I studied at the A.A.A School of Advertising from 2001- 2003, were I received a 3yr Diploma in Integrated Marketing Communication specialising in Account Management/ Client Services and a certificate in International Advertising. I started at Young & Rubicam in 2001 as a trainee AE intern after graduating at A.A.A, I transitioned from trainee AE to AE then got promoted to AM. After Y&R I went on to work at various advertising agencies where I gained a volume of experience working on different accounts, namely: British Airways, BA World Cargo, Bytes Document Solutions, Xerox, Brandhouse, SA Express, Ekurhuleni Municipality, IDC, Piatto, Kagiso (The RandShow), The National Kidney Foundation, SABC (News, Sport, Audience Services), Vodacom Retail, KFC, L’Oréal (Skincare, Haircare, Cosmetics), Maybelline, CNA Retail, MultichoiceGOtv, FNB Retail, Absa Retail & Absa CIB. I’m a highly motivated, enthusiastic and progress focused Account Director with a long-standing background in this industry. With a track record of initiative and dependability, I have devised strategic initiative which I believe will prove valuable to any organisation. Throughout the course of my career, I have perfected my Account Management and Communication abilities. I’m a capable and consistent problem-solver, skilled at prioritising and managing projects with proficiency. Within my role, I contributed towards building and fulfilling client’s communication strategy. I’m able to articulate my knowledge of Client’s Brand with the team by a form of a clear briefs and kick-starts that bring about teamwork, with my time management skills I’m also able to work effectively with the various teams and set goals by a form of creating effective timing plans that allow for comfortable ways of working within Traffic and the Creative team and in turn that allowed for client’s work to be delivered accurately and on time. Such collaborative engagements with my Creative team and as well as the various departments within the Agency, has in turn helped me build good and trusting relationships with my clients, as it has gotten the job done! I’m progressively minded and in-tune with new developments in my field. I have proven to be effective and collaborative with strong communication talents. I enjoy collective brainstorming sessions which all allow me to coordinate activities to achieve a common goal. I’m passionate about Client Services/account management and Advertising. I’ve been fascinated about this industry ever since I was young girl, when at the tender age of 6 years old my family and I were in an Old Mutual advert and since then that experience sparked the interest and curiosity in me. It’s that interest that saw me later in life enrolling at the AAA School of Advertising, and I have not looked back since.
