Est. 2005About THINKTEAM

Helping you share stories that inspire action

THINKTEAM is a Cape Town-based digital agency that helps governments, development agencies and NGOs connect with the people they serve. We create the branding, design, websites, films and digital tools that support this mission.

Why we started

Built for the people trying to make lives better.

I started THINKTEAM in 2005 to serve the non-profit and development community: to support and empower the people trying to have a positive impact on the world.

Communication has changed completely since then. Digital is now the main medium, audiences expect a clear and inspiring message, and the ways we reach them keep changing. So we grew into one team that covers strategy, websites, online communities, film and design, and we now work across Africa and around the world.

The aim has stayed the same: the highest quality work, and the best tools for the social change sector at a reasonable cost. Life is short, so we also try to bring some lightness to everything we do.

Ian Henderson, Founder and Director

How we work

01

One team for the whole job

Strategy, design, development and film under one roof since 2005. One brief, one contract and one accountable team, from first conversation to long-term support.

02

Human thinking. Intelligent tools.

20+ years of design craft, now supercharged by a new generation of smart technology, so the work goes further for the same budget.

03

Partners for the long term

More than 90% of our clients stay with us. Most websites we build lead to years of hosting, support and ongoing development.
