“Working on the PayShap playbook and launch campaign was an intense high-pressure exercise with really tight deadlines. This was a game changer and first for South Africa. Working with iCombine and in particular Danielle Shein who headed up the exercise made it all possible. With an extreme focus on details and tight control of deliverables and timelines Danielle and her iCombine team not only project managed an extremely complex project she really “got” the complexities of the township kasi economy and the nature of the cash informal economy that PayShap was to address to a large part. The combination of an understanding of this informal economy and detailed project management was the key factor in a successful launch (not to mention the long weekends and late nights as deadlines approached). I am pretty confident to say that this project would not have been delivered in time and as well without Danielle and iCombine working with Kasinomics.”

“Ama-KonekXin had the absolute pleasure of working with the iCombine Team on a rapid payments programme, PayShap, developed as part of the SA Reserve Banks vision to simplify and make real time payments affordable and efficient.

As the lead agency on an extremely complex and industry first, Danielle and her Team were tasked with managing a 360 solution across 7 agencies and key banking institutions in South Africa. This SA first included in-depth market research which formed the basis of the Industry Playbook and followed on with the roll out across OOH, Community Radio, Social Media, F2F Activations and a Website all supported by PR.

Danielle has an incredible ability to “combine” and pull a team together, extracting nothing but the best in short periods of time and under enormous pressure. iCombine managed to pull off in 4 months what other agencies said they could only think about in 12! All while ensuring minute attention to detail, continuous sense checking re: output and end deliverables coupled with her ability to divide and conquer world class commercials from a cast in stone budget.

Despite the ongoing go live date changes Danielle showed agility and the ability to adapt to meet with superior end-results. She continued to keep the Team focused and motivated to excel throughout a process that had no previous best-case practices or benchmarks.

An incredible leader and an inspiration to work with!

I would go into battle with Danielle and the iCombine Team any and every day!”

I look forward to partnering with iCombine on numerous brand launches in the future.

We recently had the pleasure of working with iCombine on a highly complex payment application debugging project for a new payment terminal.
