A Proud Milestone: Forty Under 40 Africa Winner 2026
We are incredibly proud to announce a major milestone in our journey.
Calvin van Niekerk has officially been named a Winner at the Forty Under 40 Africa Awards 2026, receiving recognition for Best Achievement in Marketing within the Ecommerce and Digital Industry.
This prestigious award celebrates young business leaders across Africa who are making a meaningful impact in their industries through innovation, leadership, and measurable results.
For us, this recognition represents far more than an individual accomplishment — it reflects years of dedication, collaboration, innovation, and an unwavering commitment to helping businesses grow through technology and strategic marketing.
The Journey Behind the Recognition
Over the past several years, our focus has been centred around one core mission:
Helping businesses unlock growth through digital innovation.
Through our work in marketing, hospitality technology, automation, and AI-driven solutions, we have had the privilege of partnering with organisations across South Africa and beyond.
Key focus areas that contributed to this recognition include:
- Driving measurable marketing performance and ROI for clients
- Developing innovative digital platforms and automation solutions
- Supporting entrepreneurship and business growth
- Advancing technology adoption within the hospitality and ecommerce sectors
- Building scalable systems that create long-term value
None of this would have been possible without the support of clients, partners, mentors, and our incredible team.
This award belongs to everyone who has been part of the journey.
From Africa to the Global Stage — Dubai 2026
