Who we’re for

Finally, a better way to get creative done.

AI makes work faster. People make it right. Workspace gives you both: AI-assisted briefs and vetted creatives, managed for you.

  • Small business owners meeting around a café table

    SMEs

    A whole creative team on one monthly plan. Launch assets faster across design, web and digital, without agency costs or new hires.

  • Partners presenting a publication on stage at an international summit

    Organisations

    Scale creative output across marketing, comms and tech without adding headcount. One project manager, and delivery your stakeholders can count on.

Our mission

Powering the world’s brands with Africa’s talent.

Dependable creative capacity for marketing teams worldwide. Meaningful global work for exceptional creative talent.

Why we exist

The global creative system is broken.

Right now, marketing teams everywhere are exhausted, burnt out, and desperate for fresh ideas. At the exact same time, millions of Africa’s most gifted designers, strategists, and artists are sitting on the sidelines, waiting for a fair shot to show what they can do.

This is beyond unfair. It is a massive loss for the whole world.

I’ve felt this gap from both sides. As a founder, I spent endless nights searching for a creative team I could truly rely on. As a designer, I knew the frustration of having top-tier skill, but no access. I saw world-class talent right next to me getting ignored, while brands thousands of miles away were starving for great work.

So we built Workspace.

As an African-born team, we are dedicated to changing how the business world gets work done. We give global brands a creative team they can count on every single day, while ensuring millions of Africans have access to flexible remote work, no matter their circumstances. All they need is the skill and an internet connection.

We know this works because we lived it. What began as a boutique agency in Ghana is now a global technology powerhouse, delivering for brands across 22 countries.

Great work can come from anywhere. We make sure it reaches everywhere.

How it works

Chat. Prompt. Humans deliver.

  1. Sign up

    Choose a plan and start in seconds. Your team is assigned within minutes.

  2. Make requests

    Describe what you need, the way you would in a chat. AI shapes it into a clear brief.

  3. Review & approve

    Your vetted team delivers, typically in 1 to 3 days. Comment, request changes and approve in one place.

  4. Ship it

    Download, share or kick off campaigns right in the app. Everything you approve is yours.

The platform

One app. Web and mobile.

Brief, track, review and approve from your desk or your phone, on the same platform our team uses to deliver.

Our principles

What we stand for.

  1. Delivery first

    Reliability is the product. We commit to dates we can keep, and we keep them.

  2. Human at the centre

    Real people do the work, and real people answer when you need them.

  3. Powered by technology

    We embrace AI and automation to move faster, never to replace judgement.

  4. Built for impact

    Every project should create real opportunity, for the businesses we serve and the creatives behind the work, in Africa and around the world.
