Making mobile phones safe for kids


A journalist by training, I have more than 10 years experience in a variety of marketing roles spanning PR, communications, branding, social media and sales support. I love telling the story of interesting companies, and because I have spent the bulk of my career in the tech industry, I am adept at translating techno-geek speak into something interesting and accessible.

I have worked in Cape Town and London, dealing with businesses as far afield as Mumbai, Frankfurt, Sao Paulo and San Francisco, building brands in new territories. Back in South Africa I managed the marketing and communication activities for Clickatell, the mobile messaging provider, as it grew its Internet and enterprise sales activities around the world and moved its headquarters to Silicon Valley.

Now I head up marketing at Mobiflock, www.mobiflock.com, a child safety service for smartphones. In addition, I freelance under the Twokats Communications brand, www.twokats.com, offering PR, content creation and strategy services to a range of companies.

For fun, I bungle my way through the South African wine industry, looking for the most quaffable deals.
