About SBT20
Strategy first. Craft second. Results always.
SBT20 is a Johannesburg-based strategic design and growth studio helping enterprise, fintech and high-growth businesses turn complex goals into clear brand, digital and campaign systems. We work across Africa and internationally.
We build the work brands need to move faster: identity systems, websites, campaign rollouts, photography, video and content assets. Every project starts with the business objective, the audience and the format. Then we design the thing that needs to perform in the real world. That is what we mean by design that moves the numbers.
One studio. One senior creative. Every project is led from brief to delivery by the same person. We’ve built work for organisations across financial services, fintech, aviation, publishing, government and the social sector.
Why SBT20
How we think about the work.
Strategic from the start
We do not begin with decoration. We begin with the audience, the message and the business goal behind the work.
Built for real formats
Your brand needs to work across decks, websites, social posts, reports, campaigns, events and internal communications. We design with that full system in mind.
Fast without feeling rushed
We help teams move quickly without the work looking rushed.
Premium but practical
The work must look good, make sense and be easy for your team to own and deploy after handover.
What we do
Four practices. One standard.
Brand Systems
Identity that scales.
Identity, guidelines and template systems that help your brand show up consistently across every touchpoint.
Campaign Rollouts
To market fast. Looking the part.
Launch assets, social content, print collateral, emailers and digital banners designed to move quickly without losing quality.
Websites & Digital
Your best salesperson.
Websites, landing pages and digital experiences built to communicate clearly, convert better and support growth.
Multimedia Content
Visual proof at scale.
Photography, video, motion and social content that gives your brand visual proof across platforms.
We also use AI tools to accelerate concept development and widen the creative range without replacing the craft. All services →
How we work
A process built for clarity and speed.
Brief
We start with a short call or written brief. We clarify the audience, business goal, message, timeline and success measure before any design starts.
Shape
You receive a clear project shape: recommended scope, timeline, deliverables and investment. No generic proposal. Just a practical response to what you need. Within two working days.
Build
We design, review and refine the work with one clear point of contact. You stay close to the progress without getting pulled into every small production detail.
Deliver
You receive polished final assets, organised files and clear next steps so the work can go live, be shared, printed, uploaded or handed to your team.
