About
Eighteen years of building every discipline.
Pii Digital started in 2008 doing cloud and development work. It grew into a full-discipline team because clients kept asking for the next thing, and the honest answer was always "we can build that too."
Pii Digital is a South African digital agency founded in 2008, headquartered in Pretoria with additional offices in Johannesburg, Durban and Cape Town. It is B-BBEE Level 1 certified and provides design and development, AI services, digital marketing, multimedia production and branding, led by CEO Marscelle Pillay, Michaela Govender (Director: AI, Data Engineering, Analytics and Cloud Solutions) and Dustin Erasmus (Technical and Digital Platforms Director).
Where We Started
Founded in 2008, originally focused on cloud and development work. Rebuilt over the following decade into a team built around sustained client relationships rather than one-off projects — which is the same reason the current structure — design and development, AI, marketing, multimedia and brand — exists: brands don't have one-off problems, they have ongoing ones.
Leadership
B-BBEE Level 1
Marscelle Pillay
CEO
Owns the client relationship end to end — the brief that comes in, the team assigned to it, and whether the work still matches what was promised on delivery day.
Michaela Govender
Director: AI, Data Engineering, Analytics and Cloud Solutions
Runs the AI, data and cloud discipline — from the infrastructure a client's systems sit on to the voice agents and automation built on top of it.
Dustin Erasmus
Technical and Digital Platforms Director
Owns the technical build — the websites, platforms and integrations that everything else in a project has to work through.
Under that leadership sits a bench most agencies your size don't have.
You brief three people. Behind them sits specialist capacity built up over eighteen years: full-stack development, technical SEO, media planning and performance analytics, Google Ads/SEO/GEO/PPC, UI/UX and intranet experience design, motion and multimedia design, video and streaming production, social media strategy and community management, and dedicated production and digital-performance reporting. That's what building every discipline in one place actually looks like day to day.
