Founder Profile

Cobus van der Westhuizen

Co-founder and CEO of Juicy Designs, focused on digital strategy, Google Ads, SEO and lead generation for South African businesses.

Cobus van der Westhuizen co-founded Juicy Designs in 2015 and serves as CEO. He leads the agency's digital strategy, performance marketing and lead generation work for clients across South Africa.

Cobus is Google Ads certified and has spent more than a decade building and scaling paid search, paid social and SEO campaigns for businesses in automotive, insurance, retail and entertainment. His focus is simple: turn marketing spend into measurable revenue. Across the accounts he manages, Juicy Designs delivers an average return on ad spend of roughly 4.8x, close to double the industry benchmark.

Before founding Juicy Designs, Cobus worked across web development and digital advertising, which shaped the agency's full-funnel approach. Rather than treating design, development and marketing as separate jobs, he built Juicy Designs to handle the whole journey, from the first ad impression through to the website that converts the click into an enquiry.

Day to day, Cobus works directly with clients on Google Ads structure, conversion tracking, SEO roadmaps and reporting. He believes in founder-led delivery, plain reporting that owners can actually read, and no long-term contracts. If the work performs, clients stay because they want to, not because they are locked in.

Based in Pretoria, Cobus and the Juicy Designs team serve clients in Gauteng and nationally. To discuss strategy for your business, get in touch.
