Strategy first.
Craft second.
Results always.
SBT20 is the strategic design and growth studio for organisations that compete at the top. We sit at the intersection of brand, business and technology, building visual systems, digital products and campaign assets that make enterprises sharper, faster and more competitive.
Based in Johannesburg. Working across Africa and internationally. Every project starts with the brief, the audience and the format. Then we build the artefact that earns its place in the room.
Common questions
What does SBT20 do?
SBT20 is a strategic design and digital growth studio. We build brand identity systems, campaign assets, websites and multimedia content for organisations that want their brand to work as hard as they do.
Where is SBT20 based, and where do you work?
Our studio is in Johannesburg. We work with clients across Africa and internationally, and most engagements run remotely with structured check-ins in the project’s timezone.
How do engagements start?
Send a brief through the form or by email. Within two working days you receive a proposed shape for the engagement: scope, timeline and investment. No generic proposals - a direct response to what you have told us.
What size businesses do you work with?
Businesses of every size, from owner-run to enterprise. The qualifier is not how big you are - it is wanting work that performs. We are most effective when the brand, the audience and the business goal are clearly defined, or when we are brought in to define them.
Do you work with startups?
Yes. Early-stage companies that treat design as a strategic asset rather than a finish coat get the most from working with us, and we shape the engagement to fit the stage you are at.
