Brandtech+, the global creative and technology “engine room” of The Brandtech Group, announced they have 100 global roles open for mid-to-senior talent and AI-aligned specialisations.
It’s a bold move at a time when South Africa’s advertising and production sector is facing retention challenges, consolidation and rising uncertainty around AI.
A global gateway few South Africans know exists, but should
Despite being one of South Africa’s largest production operations with over 220 local employees, Brandtech+ remains relatively unknown as one of the country’s biggest global creative players.
Globally, the company forms a 1000-person creative engine powering Brandtech Group companies including OLIVER Agency and Inside Ideas Group, delivering work exclusively for international brands across the US, UK, Europe, Asia and Latin America. With teams across five continents and deepening investment in South Africa, Brandtech+ offers one of the most scalable global-work gateways available to African creatives today.
Why the focus on South Africa right now?
“South Africa remains one of the world’s most sought-after talent hubs for global creative work and has been one of our strategic hiring markets,” says Candice Siege, Global Chief Operations Officer at Brandtech+. “The favourable time zone for UK, Europe and the US, the internationally recognised creative pedigree, the strong work ethic, and a maturing remote-work culture all make South African talent an exceptional fit for global work.”
“We’re scaling faster than we can hire, and that’s a good problem to have,” she adds. “There’s a misconception that growth equals instability. In our case, it’s the opposite. We have a low attrition rate because we can connect opportunity for them to work on global brands, receive world-class training, and feel genuinely supported by our leadership teams.”
AI is not the threat, it’s the accelerator
While AI continues to unsettle the global job market, Brandtech+ positions technology as an enabler, not a threat. Brandtech+’s message lands squarely in this moment: AI isn’t taking creative jobs, it’s enabling better ones, and South Africans are well positioned to lead that evolution. Every new hire receives advanced training through Pencil, The Brandtech Group’s proprietary AI platform that equips creatives to work smarter, faster and more imaginatively.
Siege says, “AI isn’t taking over creative roles; it’s removing inefficient processes, enabling more time for strategic thinking and creativity. Exceptional talent will always be valuable, but AI enhances what skilled people can do. Our goal is for South Africans to lead this change instead of observing from afar.”
A culture built for self-starters, problem-solvers and pioneers
At the heart of Brandtech+ lies a culture intentionally designed to help ambitious people thrive. “Creative problem-solving, pioneering innovation and self-starter energy are baked into our DNA, fueled by a shared ambition to help clients grow and a belief that diversity, dedication, inspiration and integrity drive world-class creative performance, our people want to win.” says Siege.
She adds that with strong support teams and peer networks, the company’s remote-first model empowers talent to do the best work of their careers while staying connected to a global creative community.
“We’re fun and irreverent, but we take people’s careers and development extremely seriously,” she says. “Our culture works because it empowers self-starters to grow and deliver meaningful work.”
A fully remote, globally immersed career, without relocating
“South Africans don’t need to emigrate or navigate the local pitch treadmill to work on the world’s biggest brands,” she says. “Our model is remote and genuinely flexible, giving talented people the chance to build global careers from home.”
What the 100 available roles represent
Siege points out that this wave of new openings marks Brandtech+’s next scale phase, built on one core belief: Great talent can come from anywhere. Global creative opportunities shouldn’t be limited to traditional hub locations; it should belong to anyone talented enough to deliver it.
“Our goal is simple,” she concludes. “We want incredible, future focused South African creatives, strategists, producers and technologists to realise they can build international careers from home, and that Brandtech+ is the most exciting and empowering place to do it. We’re building the world’s best GenAI marketing company, and South Africans will be a defining part of that future.”

Creative Directors, Art Directors, Copywriters, Designers, Motion and CGI Artists, Developers, Project Managers, Account Leads, AI-aligned hybrid creative roles, Content teams, Digital producers and more.
