Siyabonga Nkomo

I am a recent graduate in Public Relation who has the ability to develop, demonstrate and execute communication strategies by utilizing PR standards. With my 1 year and 3 months experience at DUT Co-operative Education I was able to grasp the practicalities of PR, which horned my skills in media liaison, content creation & distribution, cross-sector collaboration and event logistics. As my foundation in public relations strategy and a growing ability to manage campaigns and  stakeholder partnership grew stronger I am eager to continue building my career in the PR Industry by bringing value to teams focused on impactful campaigns, brand development by expanding my experience in corporate and community focused communication environment.
