About Us

You want to have a consistent level of marketing and event activities so that you can increase your brand’s visibility and gain traction. That takes a lot of time, money and effort.

With so many marketing platforms to choose from and the need to keep up with rapidly changing trends and technology, doing your own marketing and events often proves too time-consuming and generates little reward.

On the other hand, when hiring an in-house marketing and events team, it can be difficult to find the right people with the best mix of expertise. And then there’s the fact that you may only need marketing or events support at particular times of the year.

It makes sense to hire a marketing and events agency that you can trust to outsource your growth activities to.

But since most agencies have just one specialisation, what often happens is that you end up hiring multiple agencies to fulfil just one goal. With different agencies on board, your message can easily get lost resulting in ineffective marketing that damages growth and drains your budget.

Grey Dog is a unique full-service marketing and events agency with a team of experts ready to take care of your needs.

I love my role at Grey Dog because we are always teaching and always learning.
