I live in Centurion, work in Sandton and play in my kitchen.
I used to be a well-known entertainment journalist and columnist.
Now I run my own communications and marketing agency.
I have had quite an interesting ride so far. I have worked for mainstream publications; was part of the first team that launched Forbes Africa magazine; and went on to do communications and PR functions for VIPs and large organisations.
My kids, literature, movies, Champagne, cooking and spending time with my friends talking trash.
I love having the opportunity to contribute positively to a client’s business.
What I love even more is making their dreams come true and then seeing the appreciation in their faces. I love that the value that we add is something that is actually tangible.6. Describe your average workday, if such a thing exists.
Once or twice a week, I make sure to spend the entire day at my own office, so that my team mates don’t forget what I look like!
A sharp creative mind. A healthy and updated black book of contacts, a resourceful “can-do” spirit and a healthy appetite for hard work.
I am completely inspired by Sylvester Chauke of DNA Brand Architects.
I want to be like him in a few years.
The demon of clients who have big demands on a small budget terrorises us all at one point or another!
We are servicing the airports of the country, among our other clients, as well as working on a big national campaign that will make a very positive impact on society.
At night, in the silence before I get into bed.
I could be a comedian if I really wanted to. I am smart and very funny!
Having been a journalist for 12 years, all I really knew was how to use Word and Safari.
Millions of my kids’ selfies. There’s nothing I can do to stop them using my phone to take selfies of themselves.
Focus on corporate communications instead of lifestyle and celebrity PR. Corporate comms is where you can find sustainability. Celebrities don’t have budget, and they have big followership numbers, which means they can do most of their own PR and communications.Simple as that.
