I started this the year I left school, and I’d rather you judged the work than the age.
Akira Digital is a digital marketing agency in Johannesburg. Deliberately small, which means the person you speak to is the person doing the work.
I finished school in 2024 and started Akira Digital straight after. I was 19, and I knew I wanted to build something of my own rather than work for someone else.
I taught myself marketing the practical way. I read everything I could find, tested it on my own brand first, and then applied what actually worked to client work. Building my own presence before selling it to anyone else is still how I approach it.
People are usually surprised by my age. I would rather they judge the work.
That approach is also where MARKA came from. It is an all in one platform where a business owner can run their social media and ads, write website copy and get SEO insights in one place, instead of paying for four separate tools and stitching them together.
Not a big agency. A good one.
I started Akira Digital to build something people recommend. A short list of clients who trust the work and are happy to tell someone else about it.
That is also why it matters to me when something underperforms. At a large agency you are one account out of two hundred. Here my reputation gets built one client at a time, so your results matter to me more than they would anywhere else.
You explain it once, to the person who is going to do it.
Before any work starts. One number, what is included written down, and no moving it afterwards.
Three months gives the work time to show a result. After that you can stop at any billing date.
If someone needs something outside what I do well, I’ll say so and point them somewhere else.
Owners who would rather be doing the job.
Small and medium businesses, mostly across Randburg, Fourways, Northriding, Olivedale and Douglasdale. The common thread is an owner who is good at what they do and does not have time to also become a marketer.
“They’ve been an extension of our team, taking the time to understand our goals.
I am very happy with the services of Akira Digital. Kei updated my business website using WordPress, created my Google ads and my SEOs. He did this professionally as well as friendly.
We highly recommend Akira Digital to any business looking to elevate their digital presence.
