Introduction
I'm Jacques Greyling a Creative
I'm a multifaceted professional with a flair for creativity and strategy. I'm also a graphic designer that can harness the power of code to bring innovative ideas to life. Finally, I'm a video editor that can devise and execute dynamic marketing strategies.
I like to refer to myself as a Digital Cartographer
In the boundless realm of the digital world, I chart the unexplored and make the known vividly clear. As a Digital Cartographer, my role transcends traditional marketing; it is an expedition into the hearts and minds of audiences across the globe. I draw the map that guides businesses through the intricate pathways of Google Ads, the rugged terrains of SEO, and the bustling metropolises of Meta Ads.
My compass is my creativity, my astrolabe the analytics. Each campaign is a carefully plotted journey, with routes designed for maximum engagement and destinations set for conversion and retention. My maps are not drawn on parchment but forged in the codes of websites and the frames of 2D animations. They are not static relics but living, breathing landscapes that evolve with every click and scroll.
Along this journey, I’ve become fluent in the languages of pay-per-click and email automation, each a dialect essential for the traveler of the web. The world I navigate is one where art intersects with algorithm, and where every brand’s story is a treasure waiting to be discovered.
I am Jacques Greyling, your guide through the digital age, your ally in carving a path to prominence in the marketplace. With a BSc in AI in my satchel and a suite of editing and design tools at my belt, I am equipped for the challenges and opportunities that await on this digital voyage.
Guiding the Digital Frontier
At the helm of innovation and marketing leadership.

By leveraging PPC strategies to cut through market noise, I bring brands into the spotlight. My proficiency in graphic design transforms visions into visual narratives, while my video editing expertise turns stories into experiences that captivate and engage. I don't just navigate the digital terrain—I define it, using a blend of creativity and analytics to connect with audiences meaningfully.
