Digital communications and brand strategy professional based in Gaborone, Botswana. Digital Strategy and Media Lead at Sturgeon Digital, with a portfolio spanning paid media, content production, campaign strategy, and stakeholder communications across corporate, public sector, and development clients.

Eight years
of deliberate
practice

I work at the intersection of strategy, storytelling, and performance. My practice covers the full campaign lifecycle, from initial brief to paid media management and performance reporting, for brands including SPAR Botswana, Absa Bank Botswana, the EU Delegation to Botswana, and the Botswana Digital and Innovation Hub.

I am known for bringing analytical rigour to creative work. Whether I am building a content strategy from scratch, managing a Google App campaign at a $0.02 CPC, or self-producing food Reels on a personal phone to prove a concept before a budget exists, the standard I hold myself to is the same.

My platforms include Meta Ads Manager, Google Ads, LinkedIn Campaign Manager, Premiere Pro, CapCut, and the full Google Workspace stack. I am fluent in English and Setswana.

Before a video budget existed, independently conceived, filmed, and edited a series of food and lifestyle Reels using SPAR products purchased personally. Shot entirely on a personal mobile phone and edited in Premiere Pro and CapCut. This initiative directly led to formal video investment being adopted as a core campaign pillar in both 2024 and 2025.

  • All 12 Reels self-shot, self-edited, and personally resourced — no production budget
  • "No peeling! No cutting!" — 19,543 views, 88.7M watch-time seconds, 32,741 reach
  • "Ga se sepe fela" — 38,454 views, 240M watch-time seconds, 32,822 reach
  • Directly contributed to the 227% watch time growth achieved year-on-year between 2024 and 2025
