Founded in 1989 and headquartered in Cape Town and Johannesburg, AdMakers International is a through-the-line advertising and marketing agency specialising in building high-value brands across complex and competitive markets.
For almost four decades, the agency has partnered with clients aimed at higher income groups where brand positioning, strategic clarity and measurable commercial outcomes are essential.

Why Premium Clients Choose ADMAKERS
Strategic Depth
AdMakers’ approach is rooted in strategic thinking and holistic, integrated execution rather than the traditional often fragmented ‘specialist’ agency model. Rather than producing isolated campaigns, AdMakers highly experienced through-the-line senior management team works closely with carefully selected clients to develop long-term brand and marketing strategies aligned to broader commercial objectives. These strategies are then executed across the full marketing ecosystem – all by in-house specialists - from brand development and advertising to media planning and buying, digital performance marketing, lead generation, content production and CRM.
Integrated Execution
AdMakers operates as a fully integrated agency with capabilities spanning strategy, creative development, digital and traditional media planning and buying, television and film production, CGI and AI-enhanced content creation, and performance marketing. Housing all of these capabilities under one roof, allows the agency to deliver cohesive and highly effective campaigns, while maintaining efficiency and consistency across channels.
Based in Cape Town and Johannesburg. Operating Globally.
Cape Town’s reputation as one of the world’s leading production destinations also enables AdMakers to support its international brands with high-quality commercial production and branded content. The region’s diverse locations, experienced production crews and favourable production economics, make it an attractive alternative to many traditional global filming hubs.
