Riassunto

An experienced Johannesburg-based account management professional, who has worked extensively in some of South Africa’s leading advertising agencies. These include: Ogilvy SA, FCB JHB and M&C Saatchi Abel. Has worked on many award-winning campaigns, and has a breadth of experience that spans across multiple mediums.

I have also spent time in the NPO sector, at Livity Africa, overseeing their Creative Democracy unit. The developed campaigns aimed to encourage young people in Africa to create their own radical change. This was done through creating platforms, campaigns, and training driven by young people.

My experience spans across campaign/program management, marketing & advertising management, advocacy development and business development.

Livity Africa was a youth agency that developed platforms, campaigns, ideas and social change...all created by young people, driven by young people.

They worked with young people everyday in content creation, media, marketing, digital and business entrepreneurial opportunities. They create their own platforms - like livemag.co.za - where these skills and ideas come to life for a national audience of young people.

They also delivered to clients and funders, including Google, Red Bull, British Council, Rockefeller Foundation and Nike Foundation among others who get uniquely connected with a pool of young talent, energy and ideas.

The organisation has since rebranded and renamed to Digify Africa.
