Machete is an integrated brand communications agency established in 2002 by award-winning copywriter and creative director, Nicholas D R Shepherd. From a powerful base in the area of property development marketing, we are currently diversifying our portfolio, deliberately seeking both commercial and cause-related clients whose values we admire, and who admire the value of creativity. Our premises are in Observatory, Cape Town, but we service clients throughout South Africa. We are 50% Black-owned and 100% behind the progressive economic transformation of our country (BEE certification in progress).
