ABOUT US

WE'RE THE FIRST FULL-STACK AGENCY (NOW GMP) IN SOUTH AFRICA
TMI was founded and registered by Peter Brooke-Sumner in 2008. With humble beginnings as a performance-driven Paid Search agency, TMI quickly won over some of the most recognisable brands in South Africa such as Private Property, Vodacom, Old Mutual and Virgin Active.

ABOUT US

OUR STORY

The agency was established to address the shifting needs of global brands, who wanted a data- and technology-driven marketing agency within the cost-effective environment of South Africa. TMI was uniquely positioned to provide highly-specialised skills and round-the-clock service at emerging market pricing options.

In 2013, TMI became the only digital marketing agency in SA to adopt the full Google Marketing Platform stack (formerly DoubleClick) and has owned it ever since. By 2015, we’ve grown into the largest

GMP-certified team in southern Africa, with more than 40 qualified employees across GMP, including its programmatic buying platform, ad server, and search management platform.
Over time, as our clients sought more diversified solutions, we expanded into a full-service paid and earned media agency to include Programmatic Retargeting, Search Engine Optimisation, digital strategy, website design, and creative.

Today, TMI has a strong legacy of recognition for high performance, having garnered Bookmark, New Generation, Amasa and the African Crystal International Media Awards.
