Dylan Joseph

A technically grounded Digital Marketer (BCom Information Systems) currently advancing strategic expertise through an Advanced Diploma at Red & Yellow Creative School of Business (Year 1 of 2). I leverage a unique background in international education and freelance multimedia production in South Korea to bring a global perspective to high-impact content creation. My experience as an educator in South Korea has refined my ability to communicate complex strategies and adapt quickly to fast-paced, cross cultural environments.

I leverage years of experience as a freelance photographer. My work for events in Seoul has proven my ability to capture and edit visuals. I am currently seeking to apply my skills in SEO, social media strategy, and visual production within the Cape Town marketing landscape.
