TRANSFORMATION
We are A&E, the business and brand transformation agency. We are a global task force of seasoned strategists, creatives, UX/UI specialists and reputation managers. We help startups, SMEs and large corporates unlock their unique potential, transforming how they think, work, and define their place in the world.
We’re not just consultants,

Our philosophy is grounded in the principles that shape who we are, how we work, and the impact we aim to create.
How we help
STARTUPS
A&E helps startups avoid the most common (and costly) early-stage mistakes: poor user journeys, underdeveloped MVPs, and brand stories that don’t resonate. As your fractional C-suite partner, we can help you refine your strategy, sharpen your story, and shape your product - before valuable time and resources are spent building the wrong thing.
From customer profiling to pitch decks, from UX to go-to-market - we deliver cost-effective strategic, creative, and product expertise that turns a big idea into a real business.
SMEs
A&E plugs into growing businesses as an external resource to elevate strategy, sales, and operations. We bring the structure, experience, and momentum that fast-moving teams need, from sales planning and automation to customer segmentation and go-to-market execution, all without the cost or rigidity of a traditional agency model.
Whether you’re stuck in founder-led sales or looking to break into new markets, we help you scale with clarity, confidence, and control.
CORPORATES
Whether you’re launching a new product, repositioning your brand, or driving a digital transformation agenda, we help you move fast and execute with clarity.
We deliver insight, strategy, and execution that gets you to market faster, with the kind of work that truly resonates. As fractional C-suite partners, we bring senior-level expertise and impact, without the overhead of full-time hires.
What does A&E stand for?
It’s not just a cool acronym, it’s everything we bring to the table.

When Nike appointed Ogilvy to be dedicated to the Nike Football World Cup attack plan, I requested they hire Shannon on as the Account Director to work on Nike Retail Brand deliverables. Nike’s global recognition for work done on the South Africa 2010 World Cup stands testament to Shannon’s abilities to deliver excellence.
