At the heart of the creative and digital world lies a story that began with a simple conversation - a “Hello” followed by a bold “Yes.” That’s the spirit behind HelloYes Marketing, a trailblazing Marketing agency founded in 2014 that’s turned an ambitious idea into a global force in digital marketing.
What started as a small, passionate team has grown into a multifaceted, IAB SA (Interactive Advertising Bureau of South Africa) and Google-partnered agency known for disrupting traditional marketing norms with fresh thinking, innovative strategy, and a forward-looking approach.
At its core, HelloYes blends strategy, creativity, and technology - all fuelled by the belief that great ideas deserve bold execution. Their team comprises top creatives, strategists, and analysts who thrive in a collaborative environment that encourages innovation and agile problem-solving.
The agency was co-founded by Marcelle McDonald, a seasoned strategist with decades of experience working with blue-chip brands and driving creative business solutions, and John McDonald, whose focus on data and technology supports HelloYes’s strategic and analytical edge. Together, they champion a philosophy that challenges “business as usual,” helping brands connect meaningfully with their audiences.
But HelloYes isn’t just about ideas - it’s about results. With a holistic service offering that spans digital strategy, brand creativity, and technology-driven solutions, the agency helps businesses not only stand out but also grow in an increasingly competitive and digital-first world.
From Johannesburg to Ljubljana and London, HelloYes carries its “Yes!” attitude across borders, proving that when creativity meets strategy, the possibilities are endless.
Whether you’re a startup with big dreams or an established business looking for fresh momentum, HelloYes is all about saying “Yes” to smarter, bolder, and more effective marketing - one connection at a time.
