our Story



THE STORY BEHIND OUR NAME
UTAS LIVING STUDIO
The root acronym-turned-word, UTAS, is about Africa—Under the African Sun. When all parts of any project we undertake connect, we seek to engage the right audiences—those interested in investing and living under the beautiful African sun.
We work closely with high-end real estate players (agencies, realtors, brokers, developers, investors, interior designers, hotels, and resorts) to create highly desirable marketing assets. We create a compelling brand vision, brand identity, and we hack attention through creative and immersive social media content.
At the helm is brand strategist Zivanai, an unashamed believer, burgeoning entrepreneur, and creator with a deep love for his continent, beautiful spaces, good design, and marketing.
Working in lock-step with him is the studio's core staff and a vetted network of creative, project management, and technical specialists, bringing deep expertise and complementary styles, balancing creative vision and commercial results.
Fundamentally, the studio is the sum of its parts. Parts which help propel your own marketing machine.

substance
We strive to deliver substance and long-term value, even with a short-form content piece. We go beyond design or content, exploring deeper meaning. If we’re going to make something, why not make it meaningful?
core 003
Curiosity
Staying curious opens up possibilities. When we lead with curiosity, we can learn, understand more, and make a greater impact with our work.
core 004
People-first
Ironically listed last, but we're people-first. Yes, we're entrepreneurial, creative, persistent and tenacious, taking a businesslike approach to all that we do, but on top of all that we're people-first—the people on our team and the people we get to work with.
We believe you get what you put in, so we nourish relationships with the engaged, the good-hearted, and interested among us.
