Bergast House

Bergast House An agency built to help you stand out through brave creativity. Perhaps the first question on everybody's lips is what does Bergast mean?

Well, apart from sounding really cool, we just couldn't find the perfect word to describe what we do. So we followed the advice of one great trailblazer "if you can't find a word that describes the way you feel, makes your own". So Bergast House was born, and we do work that leaves our audience 'flabbergasted'. At Bergast House, we believe in, 1. The fight against the ugly, 2. Creatively solving p

roblems, and 3. Delivering on our promises. That's why we resonate with the bible character, David. If you look closely, you will notice that our logo is a stylized image of the sculpture of David by Gian Lorenzo Bernini. This is where our internal payoff line comes "we bring down giants" comes from. At Bergast, we like results, and the way to get results in our game is to win the hearts and minds of audiences for our brands. We want to think of it as left-brain solutions to right-brain problems. It's an approach that doesn't allow for the separation of strategy and creativity. Instead, we believe in finding the perfect balance between creativity and strategic thinking. This results in work that touches people and moves them and ultimately achieves our client's business objectives. At Bergast House, there are no egos; instead, there is a team of passionate humans who are constantly in touch, in awe and in love with the world around them. This positive energy imbues our agency and helps us push towards our dream of helping African Brands make their mark globally. Bergast House is not a big agency, well, not in size anyway. But we enjoy the luxury of having a team of BIG dreamers and BIG doers who are ready to help you take on your Goliath.
