our values:

compassion

In the fast-paced and ever-changing digital landscape, we believe agility, fluidity, and freedom are crucial for our team to deliver exceptional work to our clients.

Your Digital Marketing Team

What started as Sol claiming her time and choosing to use her marketing talents in a non-traditional way has led to forming the Dawning Digital team. We’re a group of innovative, motivated creatives who can’t wait to collaborate with your brand.

Meet Your Team

Dawning Digital is a remote team based all across the world – but we’re held together by our love for 3 things: coffee, anything with fur and four legs, and shining light on your brand!

Former Digital Nomad, now based in Amsterdam (due, in no small part, to a particularly mischievous Cocker Spaniel called Honey) Sol has over a decade spent in digital marketing. With a wealth of international experience, she broke away in 2018 to build her own business, focused on the idea of meaning-driven, value-creating marketing. Sol looks better in a jumpsuit than literally anybody else.

SOL SPIER
owner + creative director

The gears behind Sol’s creative steam, Cape Town-based project manager Jozi could possibly be the world’s most organized person. An absolute titan of lists, solutions, schedules, and getting stuff done, Jozi is any client’s ideal port of call for prompt replies, attention, and absolute adherence to deadlines - all with a sparkling sense of humor. Given her perfect balance of web design mastery and kitchen wizardry, Buzzfeed Food better watch out.

JOZI CILLIERS
DIGITAL PROJECT MANAGER

Another entrepreneur on our team, Kimmy is our in-house design wizard - based in sunny Durban. Her sleek, minimal design style says everything with the understated cool you’d expect from a mellow beach babe, and there’s no brief she can’t nail with a trendy flair. Our resident sportsman, Kim’s the most easygoing person you’ll ever meet - until you challenge her to a relay, that is. She’s also an undercover meme queen.

KIM TOCKNELL
BRAND DESIGNER

Our Johannesburg based dog and cat mom is the full package. From design to trend research to caption writing, she does it all. Trust us when we say, your social media accounts are in good hands with Maya. Her blue hair and big smile are guaranteed to lift your spirits in any zoom call and if you're really lucky, furr baby number one, Odin will pop into the screen to say hi.

Maya Molony
Social Media Coordinator

Dawning Digital’s resident Krakow correspondent, Inga has a history in hospitality - which means there is nobody better at handling a challenging customer and turning your brand’s space into a welcoming one than her. An absolute powerhouse at running and managing social ad campaigns, as well as creating stories and Reels, Inga is singlehandedly the best engagement boost your brand could ask for. She will also fight anyone for the last spring roll. Anyone.

INGA DZIERGAS
Social Media & Ads Manager

The latest and greatest #turfhead from Richards Bay. Paige is the friendly voice in your DMs and the go to person for amazing story designs or an organized checklist. Her attention to detail is exactly what you need to make sure that every social media post is perfect. You're bound to find out so we may as well get it out the way... Paige does do CrossFit so if you want to talk about exercise, feel free to start an email thread.

Paige Lotter
Social Media Coordinator

Dawning Digital's resident US based team member, Lisa. She is our candle making queen with incredible organizational skills. If you want a detailed brief or organized schedule, look no further. When she isn't spending time with family, making candles or working for Dawning Digital, she is fulfilling her number one role as dog mom to Hazel.

Lisa Galvan
Client and Content Manager

You can fast track straight to nickname basis with our beach lover, social media fanatic and wild life conversationalist, Seh. Against all odds, Seh has found herself in a company that thinks VERY highly of her extensive TikTok screen time. When she is not on TikTok, you can rely on her for positive vibes, a friendly smile and a good chat.

Sarah Pepworth
