Finn Offerman
@finnofferman
Strategic brand communicator specializing in social strategy and luxury real estate marketing.
What I'm looking for
I am a strategic brand communicator with hands-on experience in social strategy, content creation, and luxury real estate marketing. I graduated with distinction in Strategic Brand Communication from VEGA College Cape Town and have applied my skills across agency and client-side roles.
At Rogerwilco Digital Marketing Agency I developed and executed social media strategies, content calendars, competitor analyses, and engagement campaigns for B2B and B2C clients, including major South African brands. I collaborate closely with creative teams to align messaging and monitor campaign performance to provide actionable insights that boosted engagement.
In luxury real estate I secured multiple long- and medium-term leases in Cape Town, developed creative photo and video marketing campaigns, and managed client communications and negotiations to deliver personalised service. I also gained practical agency experience via the Vega Brand Challenge, leading research, concept development, and professional pitch delivery.
Beyond marketing and real estate, I model for high-profile brands, have hospitality and broadcast workshadow experience, and hold certifications in AI in Marketing and digital skills. I bring adaptability, creative problem-solving, and strong communication to every team I join.
