Ashraf Garda -Champion South Africa
Naz Consulting International led by the talented and impact driven Naz Ebrahim is the official digital partner to Champion South Africa.
I’ve known Naz as this highly driven woman for many years but it’s only in the last two months that we have agreed to collaborate. It’s come from a need for Champion South Africa to step up it’s digital presence. Champion South Africa is a movement with a goal to inspire the building of South Africa into a champion nation. That means all the moving parts that make up the whole that is Champion South Africa needs to be champion level. Our digital levels were not champion level . In stepped Naz Consulting and in two months the shifts are remarkable. Our regular digital posters are sharper, our posters that preview the Mail & Guardian Twitter Space that I host has been so impressive that we have received many “wows” and now Mail & Guardian through Champion South Africa uses the same posters to promote their Twitter Space with me .
Naz Consulting now also provides the to the minute live streaming tweets on the M&G Space that I host. That’s huge!
Our posters and imaging is beige redefined, and our website is being totally revamped and we expect to see nothing less than best in class champion quality again.
Naz Consulting also created a fabulous Heritage digital content video for us . I’ll share it if you wish to see it ...
Now they have thrown their digital might behind our #ChampionYourPurpose campaign- this campaign would not have landed without their support .
The team behind Naz Consulting are champions in their space , best in class and we work extremely well together .
Bottom line - am I glad that they are our digital partners ? Yes
Would I recommend them to others for their services ? Yes
Wouid I like to grow the partnership ? Yes
Im my role as Champion Spotter I look out for champions everywhere and it’s clear that Naz Consulting International are a champion digital team 🏆🇿🇦

Graphic Design
Naz stepped in to help me at the last minute and was fantastic. She redesigned a presentation for me, did it in a flash, and got it perfect the first time. She then assisted me in making a video of my presentation and I am delighted with the rests. I will definitely be going back to her for more work in future. More...

Describe your creative process.
Our creative process follows these steps:
1. Discovery: Getting to know the customer and their business or brand. Asking the right questions. Performing an audit on existing data and platforms.
2. Developing a solution through a proposal depending on what the client requires. If it is a retainer client meaning that the engagement with us will be six months or longer, then a phased program to deliver on what the client requires is developed. If it is a once-off project, we prepare a project plan detailing milestones and deliverables, have a kick-off workshop with client and follow the timeline from there.
3. Managing expectations. This is critical to keep the client aware of what is happening with their delivery at all times. We use email and Whatsapp including a dedicated cloud storage file to keep clients informed through status updates on a weekly and monthly basis. The dedicated cloud storage file holds all reports, invoices, and marketing collateral prepared for the client. The client always has access to this file.
4. Reporting: This is critical to showcase the deliverables that we have agreed to in a Service Level Agreemnent or once-off quotation with basic Terms and Conditions.
What information do you need from a client before you can start work?
- An extremely clear brief of what is expected for delivery
- All links to existing digital platforms
- Any form of marketing collateral the client currently uses
- Any Corporate identity guides or similar they may have
- Reports on data of past activity if available
- A proposed budget of potential spend
Before actual work can kick-off, we will require a signed quotation to proceed or signed SLA if the agreement is on an ongoing retainer basis and first payment as discussed in the Terms and Conditions.
What do you love most about your job?
The chance to ask the right questions so we get the best out of our clients.
Meeting new people and businesses through our work.
The pace of our industry and continuing changes to technology to enable us to deliver to clients.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I was always determined to run my own enterprises. I am also not built to be an employee and have a better affinity to inspire growth in my people in my team.
Why should our clients choose you?
We have a great track record with existing and past clients who attest to the quality and intention of our work. We're also invested in the client winning with the work that we do. The care and attention that we show to our clients are key to our delivery. Our product knowledge is on par with the latest industry trends, changes, and updates to platforms. This is highly critical in optimizing platform builds and preparing content for our clients.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes, we provide all our services remotely as our business runs on a host of cloud-based tools as do all the platforms from which clients expect a service.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
We have been fortunate that our entire business runs online so remote working was made easier through customers embracing video conferencing on a full time basis including moving more to a cloud based approach to working and connecting.
