About Ignite Media

Since 2013, Ignite Media has partnered with businesses seeking growth they can trust — measurable, predictable, and aligned to the realities of their market.

We are a strategic consultancy specialising in brand development, marketing strategy, and digital campaign planning. Our work blends analytical insight with strategic creativity, enabling leadership teams to make confident, commercially sound marketing decisions.

Unlike traditional marketing agencies, we begin with strategy, not tactics. We examine your brand foundations, market position, and growth objectives to identify real opportunity, reduce risk, and ensure alignment before execution begins.

We combine strategic consulting with hands-on execution support, working closely with internal teams to strengthen your brand and marketing ecosystem — from positioning and messaging to campaign frameworks, processes, and supporting technology. Our focus is on building clarity and structures that continue to support growth long after our engagement ends.

As a Level 1 BBBEE contributor, we are committed to supporting sustainable, ethical, and strategically grounded business growth.

Behind Ignite Media

Her early career as a risk analyst shaped how she approaches marketing: through a disciplined, insight-driven lens that identifies opportunities, anticipates challenges, and creates predictable, secure growth pathways for her clients.

As the founder of Ignite Media, she partners with businesses to build brands and strategies that are both visionary and strategically sound. Her work blends deep analysis with human-centred storytelling, turning ideas into campaigns that deliver measurable, sustainable results.

Outside of work, Janine enjoys spending time with her family and friends, exploring nature, and pursuing creative projects that inspire personal growth and fulfillment.
