About

I have close to 8 years of experience in advertising and marketing. Employment highlights include working at eCommerce trailblazer, Superbalist, and one of Africa’s leading digital agencies, Digitas Liquorice. I’ve created content for clients under the Distell, Pioneer, and Tiger umbrellas, with Amarula, Scottish Leader and Crosse & Blackwell being particularly memorable.
