"HelloFCB+ combines technology and creativity to create strong, meaningful connections between clients and their audiences from the moment they first engage with a brand, all the way through to conversion and retention," a press statement said.

Strength in combined skill sets

HelloFCB+ CCO Mike Barnwell says that by combining the skill sets of FCB Cape Town and Hellocomputer Cape Town, the new agency is able to address the full spectrum of clients’ needs across the entire customer journey.

FCB Cape Town is known for building some of South Africa’s most loved brands, as demonstrated by its clients’ performance in the Sunday Times Top Brands survey and on Kantar Millward Brown Adtrack’s Most Liked Ads lists. Hellocomputer Cape Town has, in turn, been acknowledged, along with Hellocomputer Johannesburg, a two-times winner of the Digital Agency of the Year Award at the AdFocus Awards.
