Architecture Open Studios 2023 Cape Town

Open Studios 2023, Cape Town - city wide architecture event

Blackbird is a marketing micro-agency founded by Jacqui Barhouch, focused on growing sales for creative brands.

 

From solo entrepreneurs to more established companies, from e-commerce to non-profit, from furniture design to property developments, I get a kick out of helping businesses just like yours grow.

I’ve worked on behind-the-scenes strategy workshops, beautiful brand identities, grown sales with digital marketing, run city-wide events, designed impactful websites, held reflectors at photographic and film shoots, and more.

I love working with clients that are passionate about what they do, have an ambitious vision for their business, and work with authenticity and integrity.

I am usually based in Cape Town, but I also work remotely around the world, travel is my jam. I’ve led strategy workshops from remote islands and launched online businesses from airbnbs. Likewise I have collaborated with clients in Amsterdam, Johannesburg, Luanda, London, Munich, Mallorca, Morocco, and Mauritius!

Wherever you’re based, marketing principals remain the same, and I’d love to get to know your unique business and see how I can help it grow.
