I had many clients all over South Africa. I was then offered a great opportunity to work for a company called Campus Media, which belonged to the Primedia Group where I was able to grow and learn so much. I sold advertising space across many platforms - TV, Radio, Scrollers, Billboards and on the ground activations targeting university students across the country. We would also conceptualize various campaigns to target the students. I had many high profile clients such as McDonald's, Coke cola, SAB and many more. I wanted to travel a bit and experience different cultures, so I went on to gain my captains license and went to the Caribbean to work on yachts as well as use my sales experience to sell holiday packages.
