We are a curious team of highly skilled data and technology practitioners, inspired by experimentation and new ideas.

This is the lifeblood of the future-forward solutions we deliver, that empower our clients to compete every day, in a dynamic environment.

And it is the reason we have become trusted advisors to CEOs, strategic partners to CMOs, and operational partners to CIOs, around the globe.

We help clients leverage the power of Google's Marketing and Cloud platforms to transform their marketing organizations and accelerate growth.

With access to expert consultancy services and a deep bench of specialised skills, we deliver what marketers need to compete effectively, increase efficiency, and drive growth.

We are well known for our open, transparent, and honest relationships with clients. We identify opportunities for innovation while remaining firmly grounded in business reality.

We demystify complex tasks and impart knowledge without hype or pretense, and we shape marketing ecosystems to drive growth through the intelligent application of data and technology.

Our contribution is measured by our clients' success. We understand that speed to value is critical. This is why we release value at every step of the process. Every day we build our skills and hone our craft to get our clients the results they deserve.

Google and other partners are a key strategic pillar and critical to the development of a healthy opportunity pipeline, for sustainable and profitable growth.

As a trusted advisor, you are the person who will collaborate with multiple tiers of the client and partner organisations.

This includes C-suite individuals through to client leads and strategists.

Acceleration Sub-Saharan Africa is a rapidly scaling business, and holds a core focus on continuing this scale across in South Africa, Kenya and other net new markets .

This breeds a highly dynamic, entrepreneurial environment which you will be required to participate in.

You will often need to perform and deliver against many tasks/responsibilities outside of your defined scope, acting as a true partner to the success of the Acceleration organisation in SSA.
