Actual client · First chapter

Dictators Barbershop: the DM that opened the door.

In 2019, Mkiva sent Dictator a direct message with a poster concept. Dictator replied, liked the work and became Qhagamshela Marketing’s first client.

That first response grew into hands-on content and marketing work for a barbershop with a distinct culture—proof that one thoughtful piece of work can start a much longer business relationship.

Today the business also has a complete website concept in the Qhagamshela portfolio.

Actual client · 2022 content shoot

Boulevard: nightlife captured in motion.

Boulevard was a nightlife venue in the Melville and Auckland Park area of Johannesburg, now operating as Monavoni Braam. This 2022 shoot captured the venue’s music, energy and social atmosphere through short-form reels with influencers.

The work is shown as a snapshot of the venue and campaign at that time.

Campaign assistance

Two brands. One production collaboration.

Nivea and G-Star campaign work produced through Hood Pixels—Nqaba’s agency and a Qhagamshela partner business. The work is credited here as collaboration, not as direct Qhagamshela brand commissions.
