Brnded (Pty) Ltd
What does your company do?
We provide affordable social media management, branding, and web design services. The two co-owners realised that just because you are a small business, it doesn’t mean you should pay big-business-money to get your name out there.
What is your biggest success?
My fellow co-owner and I did not get the opportunity to work for a company (the job market is very tough for graduates at the moment). We both kept on hoping that one day we would receive an email not starting with “we regret to inform you”, but it never came. We both decided to start our own business. And not just “let’s see how it goes” and “we can still apply for other jobs in the mean time”. No, we went full on- we registered the business, opened a business bank account, all the admin. To us, it was a massive success to have started a business.
What has been your biggest hurdle?
We are super excited to have the business, and we would like to help so many small businesses. It’s just tough to get our name out there. We have social media accounts and a website. The main tough thing is to get your name our there. We know we have the potential, we just need people to give us the chance to blow their minds.
