Our services Let’s chat!

Everything a brand needs,
nothing it doesn't.

Brand & Corporate Identity

Strategy-led identity systems covering naming, logos, colour, type and voice, engineered to flex across every touchpoint your brand will ever meet.

Print & Editorial

Reports, packaging, publications and collateral with real craft. Paper you actually want to pick up.

Digital & Web Design

Packaging

Shelf-stopping structural and surface design that turns browsers into buyers.

Work that works.

Short-lived name.
Long-lived work.

A mayfly lives for a single, brilliant day, so it doesn't waste a second. Neither do we. We're a tight studio of designers, strategists and makers who believe attention is earned through craft, not volume.

Every engagement gets senior people, honest timelines and work we'd happily sign twice.

“Mayfly gave us a brand our whole company is proud of, and the numbers moved too. Best agency decision we've made.”

Alex Reyes, CMO, Halcyon Coffee Roasters

“They listened harder than any agency we've worked with, then delivered an identity that finally looks like us.”

Naledi Khumalo, Founder, Bloom & Co

“From brief to launch in six weeks, without a single compromise on craft. Our rebrand paid for itself in a quarter.”

James van der Merwe, MD, Copperline Distillery

“Every touchpoint feels considered, from the boardroom deck to the till slip. That consistency changed how clients see us.”

Sarah Daniels, Marketing Lead, Fynbos Finance

“Honest timelines, senior people on every call, and work we're still proud of years later. We keep coming back.”
