About
An agency built like a tech company.
Jarvis Digital was founded in Lagos by Daser David, Bankole Oloruntoba, and Segun Oruame. We're a small senior team that ships growth, visibility, and brand work for African companies — and we build software that lets us do it with a fraction of the headcount of a traditional agency.
Origin.
Jarvis Digital started as a question: why do African companies pay agency rates for work that's mostly junior staff manually doing what software could do? We started running marketing for a few brands using AI tools we built ourselves — and the results changed how we thought about agencies altogether.
Today, our team of five delivers what other agencies need fifteen to ship. Not because we work harder, but because the tools we build do the work that other agencies pay junior staff for.
Hivecast — our AI marketing platform — started as our internal tool. In 2026 we open-sourced it as a product for SMBs across emerging markets.
What we believe.
We build software, not just decks.
We're a marketing agency that ships code. Every client engagement uses tools we built. Our retainers stay manageable because our software does the heavy lifting.
Africa-native, globally credible.
We're rooted in Lagos. We understand Wuse 2 buying patterns and Onitsha import economics. But our engineering quality, reporting cadence, and client communication match what brands get from London or New York.
Operators, not pitchmen.
We don't deliver 40-slide strategy decks. We run growth like operators — daily, measurably, with skin in the game.
We pick a lane.
We don't do everything. Five disciplines, run deeply, integrated. If you need a one-stop shop for vague "digital transformation," we'll happily refer you elsewhere.
Our approach to AI
How AI actually shows up in the work.
“AI-native” is easy to put on a website and hard to mean. For us it is a way of working, not a feature. Here is what it looks like in practice.
We encode your brand first
Before anything ships, your positioning, tone, and rules become a structured brand profile our models work from. The AI is not generic — it is your brand, made operable.
AI drafts, seniors decide
Models produce at volume; experienced humans choose what is right, kill what is not, and own the result. The leverage is in the judgement, and that stays human.
The system compounds
Every engagement sharpens the tooling that runs the next one. Clients do not pay to rebuild the wheel — they inherit everything we have already learned and built.
Measured end to end
From first impression to closed sale, the work is instrumented. We can trace what moved the number, so decisions are made on evidence rather than opinion.
How we're different from other agencies.

Jarvis Digital
- ✓5 senior people + AI infrastructure
- ✓Software-augmented production
- ✓30-day pilots before commitment

- ✓Ongoing operational involvement
Where we work
Lagos · Abuja · Jos — and clients beyond.
We are anchored in Nigeria and build for organisations that span the continent — from newsrooms and global technology firms to innovation hubs and public institutions. A few of the teams we have worked with:
IT Edge News
Media
Audience growth and search visibility for a leading African tech publication.
SBTS Group
Outsourcing
B2B positioning and demand for a global technology and outsourcing firm.
nHub
Innovation
Brand, web and event marketing for Northern Nigeria's first tech hub.
NCDC
Public Sector
Public communications and digital presence for a new federal commission.
What's next.
Two threads run in parallel. The agency keeps growing — taking on a few new senior clients per quarter, mostly Nigerian and pan-African brands ready to scale. Hivecast keeps shipping — moving from Lagos to Nairobi, Dubai, Mumbai, and São Paulo through 2026.
If you want to be part of either — as a client, an investor, a hire — get in touch.

The first 30 minutes are free. We'll give you a written growth audit at the end of the call, whether you hire us or not. No pitch deck, no obligation.
