Whatever Works Studio
A Creative Studio in Hermanus
Whatever Works is a creative studio focusing on branding, marketing, and practical creative solutions. We work across strategy, design, and physical brand elements such as signage and branding décor to help businesses show up with clarity and confidence.
Our approach is rooted in uncovering what truly works for you and your customers, translating insight into tailored strategies, visuals, and campaigns that highlight what makes you different. We believe the best results come from close collaboration, offering a hands-on, 1-on-1 working relationship where creativity and insight come together to support sustainable growth.
Our Clients
We’ve had the pleasure of working with a small but meaningful mix of clients, including local businesses, independent brands, and individuals taking their first steps in clarifying their marketing and visual identity. While we’re still in the early chapters of the studio, each collaboration has been hands-on and personal, allowing us to create thoughtful, practical solutions that genuinely connect with the people they’re meant for.
These early partnerships have helped shape how we work, reinforcing our belief that good branding isn’t about size or status, but about clarity, intention, and finding what truly works.
Here are some of the projects we've worked on
Latest Projects
2025
Maximalist Papaya
Interior Design Studio | Somerset West
Maximalist Papaya is an avant-garde interior design team with a bold, expressive point of view. They already had a stunning logo and branding, but weren’t sure how to apply it effectively across their online presence. We worked with them to shape the early stages of their creative strategy, refine their digital spaces, and take over basic social posting—helping them feel confident about what to share and why.
Together, we aligned their website and portfolio to showcase the sophistication and confidence of their work, ensuring their digital presence truly reflects their distinctive, maximalist approach.
Pigalle's
Curated Thrift Boutique | Hermanus
Pigalle’s is a vibrant, fashion-forward thrift boutique run by a small but mighty team. We refreshed their branding to better match the energy, colour, and personality of the store, while also guiding them on how to show up more consistently on social media. We made sure their business is findable on Google and social platforms, helping new and returning customers discover their curated collections.
Working with a modest day-to-day marketing budget and limited imagery, we focused on making the most of what they had—helping them share more of their story, stock, and day-to-day rhythm. These women are a powerhouse, and our role was to help their online presence start reflecting that.
Aucamp & Kie
Lawyer | Bellville
Aucamp & Kie is a newly established law firm, and a great example of how thoughtful branding can work within a modest marketing budget. We created their logo, full branding guide, and essential marketing collateral to help them launch with confidence and professionalism.
We also consulted on their website and designed a set of simple, adaptable adverts they can use and adjust as needed. As the firm grows and adds to their marketing resources, we’ll continue supporting their social media presence and expanding their advertising in a way that feels manageable and sustainable.
