We are a creative interactive agency, based in Cape Town, South Africa. Forstå, means ‘understand’ in Danish. Understanding is key to everything we do. For without understanding our clients, their goals, the customer and their needs, the macro and micro environments as well as the industries we work in, we cannot be successful. It is based on this premise that we are engineered to help brands keep

up with the ever-changing world around them. Constantly monitoring, thinking, creating and optimising to help them keep pace with consumers, competitors and the events that will impact their brand. We create innovative and engaging interactive experiences across traditional and digital channels. Our approach is reliant on through-the-line integration of all marketing elements. We are a collective of creatives, strategists, enquiring minds, alternative thinkers and visionaries. Forstå is a wholly black-owned company with a Level 1 BBBEE rating.
