Hello, I’m Sian
I’m an extremely dynamic, driven, hard-working and goal-orientated individual. I am a single mom, businesswoman, avid traveller and love the finer things in life. I’m a great communicator, am always enthusiastic and work well on a team. I’m always eager to learn and grow and do so quickly and efficiently.
I believe I would be an excellent addition to your team as I’m passionate about digital and social media marketing, as well as copywriting (well, all writing in general). I’m looking to join a company for the long run – one with a positive culture, that’s human-centric and makes daily work a pleasure.
I have clearly defined financial and career goals and will continue to work my way up to this by producing excellent work and continuing to learn.
I hope to work with passionate, like-minded individuals and grow strong, lasting brands that are differentiated from all the rest out there.

South Africa including Get It Joburg North, Best of Joburg and
Leisure Options. My work included fashion shoots and styling; food
reviews and styling; entertainment reviews; décor shoots and

Account Executive
I oversaw the brand strategy, client liaison, content creation
(predominantly copywriting) and planning for several of the agency’s
clients. I also oversaw the paid social media adverts’ implementation
and reporting. Foundational SEO implementation was also part of my
role and is something I would like to further expand my knowledge in.
Furthermore, I was responsible for social media influencer outreach
and relevant campaign management.
