Nqobile Simelane

I am a very driven Marketing and Communications Specialist looking to join a dynamic team within a medium to large enterprise. I have a firm understanding on the process to drive integrated consumer-centric brand activation through superior execution and creative message optimization using performance analytics & data, across relevant touchpoints in order to create the right cultural, social and emotional experience. My inherent desire to succeed in this regard make me an ideal candidate for your organization.

My passion and dynamism keep me motivated from day-to-day whilst on this journey to achieve all my dreams. My experience in delivering break-through communications spans across a wide range of diverse categories, from Retail to Pharmaceutical to, Finance to FMCG, Auto Makers; Entertainment and Political Marketing which has equipped me with the ability to manage the full sales-cycle including; prospecting, fact finding, presenting, negotiating and closing key agency and brand accounts. Having experience from both the Client and Agency side of the industry has instilled a deep respect for the challenge of working hard just to retain market share and has built, in me, a healthy focus on the constant drive to deliver integrated planning and communications as a business lever of growth.

In addition to a BA Marketing Communication degree obtained from the University of Johannesburg, I have acquired 16 years of professional experience, with 10 of them spent in a senior management position.
