Rejané was an extremely valuable member of my team. She took initiative, asked questions, learned the ropes and before long, I was relying on her ability to get things done. She is fearless, enthusiastic, and full of integrity.

I’ve worked in the international non-profit sector, public radio and commercial TV. For a little over twelve years, I even ran a digital media production agency of my own! My life’s mission is to be the pen (or microphone 🙂) through which disenfranchised folks may speak their truths – in their own languages and on their own terms.

Rejané’s contribution to our programming has been invaluable on a human, editorial and creative level. She is an ardent humanist, who is hard-working, balanced, innovative, kind and yet quietly resolute.

FEATURE DOCUMENTARY: The Politics of Women’s Health in Southern Africa. I developed the entire podcast campaign, from the audio identity to scripting, interview gathering and production. The client came to me with an idea, and I executed – that’s my strength!

Opting for audio snippets embedded in .mp4 format for my Instagram post was a deliberate choice. This approach enabled me to distill information into easily digestible, bite-sized content. The format strikes a balance, long enough to captivate viewers’ attention yet short enough to leave them eager for more.

While online videos make up over 85% of consumer internet traffic, their production demands considerable time. In contrast, producers can craft audio snippets and podcasts in a fraction of that time and at half the cost. Building a campaign around this medium proves to be significantly more efficient and cost-effective.

Framing social media communications as a story helps build an emotional connection, dramatically resulting in audience retention. By communicating via storytelling, we can also fuse our messages with entertaining and informative content, making it far more likely that audiences will spend their time consuming it.
