Agent 08

[ HOW WE WORK ]
"You're not handing your budget to a bot. You're working with me — and I happen to have AI agents that let me do in 48 hours what a traditional agency does in three weeks."
— Johnny Nel, Founder
CAPABILITIES







01
I build a campaign memory bank for every client I work with — every ad that worked, every audience segment that converted, every message that landed. The AI agents surface those insights automatically, so when we launch something new, we're starting from everything we've already learned about your market. Not guessing. Building.

[ WHY CHOOSE PRIXGIG ]
This system has been refined internally and with our existing clients. We've built and operationalized it to work for us. Now we're bringing this model to other SA businesses so they can benefit from what we've learned.

Built by me, for the SA mid-market. I designed this infrastructure to run campaigns the way I'd want them run on my own businesses — fast, transparent, and always improving.
From brief to live campaign in 48 hours.
Performance reviewed and adjusted every 24 hours.
I build the qualification flow. AI agents run it 24/7 so every lead gets a response in under 60 seconds.
I set up and oversee your GoHighLevel pipeline. AI agents keep it clean, updated, and moving.
I analyse every campaign cycle and feed the insights back in. As we learn your market together, the cost per qualified lead drops.
[ HOW WE WORK TOGETHER ]
We don't take clients. We select Growth Ventures. Five AI-powered marketing sprints per quarter. That's it.
Not because we can't handle more — because doing fewer things at the highest possible standard is what produces results worth talking about. If you're reading this, you've already cleared the first filter: you're a service-based business that needs qualified leads, not a product to push.
You complete the application form. We review every submission personally within 24 hours and notify you whether you progress to the next stage.
We build and launch a fully integrated AI-powered campaign. You cover the ad spend directly to the platforms — not to us. We take zero management fee during the sprint. On Day 22, we don’t hand you a report. We sit with you, review the data, and make a clear call together based on three possible outcomes. You’ll know exactly where you stand and what happens next — regardless of the result.
If the numbers work, we move to a Full Growth Venture retainer + ad spend (month to month). We then explore which additional platforms, CRM automation with AI agents, and authority-building infrastructure could work best for your business.
[ ENTRY REQUIREMENTS ]
We move fast. AI-powered campaigns don't wait for admin to catch up. Four things must already be in place on your side:
Minimum R10,000 per month in ad spend going directly to Meta or Google — not to us. If you’re not yet willing to commit a real budget to test your market, the sprint is not the right next step.
We need to be added to your Facebook Business Manager before the sprint launches. We provide a screen share video showing exactly how to do this — but your tech person, VA, or freelancer handles the access setup. No access, no sprint.
Your offer must already work — meaning you have sold it, delivered it, and have clients who can speak to the results. We are not here to test whether your offer is viable. We are here to scale what already works. Your sales process also needs to be ready: when a qualified lead lands in your WhatsApp, you need to know what to do with them.
You need existing brand imagery and a willingness to shoot short video content when we brief you after week one. We handle AI-generated creative for week one angle testing. From week two, this becomes a collaboration — 48-hour content turnaround is required.
Important:This is not for everyone. We do not work with e-commerce stores, dropshipping operations, Takealot sellers, Amazon sellers, Shopify stores, or any product-based retail business. We do not work with new businesses — you need to have been trading for at least two years with a proven offer and existing clients. We do not work with owners who are not willing to communicate during normal business hours, move fast, or supply content when briefed. We exclusively work with service businesses — practices, firms, clinics, agencies, consultancies, brokerages, and any business that grows by connecting with people, qualifying them, and closing them.
[ THE CORE OFFER ]
We build, launch, and optimise a fully integrated AI-powered paid media campaign designed to fill your pipeline with Marketing Qualified Leads — people who have raised their hand, meet your criteria, and are ready to be spoken to.
This is not a marketing audit. This is not a strategy deck. This is a live, running campaign with real money behind it, managed by a team of AI agents directed personally.
