* SUMMARY OF MARKETING CAREER:
- From 2001 – 2005, I worked in various roles as Brand Marketer and Copywriter at forwardSLASH, an outsource internet marketing agency in Cape Town, South Africa, specializing in brand communication and brand design [print and online advertising]. These brands collective annual gross revenue exceeded US$400-million.
- 80% of all clients were based in the USA and Canada (the other 20% the UK and rest of the world), which meant that the brand message had to be consistently styled and delivered in American English.
- During 2006, I changed jobs and worked as an Account and Project Manager at Stonewall Digital Agency in Cape Town. I liaised with clients and project managed the digital marketing requirements of major corporate clients that ranged from financial services brands [Investec Investment Bank, Old Mutual Insurance Group], wine & spirits brands [Jack Daniels Whisky, Miller Genuine Draft and Graham Beck Ultra Premium Wines], an energy drink brand [Red Bull], automobile brands [Audi & VW] and the official SA Tourism brand.
