We are niche agency with a strong A-team and slick processes.

In April 2014, Emma and Dominique moved into a shared workspace behind a striking yellow door on Wale Street in Cape Town, South Africa.

It was a classic case of being in the right place at the right time – with a similar outlook on life, shared values and entrepreneurial mindsets, establishing Yellow Door Collective seemed like a natural next step.

Over the last 10 years, there have been many iterations of the team, the logo and quite a few different offices. As of the end of 2023, Emma has stepped out of the business to focus on other ventures and Dom continues to take care of clients along with an extended collective of world class talent. We are now fully remote and take advantage of the flexibility and space that allows us. 

Our mission is for clients to feel understood, inspired and confident that they are in good hands. Each one has a dedicated point of contact within our team, as well as a strategist, copywriter, editor or designer working their magic behind the scenes.

OUR VALUES

Integrity

We strive to do the right thing, whether or not anyone is watching. Integrity encompasses sound principles, honesty and trust.

Authenticity

Authenticity means being genuine and transparent. We are a team of real, honest people. We are trustworthy and we don’t just talk the talk, we walk the walk.

Consistency

Consistency inspires confidence – whether it’s in people, an approach or work done. Our team, partners and clients know they can depend on us.

Can-do

We look for simple, creative and cost- effective solutions to each scenario, and always proceed with a ‘can do’ attitude – asking ‘how can we help’.

Curiosity

We go beyond the what, when and how, to make sure we understand the why. This discovery process is what sets us apart.

Adaptability

We love a challenge and have an ability to blend seamlessly into any environment, without losing sight of who we are and what we stand for.
