About us

Simple Serious Digital was founded by Sydney Kuvarega, whose journey into the digital world began in 2018 as a personal passion. With curiosity and a hands-on approach, he explored the realm of digital technologies, refining his expertise through experimentation and freelancing on leading global platforms. This early exposure enabled him to serve international clients and build a solid foundation in digital markerting services.

Recognizing the need for local impact, Sydney shifted his focus to offering the same services within his community. As demand grew, it became clear that scaling required building a skilled team. However, this journey uncovered a significant challenge: widespread digital illiteracy among youth and small to medium enterprises (SMEs). Many team members needed training to reach professional standards, and many SMEs lacked an understanding of the value and function of digital marketing and technology.

Motivated to bridge this gap, Sydney committed himself to empowering others. Today, as a certified Google Digital Skills Trainer and Consultant, he leads the Simple Serious Digital team in promoting digital literacy across Africa. Together, they are equipping youths, small to medium businesses (SMEs) and African Innovators with the essential digital skills needed to thrive in a fast-evolving digital economy while driving meaningful change in marginalized communities.
