Connor and Matthew are two Durbanites who grew up together and developed a brotherly bond that evolved into a business partnership. After seeing too many businesses spend on marketing with little return, they started Fetchwave, a small, hands-on agency focused on work that drives revenue and long-term growth. Using their complementary skills, they help brands where they can while also building their own companies, with a focus on clear strategy, honest execution, and measurable results for South African brands.