Deep market intelligence. We identify your audience, build 15 ad angles, and run them live at R100/day each. We use our own AI-generated creative assets for this phase. You focus on preparing your own content based on the angles we identify.
Non-performers are cut daily. Budget consolidates behind what’s working. Your content gets integrated. WhatsApp qualification sequences go live. The pipeline starts moving.
Remaining budget focused entirely on qualified lead generation. AI agents handle qualification and CRM routing in real time. By Day 21, we’ll have a clear picture of what this market’s potential could be at scale.
[ THE INVESTMENT ]
AD SPEND
R10,000
minimum
Goes directly to the ad platforms. Not to us. This covers week one angle testing (±R1,500), consolidation in week two (±R3,500), and the MQL push in week three. We tell you exactly where every rand goes.
ACTION DEPOSIT
R5,000–R7,500
confirmed on selection call
This is not a setup fee. This is not a management charge. This deposit secures one of five available sprint spots in the quarter.
We run five sprints per quarter — not because we can't handle more, but because the standard of what we deliver requires it. Every application is reviewed personally. Every spot is selected. This deposit signals that both sides are serious.
What happens to the deposit on Day 22 depends on the outcome — see the three outcomes below.
Deposit rolls forward:If you progress to the Full Growth Venture on Day 22, your entire Action Deposit is deducted from your first month's retainer. You only invest the difference.
[ THE GUARANTEE ]
The sprint works when both sides show up. We deliver the research, the strategy, the campaign build, and the daily optimisation. You deliver the content we brief you on after week one, keep your accounts accessible, and communicate during normal business hours.
On Day 22, one of three outcomes applies:
OUTCOME 1
Great fit, great results.
The sprint worked. Leads are there. The market has spoken. Your Action Deposit rolls directly into Month 1 of the Full Growth Venture. You pay nothing additional to continue.
OUTCOME 2
Results came in. Not the right fit.
The market responded but for any reason — timing, strategy, operational readiness — this isn't the right Growth Venture for us. Your deposit comes back in full. You keep the leads, the Market Intelligence Report, the Content Calendar, and everything we built. Clean exit.
OUTCOME 3
Market didn't respond.
The data shows this isn't the right moment. Your deposit comes back in full. You walk away with a complete diagnosis of exactly what needs to change before paid media will work for your business.
The deposit is not refunded if you go dark during the sprint, fail to supply content after the week one brief, or withhold Business Manager access. We cannot fairly judge a campaign we were not able to fully execute. This condition is made clear before the sprint begins — not buried in fine print.
The goal of this sprint is not to promise a specific number of leads. Markets are seasonal. Audiences shift. What we guarantee is that after 21 days, you will know definitively whether paid media can produce qualified leads for your business — and exactly what it costs to acquire them.
[ THE BONUS STACK ]
What you decide on Day 22 is up to you. These are yours forever.
Before we spend a rand on ads, we map your market in detail — who your best prospects are, what they respond to, what angles your competitors are running, and where the gaps are. This becomes a fully documented report that belongs to you permanently.
We design the exact quiz logic, survey questions, and lead form structure that qualifies leads directly inside Meta before they ever reach your sales team. You receive a plug-and-play blueprint your tech team can implement.
Built directly from your market intelligence data — not a generic template. Ninety days of specific content topics, formats, and posting guidance tailored to your industry and audience.
Total bonus value: R32,000 — included in the sprint, yours to keep forever.
These values reflect what we would charge if you asked us to build each of these out for you as a standalone project.
[ DAY 22 ]
On Day 22, I sit down with the data and make a call. If your market is producing, your leads are converting, and I can see a clear path to scaling your pipeline — I'll present the Full Growth Venture. If I can't see that path yet, I'll tell you what needs to change first. Either way, you leave Day 22 knowing exactly where you stand and what happens next.
RETAINER + AD SPEND
Discussed on Day 22
tailored to your results
After 21 days of real data, we know exactly what's working. We re-strategise together and present a retainer and ad spend plan built around your specific results, goals, and budget.
DEPOSIT ROLLS IN
100%

