@desireemakomamahowa
I turn media research, monitoring and social content into clear communication support.
What I'm looking for
I've monitored print, online, broadcast and social media coverage for automotive brands at QuickPic, researching journalists, competitors and industry developments while compiling coverage, trend and sentiment reports.
At All Things PR, I planned, created and scheduled social media content, supported digital communication campaigns and tracked audience engagement.
Through Thokoza Progressive Youth, I contributed to digital content management, public relations, marketing initiatives, event support and community engagement.
I'm completing an Advanced Diploma in Communication Management at the University of Johannesburg and am seeking opportunities across communications, PR, marketing, media and digital communication.
