After spending several years in media and design management, I decided to start my own initiative. From the start I knew the key importance of professional marketing and branding. Witz Communication has the talent to visualise and create exceptional work under the tightest deadlines. Central to this is their intuitive understanding not only what their clients want, but more importantly what they actually need. This is a rare skill indeed. Ian, thank you for making me proud of the presentation of my projects, for going that extra mile and producing ideas and designs beyond my wildest imagination.

Ian Witz

Ian Witz has provided a professional service on a pro bono basis to Cape Mental Health, an award-winning and best practice non-profit organisation, since 2013. His striking designs for the marketing materials of our 19th, 20th and 21st Cape Town International Kite Festivals have covered a range of materials (Facebook cover picture, email footer/banner, website home page, printed media advertisements, festival posters and flyers, placement of sponsors' logos, and PowerPoint templates). Ian's beautiful and uplifting designs have had the desired impact of helping us to raise the profile of our annual premier awareness-raising and fundraising event, and to capture the attention of a diverse audience. We love his work and value his support of our mental health care services to poorly resourced communities and to people with mental disability. We are proud of our long-term relationship with Ian and enjoy a warm and rewarding working relationship. He is competent and responsive, has a quick grasp of what is required, is patient and gracious with our multiple requests, and is committed to getting the task done within the agreed-upon timeframes. His generosity, kindness and thoughtfulness are personal attributes that have earned our highest regard. Cape Mental Health is proud to be associated with Witz Communication and recommends him wholeheartedly. We hope that we will continue to benefit from his professional services.

Robert Payne

Job Titles:
  • Director
I approached Ian Witz to remodel my business website having seen the work he had done for a former colleague. He was immediately available to meet with me and discuss my needs, and promptly instilled in me a sense of confidence in his abilities. Once he started the process of building the site (using copy provided by me to him) I was impressed with how well he understood the essence of my business, and how well he captured this in various sections of the website. When I saw the finished product including his astute choice of images I was satisfied beyond my expectations! A truly professional, world class piece of work which equals the best I have seen, and which does my business proud.

Job Titles:
  • Marketing Manager
Over the last 20 years I have had to worked with a number of designers. The process has been stressful and frustrating and until working with you, it has been something that I dreaded and avoided at all costs. Working with you has restored my enjoyment of design.
