I am an advertising professional & digital marketing entrepreneur. 

I am fortunate to have been in the forefront of pioneering the influencer, digital entrepreneurship in South Africa, with a background in blogging, YouTube content creation and running a youth led advertising and influencer agencies.

Experience

I started my blogging business in Soweto in 2011 at Soweto Magazine as a founding partner and writer.That inspired the development of Book of Swag, a youth culture blog and creative agency that was quickly incubated at Ireland-Davenport in Illovo, Johannesburg, in 2014. This is where we were introduced to clients such Vodacom, South African Tourism,  Isuzu to mention a few. 

We learned to pitch on a number of other businesses which we subsequently won and serviced as a supplier from within the business. 

2016 we pitched on Standard Bank and worked on their first ever influencer campaign  alongside the then VML now VMLY&R. We also were awarded the business for our groundbreaking #WhatsYourNext

I lead the youth portfolio that brought to life a number of exciting campaigns and executions for the bank. 

2019 I went on my own and started an influencer agent called Trending Topix Agency (PTY) Ltd. I have since been working on rebranding the Momentum social media trajectory, I have been responsible for the creative output of Momentum since 2019 to date. I am now running another creative agency called The Social Shop Agency, which is Momentum's influencer agency. 

As an SMME entrepreneur, I'm keen to get back to an environment where I don't have to all the business admin myself and I focus on what I'm good which delivering exciting & engaging work. Some of the clients I have since worked are: 

 

  • The Motsepe group  - AFI 
  • Nedbank - M&G 200 
  • Chibuku 
  • Limpopo tourism 
  • Castle-lite 
  • Dickies 
  • Metropolitan 
  • Standard Bank 
  • Isuzu
  • Vodacom 
  • SA Toursim
