About Ask Ashe

About Ask Ashe
Brand Consultant + Editor

I’m Nicola Ashe - ad exec turned brand consultant, who quit the rat race in 2014, so I could finally breathe again. I live in Durban, South Africa with my husband and 4 rescue dogs and run Ask Ashe as a brand consulting business, helping people create and curate their own brands. But it's also my little space on the web, where I've shared design, decor, food, travel or lifestyle snippets since 2009.

  • I don’t talk about work often on here but just had to give my team a shout out for their epic effort this week and in the lead up to crazy Black Friday.
Some small businesses made some crazy sales today due to them, not one site we manage went down (over 100 of them) or lagged (not even for a few minutes) and every one of the team did it with a smile (ok some was pharmaceutically enhanced) - wouldn’t want to work with any other crew than @tdmc.sa 👊
It’s not over yet but that was one helluva day x
  • Thank you for all the orders 🖤🖤🖤
Only 6 green cover planners left and less than 20 marble wireless chargers - S W I P E to see these - marble finish with LED indicator and either gold/rose gold/black rim including snake cable - check my story highlights for details.

  • Meet Georgios, the new owner of @themorningtrade which also has a new home at @alliancecafedbn in Morningside - popped in to stock up on fresh bread from @the_glenwood_bakery along with a delicious coffee from @dailydosage.dbn. There was a delicious array of sweet and savoury treats, fresh produce and refreshing @lemonlicioussouthafrica, as well as wine by the glass and carafe. Don’t miss the prawn and cheese toasties or the prawn spring rolls 😋

Gave the new @mary_and_joe_ restaurant in Umhlanga Village a try and was well impressed - delicious food, excellent staff and beautiful decor!
