I have a passion for working with words and turning writing nightmares into easy to read understandable articles. While managing the publicity and media relations at a large corporation for many years, I discovered the great need for cutting through confused literature and turning messages into clear, correct and attractive content. This need encouraged me to use my talent and offer a service that finds the right tone and words to make you look good. Your image is important, you need to get your message right the first time, let me help you! From different angles, I am comfortable working on various subjects. I specialise in editing, writing, re-writing and proof-reading media releases, booklets, biographies, letters, newsletter, reports and stories about people, programmes, projects and events. I thrive on populating social networks with relevant images and content. I have excellent relationships with print, digital, radio and television media. I managed the publicity for international award-winning programmes; Shift, Skeem Saam, iSpani, 90 Plein Street, Each One Teach One, One Day Leader, Raise Your Hand, It’s for Life, Khululeka, Lucky, Soul Buddyz, Takalani Sesame, Take 5, Tsha Tsha, Yizo Yizo and many others.
