Summary
The purpose of this document is to give an overview of my experience as a Social
Media & Campaign Manager during my 4+ year career and also to provide evidence
of the brands I have worked on during that time.
__________________________________________________________
I believe that my traceable Social Media experience, and ambitious drive will make
for a competitive candidate, suitable for any Social Media & Campaign Manager role.
I have worked on alcohol, FMCG, power tools, socially responsible, higher education
and pharmaceutical brands from a freelance and professional capacity in the past 4
years. My duties have been focused on content strategy & development, online
reputation management, digital campaign management, analytical reporting, paid
media spending and customer conversion across Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and
Google. I am self-driven, calm, a pro-active team player & leader.
I love Marketing as a discipline, from a digital and traditional perspective but my
focus has always been to expand that knowledge in order to be able to meet
organisational objectives through well-formulated strategy. I have a Marketing
Diploma and just recently completed my Marketing B-Tech.
Thank you for taking the time to look at my professional profile, I can be reached on
the details on my CV for further communication and a link to my professional profile

Work Experience
Social Media Management at J. Walter Thompson Cape Town – 15th
May
2017 – 28th
February 2019
I came to J. Walter Thompson on the 15th
of May 2017 to work on FMCG,
pharmaceuticals & alcohol accounts. My focus was on content strategy &
management across multiple campaigns throughout the calendar year.
I’ve had the opportunity to work with big media budgets to ensure we meet brand
objectives and KPI’s. Mostly exceeding expectations, this has been a very
experiential responsibility.
My most notable experiences were being agile while single-handedly working on all
the J. Walter Thompson brands across Johannesburg & Cape Town in a fast-paced
agency, this involved taking responsibility for digital media budgets, content strategy
and travelling to cover events in my capacity as a Social Media & Campaign
Manager.

Head of Social Media Management at 8 Brand Cape Town – 1st

2017 – 14th
April 2017
I signed a month and a half contract to revive and strategize on the company’s Social
Media accounts, including working on a few alcohol brands. My main duties were to
develop content strategy and plans that are aligned with current client objectives and
pitching to potential clients too.
At this agency, I delved a bit deeper into copywriting print ads, radio ads and TVC
scripts for the South African Post Office, which aligned my love for content marketing.
I also had the opportunity to develop content to win over some major brands from our
