Design and technology run through everything NCA ships. NCA’s CDO, Thegan Govender, leads AI integration, design and IT across everything the agency ships, which means the same team that designs your campaign assets also builds the tooling that makes producing them faster.
Our position on AI is practical. It belongs in the labour-heavy half of production: transcription, clean-up, versioning, masks and first-pass grades. The judgement about what is good, what is true and what fits the brand stays with a person. We use the tools where they save time, and we know where they fail.
Who it is for
- Marketing teams drowning in versions, formats and repetitive production tasks
- Creative businesses that want faster post-production without lower standards
- Brands that need a social design system a small team can run
- Founders who want a straight answer on what AI is genuinely good for in their business
What we make
Graphic design, AI & creative technology
01
Brand and campaign design
Campaign key visuals, social templates, decks and print, designed in the same language as the film and photography.
02
Social design systems
Templates a small team can use every week without the brand drifting, built for feed posts, stories and carousels.
03
AI-assisted post-production
Text-based editing, batch clean-up, automated masking and versioning, so one master becomes every platform cut without starting again.
04
AI workflow integration
Mapping where AI genuinely helps a marketing or content team, documenting it and training people to use it with confidence.
05
Creative IT
Practical IT support for creative businesses: storage, backups, handover of large files and the systems a studio runs on.
06
Training
Our NCA.EDU programme AI in the Edit Suite teaches the same pipeline we use, for creatives who want to build their own.
How we work
From brief to broadcast
01
Map
We look at how work moves through your team today and where time is lost to repetitive tasks.
02
Design
Visual systems and workflows designed together, so the design and the way you produce it support each other.
03
Build
Templates, pipelines and tooling set up and tested on a real piece of work, not a demo.
04
Train and hand over
We document it and train your team, so the workflow keeps working after we leave.
Work like this
Made with real clients
Founder film and relaunch campaign

A founder film on why Women of Worth exists, then a full campaign that re-established the brand across its channels through launch day, and a collection series capturing the hand-made pieces.
Brand film
FutureRent
Conceptualised and shot from scratch, away from serious and transactional, toward fun, aspirational and lifestyle-driven. A video that sells a feeling.
FAQ
Questions, answered
How do you use AI in creative work?
For the labour, not the judgement. Transcription, noise and clean-up, batch versioning, rotoscoping and first-pass grades are good uses. Deciding what is good, accurate and on brand stays with a person.
Can AI replace a video editor or designer?
It can remove a lot of repetitive work and speed up delivery, but taste and accountability still need a human. Our approach is machine speed with a human cut.
What kind of graphic design do you do?
Campaign visuals, social design systems, presentations and print, designed to match the film and photography in the same campaign.
Do you offer training so my team can use AI tools?
Yes. Our academy runs AI in the Edit Suite, a programme on building a working AI-assisted post-production pipeline. We can also design a workshop for your team.
