I left FCB with the intention of gaining global experience and, after a much-needed sabbatical touring Europe, I was invited to join Proximity Düsseldorf and REDProximity London, both part of the BBDO Group, as CCO and Director.So here I am now in the beautiful city of Düsseldorf at this prestigious 140 -strong agency (and growing!) working with a diverse and talented group of people from all over the globe.We've been deep in pitch mode and some have already been won.The adventure has begun!

I joined FCB Joburg as Executive Creative Director. As the agency expanded, I was appointed Joint Chief Creative Officer and became a member of the Holding Group Exco. My role involved thought leadership and strategy, and I successfully led numerous pitches in addition to steering the creative process. Within four years of my appointment, the agency doubled its revenue, and we won numerous local and international awards. The Coca-Cola Company also recognised the creative excellence of the work that we produced during my tenure and invited us to become one of global 12 agencies to participate in all future global charters.

Working in close partnership with the CEO, I was instrumental in growing the agency by 60% and winning numerous creative awards – including the agency’s first Cannes Lions. Over and above mentoring creative directors and teams, I acted as the strategic driver for new business acquisition and guided clients in maximising their brand awareness.

During my term at Black River F.C. I had the privilege of working on some of SA’s top brands, including Nando’s, 1st For Women Insurance, Virgin Money Insurance, and Mini (BMW South Africa). I was responsible for much of the agency’s creative outputs, which involved mentoring creative teams and providing strategic guidance to clients to optimise brand awareness.

I started my career as an intern in 2001 and, within only four years, I was promoted to Creative Director, the youngest in South Africa. During my tenure, I oversaw the creative work for the agency’s largest account, Absa Bank – a member of the Barclays Group, which is the largest commercial bank in Africa. At the time, TJDR was ranked as the top creative agency in South Africa.
