I would like to acknowledge all the participants that helped make this what it is today. Starting off with thanking Zakhona Zama Sithole for  taking the time to model for this portfolio and being such a great friend. I would also like to give credit to the photographer, Jenny in the

studio, for taking such beautiful shots. I must thank Emile as well, for assisting me in executing the concept for the portfolio.

 

In this portfolio I have featured some of the work that I have done in the process of my career development at Vega School of Brand Leadership, of the work showcased I could not have made them what they are without the help of my group members and friends. It has been an amazing journey of growth and memories made.

 

I would love to begin by thanking Prasanthan Nagan and Shaheed Roberts for helping me with Sunlight brief, where analysed and made recommendations for the brand’s marketing metrics. They were supportive and proactive throughout the process, showing me the real value of collaboration. I would also like to thank Litha Vimbi, who is the Client Lead at MindShare South Africa for Land Rover and Jaguar, for making

time and providing us with rich information, which informed our strategic recommendations.

​

It was an interesting experience working with Kgolagano Mathlaga and Thuso Makitla, on the MindShare South Africa brief for Organisational Studies, providing a fresh perspective and mining through the bulk of information we had. I would like to also thank Phillicia Moodley, the Head of Talent at MindShare South Africa, for taking time out of her busy schedule to ensure that we had the relevant information to develop our strategic recommendations.

​

For my Creative Development brief, Body Un/comfortable, I would like to thank the lovely Naledi Xoko for the beautiful photos taken, one of which I have included into this portfolio.

​

In the Business Communications and Digital Media brief, Beauty Ideals, I want to thank the cinematographer Zolani Bokwa and visual director Noncebo Bokwa for making the video look amazing and teaching me a few tricks in directing videos. I would also like to acknowledge Zoya Nkosi; Lee Mavuso; Yonela Gwijana; Nompumelelo Galela; Tsepiso Nqoko and others for participating in the interview and sharing their

stories with us. Without this team, I would not have been able to realise my vision.

​

Last, but not least I want to thank my brand challenge team. After five long weeks of hard work; deadlines; conflict resolutions and pizzas shared we finally made it to the end of concluding our complete strategy and concept executions. I walked away having learnt so much more about the process, myself and group dynamics, all while having fun. My group was made up by Adeline Monsengo; Cari Lowenthal; Dominique van der Walt; James Taylor; Raeesa Ladha; Salathiso Siwisa and Teneal Bird.

​

Thanks guys, you are all awesome.
