What they say about us
“Sherpa are a pleasure to work with. Nothing is too much trouble. They will turn things around quickly. Above all they have a creative edge that impressive. No matter how small the job, they have the ability to deeply understand the consumer insights, the product offering and the Brand, and bring them together in powerful communication. They are a team of problem solvers and always revert with more than one solution. They are a team of passionate professionals and really decent people.
Work with them and see for yourself!
Nandi Scorer, Marketing Consultant.
“"We have worked with Sherpa for three years or so. I personally have worked with them for about 2 years, mostly on internal communications. During this period, our business has advanced significantly and Sherpa has helped us to create a vibe and culture, importantly during lockdown when the bulk of our staff worked remotely. Their communications have also played a role in aligning our staff to our brand promise. We have found Sherpa to be particularly responsive in activating new requirements by providing fast turnaround times, seldom requiring a re-briefing. They are also proactive, having gained a good understanding of our sector."
Reshna Ramgovind, Head of HR & Communications, Salt Employee Benefits
“"Sherpa have been working with us for a few years now. The input from the team at Sherpa has reinvigorated our branding and brought it alive. Gary takes time to feel the pulse of the organisation so that all his content, verbal and visual, speaks directly to us and represents our brands perfectly."
Julie Hulme, Business Process Executive of UPD
“"Motus approached Sherpa to finalise the Motus Retail brand book. This included finalisation of brand logos, as well as the development of logo iteration, taglines, proposals on signage and promo elements. Wow! The results were so refreshing. The Sherpa team really got it! The end result may meet the criteria, but often the journey can be so painful. With Sherpa this was not the case. Yes, the end results more than met the criteria… AND the interaction and timely delivery of work was such a pleasant experience. The team’s down-to-earth manner makes it easy to work with them, and no request was too much. Would I recommend Sherpa as a brand agency? Undoubtedly!"
Liesel van Olst, Marketing Manager: Motus Retail
“"I have really enjoyed Terray so far - I have had lots of comments on the lines of you have exhibited your adherence to your tagline "what it takes" in helping unlock our project" "very fresh and different" and more. Many really like the storey behind it which is fantastic as it's not just a name, it has something and being a story in the high mountains has caught the attention of many who know me and know my love for the mountains and snow!"
Walter Dhooge, Owner TERRAY
“"Sherpa worked with us at a brand and communications level when a number of diverse group companies were consolidated under the On the Dot banner. Their communications support helped us to unite the business behind a common vision and values, including getting employees to understand the concept of internal brand. The way that they were able to source content and relate easily with our team- be that at Board, management, operational or warehouse levels- made them a pleasure to work with."
Arend Kotze, ex CEO OTD
“"Our first newsletter Team Talk was both digital and printed. Despite the tight deadline, the quality and quantity of articles produced by Sherpa achieved an excellent open rate. Sherpa's friendly, helpful and down-to-earth style extracted close co-operation from the content sources which augurs well for future communications."
Kelly Phumzile Manzini, Human Resources Executive, UPD
“"Sherpa's communications support a specific brand strategy. All of the elements- ranging from content and style to frequency- are designed to create brand alignment. We are very happy with the results. As a "partner", they go way beyond what is expected of an agency."
Robert Magnus, Sales & Marketing Executive, UPD
“"From the outset, our requirement was understood and grasped in such a way that both Daniel and I learnt so much from the experience and it in fact made us think deeper. Throughout the process, nothing was too much to ask Sherpa particularly during the branding process. Yes and oh my word, the final result was beyond our imaginations. Sherpa added a touch of class to our brand and propelled our image to a new level. The amazing input from you both on the two websites was brilliant. The result - two excellent clean, focused websites which not only communicate only the most critically important information, but they are both quick and easy to navigate for the visitors to find that information which is important to them. They websites are so wonderfully functional. Thank you Sherpa Team. We knew that you were the best, but since working with you recently, you have entrenched our view that you are undisputedly the best. We will always have no hesitation whatsoever to recommend Sherpa to any businesses."
Phil Hammond, BHA - Director
“"Sherpa built our company website and do our ongoing maintenance. It has been a pleasure working with the Sherpa team, from brief to final completion. They stuck to their deadlines and delivered exactly what I was looking for, on the price and on time. And they are nice people to work with! I have no hesitation in recommending them."

"My experience of working with Sherpa has been nothing short of brilliant. They are a dedicated team of creative artists that never fail to stimulate the imagination with their exciting array of ideas, new concepts and innovation. Add to this hard work, dedication, vision, energy and an ability to easily meet deadlines, you have an unbeatable winning team. Sherpa has managed to take the difficult concept of communication with our pharmacy members and make it look easy. We are elated to have them as our partners."
Sham Moodley, ICPA Chairman
“"Our decision to go with Sherpa has been vindicated many times over. Value for money, professional service, high quality and above all, effective results are expressions of our on-going experience with Sherpa. We’ve found partners with whom we can build for the long term."
David Jooste, CEO, Trade Ocean
“"• Down to earth. • Great facilitators and listeners. • Brilliant perception / understanding. • Able to express in words how we feel about our company, even if we couldn't. We really enjoyed the interaction and we would and have already recommended Sherpa to our friends."
