Senior digital talent. Cape Town rates. Your time zone.
Area 213 is a Cape Town digital agency for brands and agencies in the UK and Australia. Strategy, design, copy, websites, SEO and AI, led by a founder who’s worked on Nike, adidas and Coca-Cola.
UK clients get most of our working day. Australian clients brief us before they go home and wake up to finished work.
Big-agency experience, without the big-agency overheads.
We’ve done the work for global brands and the agencies behind them. We run lean from Cape Town, so you pay for experienced people, not the building they sit in.
Book us for a single project, a few days a month, or as a dedicated team working alongside yours. You decide how much you need. We scale up or down with you.
The right people for the job. Nobody you don’t need.
Every brief gets its own team. A strategist to set the direction, a designer and a writer to make the work, a developer to build it.
You pay for the skills the job needs, for as long as it needs them, and nothing more.

About AREA 213
AREA 213 was founded in 2015 as a full-service creative agency by Ben Wren. Having spent over 20 years in Advertising and Digital agencies he has worked with some of the finest brands in the world and won numerous awards.
Local clients included: Mantis Hotels, HyPlat, Frogfoot and Marathon Group. Then some international clients came onboard including: Nelsons (UK), adidas (UK), Anglia DNA (UK), Covidfit2fly (UK) and project work for Bresic Whitney (Aus).
He found working for clients offshore gave us a real advantage. Particularly when time-zones can be used to gain an competitive advantage.
Our talent offering has expanded over the years to service the needs of our clients. Our focus is helping clients with Tech, Marketing and VA’s. If you feel the model can work in more sectors please get in touch. We’re happy to chat.
