I have been fortunate enough to work with Brett and his team from the Ethical Agency. Aside from providing a really first class design and website management service, Brett and his team also focus only on working on brands that promote an environmnetally sustainable and socially inclusive present and future. I admire the morality of this approach, and I look forward to continue working with TEA in the years to come

We can highly recommend TEA - innovative designs, collaborative teamwork, quick turnaround time. A small but dynamic professional team who are super efficient and detail orientated. We look forward to working with them in the near future.

We have been working with The Ethical Agency over the past year on the South African Plastics Pact consumer communications campaign, as well as GreenCape’s brand refresh, with a few other video, design and web projects in the pipeline. They have been spot-on with their creative direction, and produce high quality final deliverables. They are also very flexible with managing our super pedantic feedback, which we appreciate! We enjoy working with Brett and his team, and we value the alignment of their brand ethos with ours.

The Ethical Agency have worked on the brand for less than one year. However, they have been able to quickly assimilate and understand the brand, with its many nuances and areas of focus. Brett and his team are great to work with – they are professional, with expertise abound and consistently turn work out timeously. They ask the right questions to ensure that the brief sent to them is understood, as well as producing quality work with strength of concept and impact. We would most certainly recommend working with The Ethical Agency team for all website, conceptual, design, layout and brand projects.
