Behind the name

A whirlwind: a force that creates momentum.

Virvel Digital takes its name from the Swedish word virvel, a whirlwind. That’s exactly what we build for businesses: momentum.

Long before we had a name, we were quietly helping businesses grow through website development, search engine optimisation and digital marketing. Today we work from Northriding in Johannesburg and from Stockholm, and we have served clients in four countries.

We don’t believe in marketing for the sake of marketing. Every website we build, every campaign we launch and every strategy we create has one purpose: connecting great businesses with the people who need them most.

Vision

Nothing good should stay a secret.

Mission

We build the platform and the momentum that fills it.

What we believe

The best product doesn’t always win; the best-known one does. So we combine strategy, creativity and technology to help businesses attract more customers, build stronger brands and grow online.

The team

A small team by design.

You work with the people doing the work, not an account manager relaying messages to someone you’ll never meet.

Why choose us

We do both halves of the job, as one motion.

Most agencies do half the job. They build the website, then leave. Or they run the ads, but send them to a website that doesn’t convert. We do both halves, because each is worth less without the other.

The real reason clients stay is simpler. We agree the goal in figures before any work begins, we report on it every month in plain English, and we tell you the truth, including when something isn’t worth your money. You own everything we build. There are no lock-ins and no jargon.

  • Goals agreed in figures, upfront
  • Monthly reporting in plain English
  • You own everything we build
  • No lock-in contracts

Our skills

Four things, done properly.

We’d rather do four things properly than dabble in twenty. Four skills, one direction, all of it pointed at moving people towards your business.
