I am a 29 year old highly motivated and personable Zambian who has travelled to many countries but I've lived in China, the United Kingdom, India and Zambia. I have 9 years of formal work experience in Sales; Marketing; Project/Talent/Event/Social Media Management. Most recently, I was the Marketing & Brand Activation Executive at Java Foods (producers of eeZee Instant Noodles) but I decided to leave Java Foods to set up and fully launch Urban Rotation, my own Marketing Firm that I’ve been running since 2007. Urban Rotation has given me the opportunity to do some consulting where I have managed and overseen projects from concept to completion. Though small it has given me great, varied and valuable experience which has made me a "Jack of all trades, master of S.O.M.E."
I am a creative, resourceful, confident and driven person with exceptional interpersonal, pro-active leadership and management skills. I am very computer literate, pay attention to detail, keep time and have excellent verbal as well as written communication skills. I am also extremely imaginative, creatively curious and have a passion for big ideas. I can be the creative lead working with designers, artists, copywriters, photographers, sales teams and marketers to create a vision for pretty much anything, but I also have a head for business. I can plan and oversee a project, give guidance to the people that I work with and when I stamp my approval on something I stand by it but I do remain open to suggestions to make the final work better.
I believe in youth empowerment and I’m always looking out for or conceptualizing projects that benefit all people involved and the community. For example, ZY which stands for Zambian Youth looks at our youth and encourages them to have a different outlook on life and to do something for themselves through the #ZYStandUp movement and the #DoWhatYouCan campaign; the #YourVoteCounts/Matters campaign which aims to create awareness for Voter Registration and the environmentally conscious #MakeZambiaClean campaign using the 3R's - Reduce, Re-Use, and Recycle.
yoUR-SMS is an online SMS portal. Through this SMS portal I shall buy wholesale SMS' and then on-sell the SMS in bulk to clients by creating SMS interfaces and separate SMS portals for them which will enable them to send bulk SMS' online and on any internet accessible device. I shall be targeting schools, colleges and universities to begin with, but I plan to expand to government institutions, political parties and private companies which would find this service beneficial as they send reminder correspondence to their clients and/or employees quite frequently.
