Pillar 02 · Execution

Performance Media & E-Commerce Scaling

eCom Stores, DTC Brands & High-Ticket Services

We don't run campaigns based on agency textbooks. Founder Klaus Lampen has built, operated, and scaled his own e-commerce brands (Buyondo, IncrediblyDivine), run ads, CRO, and email for other local and international e-commerce businesses, and generated leads via Meta ads for businesses across banking, immigration, travel, leisure, SaaS, and coaching. We design full-funnel media engines structured strictly around cash flow, contribution margins, and long-term customer value.

Founder & Lead Strategist

Klaus Lampen

An operator who risks his own capital—not an account manager.

Klaus built JNK Digital to give businesses real, battle-tested growth strategies. His digital marketing career started in 2005. Over two decades, he has managed SEO for major European portals (FAZ, t-online), directed web agency teams, launched major sports and travel media hubs, co-founded South Africa’s first print-on-demand platform, built 7-figure e-commerce brands, run ads, CRO, and email for other local and international e-commerce businesses, and generated leads via Meta ads for businesses across banking, immigration, travel, leisure, SaaS, and coaching.

He has personally spent over $500,000 of his own capital on Meta ads. He understands cash flow, inventory margins, acquisition costs, and real unit economics.

Through a strategic partnership with Digital Rockstars Media (founded by Judith Lampen), JNK Digital gives clients a distinct advantage: elite technical media buying paired with direct access to Cape Town’s premier family media network. Whether you are scaling a direct-to-consumer store or building a venue booking pipeline, you get direct access to 20 years of real execution.

Managed SEO for FAZ and t-online, then ran web agency teams at CapeCoders.

How We Can Help

Solutions built around your business type

Four ways we plug into a business, depending on what you're trying to grow.

01

For Play Parks, Restaurants & Family Venues

Stop relying on temporary influencer hype. We build permanent customer acquisition engines that drive weekend footfall and bookings—for play parks and studios, restaurants and wine farms, and other family experience venues.

02

For Schools, Daycares & Pre-schools

Fill your open-day pipelines and enrollment tours with high-intent local parents using targeted search and retargeting workflows—whether you're a private school, daycare, or pre-school.

03

For Family Service Providers

From paediatric and therapy practices to birth support, after-school activities, party services, and family photography, we build lead-generation campaigns that put your service in front of the parents actively searching for it.

04

For E-Commerce & DTC Brands

Scale past plateaued ROAS with an agency built by an operator who manages his own ad spend. We optimize Shopify checkouts and build retention flows.

Why Work With Me

An operator, not an agency retainer

Cape Town has plenty of marketers who talk in vanity metrics. Our founder has spent his own money on ads, run his own e-commerce stores, and built the local audience we now offer clients access to.

What you actually get

Direct access to the person running your campaigns—plus the CapeTownWithKids distribution channel.

  • Meta & Google ads run by the person spending the budget
  • Landing pages, CRO, and real measurement
  • Direct distribution via CapeTownWithKids (210k+ reach)
  • Hands-on e-commerce and high-ticket funnel builds

What this isn’t

Clarity on fit—so you know what you’re paying for.

  • A big-agency account manager relaying your brief to a junior
  • Vanity social posts with no attribution
  • One-size templates with no local audience behind them
