Pii Digital — South Africa, since 2008
Eighteen years in. Built for what's next.
Pii Digital builds the product, runs the AI, writes the code, shoots the film, and grows the brand.
Pii Digital is a South African digital agency, founded in 2008 and based in Pretoria, Johannesburg, Durban and Cape Town, that provides AI services, web/app/software design and development, digital marketing, multimedia production and branding. It is B-BBEE Level 1 certified and has worked with organisations including the IDC, SANParks, NERSA, Parliament, Coca-Cola, McDonald's and BMW Motorrad.
Clients we've worked with
Most brands don't have an agency problem. They have five of them.
You didn't plan to become a project manager for your own marketing. But somewhere between the website rebuild, the ad account, the “let's try AI” pilot and last year's brand refresh, that's what happened. Every new vendor is another kickoff call, another context download, another set of hands that has never spoken to the other four.
Everything a modern brand needs. Nothing you have to coordinate yourself.

Discover. Design. Build. Refine.
Four stages, applied the same way across every discipline. Discovery sets the brief — AI, design, media and marketing included — before anything moves to design or build. Full breakdown on the Approach page →
- 1
Discover
Discovery sets the brief every discipline works from, so nothing gets built twice or to different assumptions.
leads to next step - 2
Design
Every screen is drafted, annotated, and reviewed before it is built.
leads to next step - 3
Build
Engineering work: tested, accessible, fast by default.
leads to next step - 4
Refine
We keep measuring after launch. The work doesn't stop at delivery.
final step
AI-built. Human-led.
Every one of the disciplines above now touches AI somewhere — the chatbot answering your leads, the workflow routing them, the content getting cited by ChatGPT instead of just ranking on Google. Years of building brand, site and media work already means the AI layered on top starts from real data and real context, not a fresh brief.
Eighteen years. Four offices. Level 1 B-BBEE.
Clients have spanned government and parastatal (the IDC, SANParks, NERSA, Parliament of South Africa, the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy, the Department of Public Enterprises and the Railway Safety Regulator), tourism and conservation (SANParks, Mpumalanga Tourism and Parks Agency, Tourism KwaZulu-Natal, Limpopo Tourism Agency, Eastern Cape Parks and Tourism Agency and Joburg Tourism), heritage and higher education (Robben Island Museum, Iziko Museums and the University of the Western Cape), consumer and FMCG (Coca-Cola, McDonald's, Wimpy and Tiger Brands), and automotive (BMW Motorrad).
Work is hosted on a local data centre alongside Azure, Google Cloud and AWS — relevant if your organisation has data-residency requirements. Case studies for these engagements are in progress; in the meantime, see who we've worked with by sector.
