About Us
We're a team that cares about the work more than the awards.
Attention Co was founded on a simple premise: the best marketing comes from understanding people, not just platforms. We're strategists, designers, storytellers, and builders based in Johannesburg — working with brands that want to mean something.
Strategy First
We don't start with deliverables. We start with questions. Who are you talking to? What do they need to hear? Why should they care? The answers shape everything.
Craft Over Hype
We'd rather build one thing beautifully than ten things fast. Every pixel, every word, every campaign is held to a standard that makes us proud to put our name on it.
Results That Matter
We measure success by business outcomes, not vanity metrics. If it doesn't move the needle — more leads, more revenue, more recognition — we rethink the approach.
The Team
The people behind the pixels.

What our clients say
Attention Co didn't just give us a new logo — they gave us a new identity that finally matches who we've become. The rebrand transformed how the market sees us. We went from "nice local vineyard" to being mentioned alongside the best in the world.
They understood that our users aren't in ideal browsing conditions. The platform they built actually works in the real world — and that's making a real difference in people's access to healthcare.
We were skeptical that a creative agency could understand financial services. Attention Co proved us wrong. They brought the same rigour we expect in our own work — and the results speak for themselves.
