Goran Giertz – CEO

I’ve been an entrepreneur, and a marketer, from day one. From print and point-of-sale to giant signs and even an ad agency, I’ve explored a bit of everything. But I always have this constant drive to learn the next big thing.

Then, in 1997, I built my first website, and it felt like finding my true calling. Online marketing? Now that was exciting. Suddenly, those other industries felt a little old. Loving everything new, and the huge potential of this great technology, I dedicated myself to it, learning everything I could, testing ideas, and dreaming of new ones.

That first website was just the beginning. I launched Epower, a custom product site CMS in 2000, (at the time, WordPress hadn’t become available yet), and I haven’t stopped building tools to empower businesses online ever since.

More than 20 years later, I’m still pushing the boundaries of data reporting. Still building websites, fine-tuning their marketing, and creating innovative solutions like Call Tracking, RetailX, and MeetPAT.

Over the years, I’ve been lucky to work with hundreds of inspiring people; some running their own digital agencies, others blossoming in the advertising and business world. Seeing them thrive, knowing I played a part in their success, that’s one of the things that keeps me going.

Being one of only 11 independent South African agencies with both Google Premier Partner and a Meta Business Partner status is an honour, but the real win is our dedication to continuous learning, constant exploration, and genuine love for everything online marketing.

That’s what drives Net Age’s success. And with our amazing team behind us, and partnerships with clients and team members that stretch into decades in some cases, the journey is far from over.
