Led the EXP-Digi team in conceptualizing Live + Digital Campaigns. In 2011, my company, Spoken Ink, partnered with EXP to create EXP Digi; A Live + Digital agency that served to provide clients with concepts for digital activations. This period saw my team and I work in Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya, Tanzania and South Africa as we sought usher in digital interactions (mostly mobile) to live activations. Highlights included creating a digital campaign to educate girls about the importance of Family Planning (with USAID and EXP Social) as well as the launch of a rapid survey digital platform called AnswerThis.

Spoken Ink was started in 2005 when I had just finished high school. Initially we printed a nationally distributed youth magazine called WarCry. This attracted renowned advertisers as well as a diverse following of students, parents, teachers and athletes. In 2008/9 Spoken In launched the first mobile driving school in South Africa. In partnership with McCarthy Motors (sponsors) - we distributed made-for-mobile educational content to nearly 200 000 learner-drivers. This became the 2nd most consumed mobile content on Mxit - SAs premier mobile platform - for that year.This led to rinsing and repeating the model for various social needs. Step 1 - We would find a need felt by people aged 18 - 35. Step 2 - We would meet that need with branded made-for-mobile content. As a result we worked with brands like Proctor and Gamble, Cell C, Foschini, and others to address the youth market in a way that met business objectives. In 2010 - Spoken Ink created the Moombah brand; led by myself and Chad Cunningham. The brand used mobile to meet social needs while directly addressing brand objectives.In 2011, Spoken Ink partnered with EXP to create EXP Digi. A Live + Digital agency that served to provide clients with concepts for digital activations.

Started this magazine with a few friends in high school. We eventually got to 10 000 copies with national distribution, great advertisers and a bit of a cult following! Great fun, great learning experience.
