TL|DR VERSION


Digital communication strategy.

The full Monty


I’m a strategic, digitally-minded marketer based in Cape Town who splits my time between freelance consulting and coaching.

I have significant digital and social media marketing experience and have designed, coordinated and executed large-scale global campaigns for NGO's that run across 7 continents simultaneously, to local campaigns for corporates, government departments and a range of sport, lifestyle and outdoor brands.

I've been instrumental in the development and growth of multiple brands, and through my experience, have gained an in-depth understanding of how to build communities that surround and support brands.

Through my work, I’ve obtained extensive experience in events media and management; and have been involved in the successful execution of over 80 events, ranging from one-day to four-day sports events. My strength lies in maximising media coverage, sponsorship engagement and user-experience design for events.

My portfolio of digital marketing work includes: digital and social media strategy and execution, campaign design and execution, paid advertising, strategy, email marketing, landing page design, copy writing and graphic design.

As a passionate educator, I’ve been teaching digital communication and social media for over 10 years. I've developed Africa’s first graduate digital quotient course which launched at Stellenbosch Business School in 2015. I taught at South Africa's top business schools, universities and agencies. Go to my teaching page to see my reviews.


 
 

 

The best social media is where it happens. That's probably not at your desk.
