As we dive into February, the month of love, we couldn't resist sharing the love with you! Join us in the excitement as we introduce our Top 5 Influential Couples that have us head over heels right now. From hilarious dynamic duos, to household power couples, these South African influencers are making waves and dominating campaigns.

In no particular order, here are our 5 South African influencer couples that we’re absolutely loving right now:

1. Babs and Zola

Meet Babs and Zola, one of our favourite household couples hailing from Cape Town, South Africa. Individually influential, together unstoppable, this power couple has been rocking the influencer scene for over five years and we love working with them. 

They’ve worked with us to create a long-standing partnership with Hisense, not just as influencers but as storytellers for the brand too. Beyond Hisense, they’ve also worked with us on our Watch Republic campaign, where they each got to showcase their uniqueness and individual style by choosing and working on a watch brand of their choice.

So, why do we love working with them? In short - their content is top-notch, delivering quality that resonates with their audience, and their transparent approach to life makes them a joy to collaborate with. Oh, and did we mention Zola is a lawyer, and Babs owns her own loungewear company? Que BNM Loungewear! Talk about a power couple!

Zola: “Always a pleasure working with PHI, arguably the best Agency I’ve worked with the past two years.  Campaign managers are all generally helpful and always available to assist clarify issues. The turn around time for making payment to Influencers after completion of campaigns is by far the best compared to any agency I have ever worked with. Very professional.” 

2. Amber and Nick

Introducing comedy power couple Amber and Nick, originating from Johannesburg but currently residing in Cape Town, who effortlessly inject humour and relatability into every campaign they work on with us.

Having met in 2011 through social touch rugby, their journey into influencer stardom started during the 2020 lockdown when TikTok took off in South Africa. Beyond the laughter, their story took a poignant turn in August 2020 when Amber was diagnosed with breast cancer. During that time period, her content shifted towards resilience as she turned her journey into a source of strength and inspiration, creating a supportive community where everyone was welcome - not, of course, without the support of her partner Nick. 

Since overcoming that personal battle and beating cancer, Amber and Nick’s content journey has evolved from TikTok silliness to viral couples comedy reels, showcasing their unique dynamic. From their collaboration on our relatable Pick 'n Pay "Let's Cook” campaign, to their unforgettable Aperol Spritz content, their storytelling prowess continues to captivate. Their real and raw connection with their audience makes every project with this duo a truly exciting and rewarding experience.  

Amber: “A team of incredibly talented individuals who treat content creators like family & provide guidance & assistance every step of the way during campaigns! A pleasure & privilege to work with PHI again!!” 

3. Lucciano and Rue

Lucciano and Rue, our aesthetic and fashion-forward couple living in Cape Town, always bring a touch of magic to anything they work on. Having met through Facebook, their fairy-tale-like story began with long-distance sparks between Knysna and Worcester. Capturing content through photos initially, they transitioned into creating reels and video content, with one post going viral and sparking the demand for more, more, more!

Having collaborated on a few of our campaigns like Pick 'n Pay's "Let's Cook" and Aperol Spritz, they infuse creativity with professionalism; consistently delivering content on-time and always going the extra mile to ensure their content exceeds expectations. Rue's background as a photography student proves to add an artistic flair to their creative process, making for work that could be seen in an editorial magazine. Their shared creativity and individual superpowers shine through in every campaign they work on with us, creating compelling, authentic content that resonates with their audience.

Lucciano: “I thoroughly enjoyed working with People Have Influence, there was no bad communication and all the instructions were crystal clear.” 

4. Courtnaé and Quintessa

Enter another household power couple based in Johannesburg, Courtnaé and Quintessa.  Courtnaé, a renowned choreographer and producer has found her match in love with her partner Quintessa, a beauty industry maven with her own lash company. Together, they craft a perfect blend of originality and mastery, elevating the art of content creation to new heights.

Their enduring legacy with P.H.I traces back to a time before the company's inception, proving our mutual connection rooted in authenticity and excellent execution. A testament to this enduring partnership is reflected in their standout collaborations - Courtnaé’s exhilarating journey to Tomorrowland with Vuse and Quintessa's visually stunning content for Aperol Spritz both captivated audiences and left an indelible mark on the world of influencer marketing.

Beyond their digital presence, Courtnaé is currently on an exciting trajectory as she competes for a spot in the 2024 Olympics for breakdancing. There's a reason why our partnership with this multi-talented couple has stood the test of time, and we wouldn't have it any other way!

Courtnaé: “Regardless of the type of brand or campaign, team PHI has always ensured the most streamlined way of working while leaving room for creatives to be authentically themselves. The level of support is amazing and sets you up for nothing but success.”

5. Rego and Dise

In the heart of Johannesburg, meet our final dynamic couple among the five featured, Rego and Dise. Their journey, evolving from high school friends to inseparable partners, lays the groundwork for innovative collaboration in the realm of influencer content creation.

Partnering with us, they've contributed to campaigns for inDriver, Simply Colour, and notably Hisense, where they crafted TV-worthy content. Their dedication to delivering quality content before deadlines, complemented by exceptional communication skills, positions them as a dream team for any influencer marketing campaign. Rekindling their friendship in May 2011 and elevating it to a romantic relationship by October of the same year, they've now shared over 12 years together. From documenting their engagement to creating engaging couple challenges during the 2020 pandemic, they've curated an authentic content journey that we've been delighted to be a part of.

Rego and Dise: "It is always a pleasure working with an agency that values not only the client, but it’s influencers equally. Thank you PHI.” 

If you’re a content creator - single or as a couple - and you’re not on our radar, we’d love to hear from you!
If you’re a brand needing some exposure and creative campaigns - whether you’re looking for single’s, couple’s or big family’s - let’s chat and make magic together! Don’t forget, it costs nothing to enquire ;)
