Afric Oil
The relationship between Afric Oil and 8 Seconds Branding and Design.
The organization has assisted Afric Oil with the redesign of the company’s Corporate Identity the outcome of this process is an impressive logo and pay off line, both of which capture the spirit of the new Afric Oil very accurately.
8 Seconds made an important contribution to the design of the “the look and feel” of Afric Oil’s new premises.
It is my belief that some of the country’s best creative talent in the business can be found within 8 Seconds and it has been our privilege to benefit from this.

African Bank
This is to state that African Bank has been making use of 8 seconds Branding and Design as their Below-the-Line advertising agency for more than two years.
The company delivered exemplary service in the development and expansion of the African Bank Corporate Identity.
This encompassed all aspects including stationery, signage, print advertisements, point-of-sale materials and promotional items.
I have always found 8 seconds very capable and innovative in their design work. The management allows a close liaison between designer/studio and client.
A work –style that I particularly appreciate as it allows for quicker turn around times and savings on material costs.
During huge projects, such as R1.6 million corporate launch, 8 seconds proved that they rate amongst the best in the industry.
On the other hand, no task/request was ever deemed too small to give 100% effort and attention.
The administration and management have proved to be efficient and well up to par with the other agencies and African Bank makes use of.
African Bank has built up a good relationship with the Account Director as well as the Marketing Director of 8 Seconds.
Their open-door policy makes for open and transparent liaison with the company an it is much appreciated.
Should you wish for more information, please feel free to contact me.

I have hired 8 Brand and Image two times as my Branding & Advertising Agency at Coca-Cola in RSA and at Zain/Celtel International where they proved to be a most reliable, creative and effective Agency
8 Brand and Image are professionals who live, display and deliver creativity in Brand and Advertising Development. They are focused and dedicated to the work at hand.During the period I worked with them, they developed and executed our Trade Marketing Go To Market strategy when we rebranded from Celtel to Zain. The creative work for the look and feel our General Retail Trade came together with its strategy as well as executional plans. It was such a brilliant master piece that worked well to deliver our trade results.
I believe that 8 Brand and Image will make a valuable addition to any organization that they may work with.
I would gladly answer any request for further information.
