Show profile Hide profileI have extensive experience in communications and media, and have worked across a number of areas within the sector, including a daily national newspaper, heading up one of South Africa's top magazine brands, woman & home, and most recently in a public relations role at an award-winning agency.
With a proven track record in communication excellence, I have led teams to produce award-wining content, and successfully managed media brands across different platforms (print, digital and eventing). One of my greatest abilities lies in being able to gather information, then produce fitting content that could appeal to diverse audiences - with an understanding of how different platforms (digital, social media, print) each require their own unique approach.
I have excellent written and oral skills and can comfortably produce anything from a feature or a press release, to a strategic report, and I'm skilled in giving presentations and speaking at events. Working on woman & home - a top-end international licensee magazine - I attended many premier launches in SA and abroad, interviewed business leaders, VIPs and celebrities, and hosted high-level colleagues from the UK on many occasions, all boosting my diplomatic and inter-personal skills.
I am well-versed in managing budgets, setting strategies and working across departments and am comfortable meeting with clients on deal negotiations, helping to set up client campaigns (print and digital) and working on brand launches and events.
Finally, my career in media means I've learnt to thrive in fast-paced, high-pressure environments, and that I have superb time management and organizational skills, honed by working to tight deadlines.
