Introducing
Branduo

Branduo is a specialist brand strategy and design consultancy. We help our clients to articulate their business value with clarity and charisma. Overcome confusion, competition and inconsistency with a strategic brand refresh that instils conviction and credibility.

We pride ourselves on our ability to apply emotional intelligence to the full spectrum of creative services we offer. We place ourselves in the minds, hearts and pockets of your customers, creating written, visual and digital content that truly resonates and drives connection.

Hand-held branding

Branding or rebranding your business can feel incredibly overwhelming. What am I trying to say about my brand? What kind of logo do I like? Do I really need a brand purpose? Are business cards even a thing anymore? What the hell is WordPress?

There is a wealth of creative talent in South Africa, with a plethora of excellent designers and developers to choose from. But few will feel like an extension of your team, protecting your brand as if it was his or her own. Not many will get to know you and your customers personally, in order to position your brand as the best possible choice to fulfil their needs.
With Branduo, you’ll work hand-in-hand with our founder, Jenni. You’ll quickly feel as though she’s been part of the furniture forever. She’ll learn everything she possibly can about your business and use these insights to create an astute brand strategy, which she’ll help you execute every step of the way.

Jenni will listen to your thoughts and ideas and turn them into stories that’ll cultivate a connection with your customers. She’ll hand-pick the best designers, developers and marketers to meet your creative needs, new brand personality and budget. She’ll make an otherwise overwhelming process a genuinely manageable, valuable and exciting one.

Who’s behind Branduo?

Branduo is owned and managed by Jenni Benatar. From a young age, Jenni realised that deep insights could fuel deep connections. After graduating with a postgraduate degree in marketing from the University of Cape Town, Jenni worked across the arenas of brand building, strategic communications, design and business development. Almost a decade of 8am-5pm’s later, she took a leap of faith and founded a boutique agency of her own in a home office filled with greenery, flexibility and dog-hair.

Jenni loves nothing more than diving into an organisation’s deepest corners, working with business founders to give words to their ideas, turning bullet-points into engaging stories and translating goals into actionable roadmaps.

She is a natural project-manager, leaving no stone unturned and infuses her strategic brand workshops with humour, empathy and clarity.

So who’s the duo?

Branduo is a partnership of excellence with hand-picked creatives who value the inspiration and direction instilled in brand strategy. Experts in their respective fields of design, website development, PR, digital and traditional marketing, they are adept at translating strategic insights into distinct, memorable and beautiful visual brands.

The benefits of the Branduo model are numerous

Branduo offers a unique model of collaboration with hand-picked creatives who are specialists in their respective fields of graphic design, website development, PR, digital and traditional marketing.

We partner with talented freelancers and agencies who are best in class and inherently value the art of strategic brand-building. Equally important is how well their work ethic, values and professionalism aligns with our own.

Branduo clients save time by liaising with a single, expert brand builder and project-manager. They benefit exponentially from work created by a team of industry leading creative talent. At the same time, creatives who are guided by sound strategy produce work that is relevant, meaningful and long-lasting, saving our clients ample time and money over the long-term.
