TOPA Digital was started by two people who wanted strategy, creative and technology to live in the same place, instead of being scattered across different agencies and freelancers.
The name isn't an acronym we picked for a domain name — it's built from the two of us. It's a reminder, every time someone reads it, that this is a real partnership behind the work, not just a brand exercise.
We work as an extension of our clients' teams: close enough to understand the business, technical enough to actually build the thing, and creative enough to make it worth looking at.
TOPA — Tinashe Olwethu Paka Andre. The studio is named after the people running it.
Most agencies specialise in one lane. We built TOPA so a client never has to translate between their marketing team and their dev team — it's the same team.
