I am a specialist Content Writer, Publicist & Media Relations Consultant with experience in film, television, entertainment, sport, travel, FMCG and corporate & crisis communications.

My television experience encompasses publicity for reality shows, dramas, actuality shows, game shows and comedy shows for the MultiChoice/DStv channels in South Africa and across the continent, as well as a channel on South Africa’s state broadcaster, SABC3. Some of the productions I have worked on as a Publicist include nine seasons of Big Brother Africa; four seasons of Survivor South Africa; Deal or No Deal; Nokia Face of Africa model search; Carte Blanche; Project Fame; Idols; High Rollers and The Bachelor South Africa, amongst others. I am currently producing written content for all of M-Net’s local and international productions, for distribution to media.

In film, I have worked as Unit Publicist across the Spud trilogy of films (John Cleese & Troye Sivan), SAFTA-winning film Kanarie and Die Seemeeu (both directed by Christiaan Olwagen) as well as both Mad Buddies and Schuks, Your Country Needs You, starring Leon Schuster, for The Walt Disney Company. I’ve also rolled out publicity on international films including Academy Award winners La La Land (Emma Stone & Ryan Gosling); A Monster Calls (Liam Neeson & Felicity Jones); The Divergent Series (Shailene Woodley & Theo James); Deepwater Horizon (Mark Wahlberg & Kurt Russell); Florence Foster Jenkins (Meryl Streep & Hugh Grant) and Hacksaw Ridge (Andrew Garfield & Teresa Palmer).

I write much of the internal communications content for MultiChoice South Africa’s Corporate Affairs team. I also write content for Razor Media (a division of M&C Saatchi Abel) across brands like BDO, Audi, Investec, Anglo American, Tiger Brands and Dimension Data.

My writing and photography have appeared in most national newspapers and a host of magazines & online spaces. I am a regular contributor to various Sunday Times and Business Day supplements, amongst others.

As a publicist, I have worked with Absa on their Klein Karoo Nasionale Kunstefees (Arts Festival) activations for almost a decade; LATAM Airlines, Airports Company South Africa; Legacy Lifestyle; Nokia; Cadbury/Kraft Foods/Mondelēz International; KFC; South African Breweries; SASOL and Microsoft South Africa. I have also worked with a number of South Africa’s top athletes and coaches, across rugby, cricket and football.

I have managed the content creation for social media accounts for Taj Hotel Cape Town; World Tourism Market Africa and International Luxury Travel Market Africa and created written online content for TransUnion; a host of cruise lines including Seabourn, Royal Caribbean and Oceania, skincare brand BABOR and retail hubs including Clearwater Mall and Benmore Gardens Shopping Centre. I have also written effective opinion pieces; newsletter content; website copy; press releases and media statements for B2B and B2C brands, across a variety of platforms.

My varied experience has given me the chance to work with radio stations, newspapers and magazines around the country, across a variety of genres. I enjoy working on driven brands and specialize in finding synergies between different clients to maximize exposure, across the board as well as distilling complex expert-provided information into accessible stories and features.
