The AskMario Story
At AskMario, we believe e-commerce has the power to change everything for a business — whether you're just starting out or you're already a household name. What began 14 years ago as Mario's personal passion project has grown into a full-service Shopify agency trusted by some of South Africa's biggest and boldest brands.

James
Project Lead
We've had the privilege of working with incredible clients over the years — from KitchenAid SA, Momentum Multiply, and Under Armour to homegrown legends like GalXBoy, Freedom of Movement, and Soviet. Even the NBA (via BAL) has trusted us to make e-commerce slam dunks.
But here's what makes us different
We scale the small guys too.
AskMario was built with entrepreneurs in mind. That's why we launched our digital marketing department — to give smaller businesses affordable access to the same quality services as big brands.
We connect the dots.
We don't just run ads or build stores in isolation. We know how your Shopify setup impacts conversions, and how your traffic impacts sales. That's our superpower: bringing it all together.
We keep it human.
Behind every store we build and every campaign we run, there's a team who cares. Your wins are our wins.
Some of Our Numbers
We might be a small team, but we do massive things. Whether you're a start-up with big dreams, a medium-sized brand ready to scale or an enterprise-level business that needs Shopify expertise, AskMario is here to get you where you want to go.
