Anele Nzimande-Maphanga - Founder & CEO

Award-Winning PR Lead & Strategic

An award-winning PR manager.

I pivoted from Law to current affairs television producing, repurposing my analytical skills from law school to produce cutting-edge stories for TV.

After a stint as a content writer and strategist at a boutique agency, I set my sights on cracking it into communications in a "big corporate" and wooed the hiring managers at Procter & Gamble into giving me my big break.

I'm a self-starter with an unconventional resume and ready to make your brand come alive.

Strategic Experience & Impact

Strategic Experience & Impact

My experience cuts across corporate and internal communications and includes public relations and influencer marketing strategy and execution. I have conceptualised culture-shifting campaigns such as the Vaseline and Krispy Kreme "glazed and glowing" campaign, TRESemmé's hair care partnership with iconic South Africa fashion brand "MaXhosa" and have graced the Global Citizen stage in New York City as part of the Always campaign "blood sisters" which merged both a sales and corporate social investment strategy as part of P&G's philosophy to be both a "force for good, and force for growth."

I have a firm understanding of organic and earned influencer strategy and execution, and I work closely with Media leads and agencies to ensure paid media optimisation and reporting.
