About Trisha Pillay

I’m an award-winning journalist, content strategist, producer, and moderator with 14 years of experience across the media and marketing landscape. Over the years, I’ve worked across every stage of the production journey from news gathering, reporting, and newsroom editorial leadership to producing documentaries, political programming, entertainment shows, news bulletins, and multiple television and digital series. Producing is where my heart truly lies. I’ve also had the privilege of moderating panels and events on international platforms.My expertise spans content strategy, producing, long-form storytelling, multi-platform production, podcast hosting, and audience-focused media. I work closely with organisations to build meaningful content strategies that resonate with their target audiences and deliver real impact. At EM360Tech, I host a podcast series spotlighting forward-thinking leaders and emerging industry perspectives. As Head of Written Content at Follow Alice, I lead the development of travel, culture, and community-driven stories that connect local experiences with a global audience.I hold a degree in Journalism from the University of Johannesburg and an Honours degree in International Politics, along with certifications in digital marketing, content strategy, and SEO grounding my work in both strong editorial principles and modern content practices. Beyond this, I’m a speaker, children’s book contributor, and a passionate advocate for underrepresented voices. I firmly believe in the power of storytelling to connect people, spark conversation, and drive meaningful change. For me it will always be the “who” before the “what”.For any collaborations, or projects aligned with my work, feel free to get in touch directly.