Your full Action Deposit is deducted from your first month's retainer — you only invest the difference.

[ THE SELECTION PROCESS ]
We don't run a first-come-first-served model. We run a selection process — because putting the wrong business into a sprint wastes both our time and their money.
You complete the application form. It takes five minutes. We review every submission personally within 24 hours and notify you whether you progress to the next stage.
If your application is strong, you’re invited to a personal meeting with me. This is not a sales call. This is a mutual assessment — we’re deciding whether your business is the right fit, and you’re deciding whether you’re ready to commit.
From the pool of qualified candidates, we select the five businesses that give us the strongest signal of market opportunity and owner readiness. If you’re selected, you receive the deposit invoice and onboarding instructions.
The application is free. Your time costs nothing to apply. But we will be direct about fit — and if you're not ready, we'll tell you that clearly rather than take your money anyway.
We don't send you a PDF full of impressions and reach. Every report starts with one number: cost-per-qualified-lead. Then pipeline value. Then what the next 30 days should look like based on what we've learned.
We review every campaign action and report it back to you. Every bid adjustment, creative swap, and lead qualification event is logged — and every Monday morning we walk you through exactly what happened, what changed, and why.

HOW WE WORK TOGETHER
I'm Johnny Nel. I run every campaign personally — with a team of AI agents handling the execution so we move faster and cost less than any traditional agency. Three ways to engage, depending on where you are.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Everything you need to know about working with us, from pricing and process to ownership and AI oversight.
The Action Deposit (R5,000–R7,500) secures one of five available sprint spots in the quarter. It is not a setup fee and it does not go to the ad platforms — those costs are separate. We run five sprints per quarter because that is the number we can personally oversee at the standard this model requires. The deposit signals mutual seriousness: you are committing to showing up, and we are committing to investing 21 days of real work into your business. The exact amount — R5,000 or R7,500 — is confirmed on the selection call based on how much infrastructure needs to be built before the sprint can launch.
Your Action Deposit is refunded in full on Day 22 if the sprint did not produce a viable qualified lead pipeline — minus bank processing fees only. The refund is conditional on you fulfilling your obligations during the sprint: supplying content within 48 hours of the week one brief, keeping Business Manager access open, and communicating during normal business hours. If you go dark or cannot supply content, the refund condition falls away — because we cannot fairly judge a campaign we were not able to fully execute. Ad spend goes directly to the platforms and is not refundable once the ads are live.
Yes — and this distinction matters. I (Johnny Nel) personally run every campaign. I set the strategy, define every parameter, review performance every single day, and make all judgment calls. The AI agents handle execution: creative variations, copy generation, bid adjustments, lead qualification, and CRM routing. Think of it as a Formula 1 car — the most sophisticated technology underneath, but a driver making every strategic decision. You get both. You pay for one.
We work exclusively with South African service businesses — practices, firms, clinics, agencies, consultancies, brokerages, and any business that grows by connecting with people, qualifying them, and closing them. We do not work with e-commerce stores, dropshipping operations, Takealot or Amazon sellers, Shopify stores, or product-based retail businesses of any kind. We also do not work with new businesses — your offer must be proven, meaning you have existing clients and results you can speak to.
Three structural differences. First — we take zero management fee during the sprint. Traditional agencies get paid before they prove anything. We prove it first. Second — you work directly with me, not a junior account team assigned after the pitch. Third — AI agents handle the execution that agencies charge senior rates for, which means we move faster and cost less. The 21-Day Sprint is not a strategy presentation. It is a live campaign with real money behind it, managed daily, with a clear outcome on Day 22.
On Day 22 one of three things happens. If the sprint worked and we both see a clear path to scaling — your Action Deposit rolls into Month 1 of the Full Growth Venture and we build from there. If the results came in but for any reason this isn’t the right fit — your deposit is refunded in full and you keep everything we built. If the market didn’t respond — your deposit is refunded in full and you walk away with a complete diagnosis of what needs to change first. In every outcome, you either move forward with your deposit credited or you leave with your deposit back.
The minimum ad spend is R10,000 per month, going directly to Meta or Google — not to us. This covers week one angle testing, consolidation in week two, and the qualified lead push in week three. We tell you exactly where every rand goes. There is also an Action Deposit of R5,000–R7,500 to secure your sprint spot. Both are clearly explained before you commit to anything.
We run campaigns primarily on Meta (Facebook and Instagram) and Google. WhatsApp is integrated into every campaign from day one — click-to-WhatsApp ads are central to our lead qualification approach. During the sprint, we select the platform or platforms best suited to your audience and goals based on the week one market intelligence research.
Every lead that clicks your ad enters a WhatsApp conversation immediately. AI agents run automated qualification sequences — asking the right questions, scoring the lead against your ideal client criteria, and routing only qualified prospects to your sales team. 96% of SA internet users are on WhatsApp. Messages are read within 5 minutes and responded to within 60 seconds on average. This is not a nice-to-have — it is where your market lives, and it is built into every campaign from day one.
Yes — 100%. Your ad accounts, Business Manager, pixel data, creative assets, audience data, and lead lists all belong to you. We operate inside your accounts, not ours. If we ever part ways, everything stays with you. No lock-in. No hostage data. The CRM (GoHighLevel) is also included for the life of the engagement — if you leave, you take your data with you.
The 21-day clock starts the moment your onboarding is complete — not when you sign up. Onboarding requires three things: your completed onboarding form, Business Manager access granted by your tech person, and your onboarding call completed with a confirmed launch date. We provide a screen share video to guide your tech person through the access setup. The faster you move through onboarding, the sooner the sprint begins — and the sooner you have data.
The 21-Day Sprint is structured as a standalone test — it does not require you to fire anyone or change anything about your current setup. We can run on a separate channel or audience segment so there is no overlap. If our results outperform, you will have the data to make an informed decision. If they do not, you have lost nothing but a small test budget and gained a complete market intelligence report you can use with your existing team.
