Agency overview

Who have we worked with?

From global energy brands and government departments to the restaurant on your corner, 150+ projects across tech, hospitality, retail, public sector and more.

A very, very culturally diverse agency…

So like, who are we?

We’re a design and marketing agency built by people who don’t fit neatly into one box.

Occan is a team of young, multicultural creatives and strategists who grew up between cultures, languages and perspectives, and we bring that into everything we make. We understand how to speak to different audiences, because we are those audiences.

We handle the full process in-house, from idea to execution, then we analyse and refine what comes next. Everyone here is highly specialised in their discipline, with enough creative range to understand how each part influences the other.

Strategy, content, design and performance don’t operate in silos here. They work together, deliberately. Backed by both creative instinct and technical thinking, we approach marketing like a system.

Very serious creatives at work

11+ creatives. 10+ languages. One cat.

English, Arabic, Mandarin, isiZulu, Xitsonga, siSwati, isiXhosa, Setswana, Afrikaans, Urdu… and Cat. Whatever language your audience thinks in, someone on this team grew up speaking it.

Specialised, but never siloed.

Each person on the team is deep in their own discipline, with a broad enough creative skill set to understand how everything connects. Shoots, edits, strategy sessions and sprints all happen under one roof, which is exactly why the work stays fast, cohesive and consistent.

A very, very integrated agency…

Everything talks to everything.

Strong digital performance is built on integration. Strategy, content, data and execution aren’t isolated steps, they’re connected parts of one continuous process, so insight, creative and performance keep informing one another. The result is work that is considered, cohesive and consistently improving.
