    Over the years, I have worked under the banner of JT Communications, where I managed multiple projects centered on digital communications, social media management, and event promotion. My role involved account management, content creation, and scheduling posts to ensure consistent visibility and engagement for high-profile events and campaigns.

    Through JT Comms, I had the opportunity to collaborate with a range of notable organizations, including:

    Standard Bank Joy of Jazz Amplifying one of Africa’s premier jazz festivals through engaging social media storytelling and live event coverage.

    MINDS Institute Showcasing leadership and capacity-building programs through impactful digital content.

    City of Johannesburg Promoting community-centered initiatives and cultural events to a diverse audience.

    Department of Arts and Culture Driving awareness and participation in arts and cultural programs across South Africa.

    In addition to these, I supported various other organizations and events, consistently ensuring that campaigns were delivered on time, aligned with brand voice, and optimized for audience engagement.

    This experience has equipped me with strong skills in multi-account management, strategic content planning, and digital campaign execution allowing me to contribute meaningfully to brands seeking visibility and growth.
