Where Retail Meets Results
Five specialist companies. One roof. Complete retail solutions.
Who We Are
Collaboration by Design
COLAB is a collective of five specialist companies united under one roof at COLAB House in Johannesburg. Each company brings deep expertise in a distinct discipline — together, we cover the entire retail value chain.
From boots-on-the-ground activations and retail account management, to data analytics, digital marketing, and sell-out acceleration — our clients get one seamless partnership instead of five separate agencies.

Five companies sharing space, ideas, and a unified vision for retail excellence.
Full Value Chain
Physical activations, account management, analytics, digital marketing, and sell-out — all covered.
Core Competencies
Each company sticks to what it does best. No compromises, no generalists.
