Danielle Hervey

Consultant and Writer in Ndlambe, Eastern Cape

I've been in brand advertising, event marketing for three decades, finally landing in social media. During that time, I've run my own social media activation business remotely for 18 years.

I currently look after client's social media pages totalling ½ a million fans, ranging from strategic direction, concept, scheduling, comprehensive paid ad management, community management and crisis comms.

I've worked across many local & global brands: Lux Hotels, Jo Malone, MAC Cosmetics, Estee Lauder, British American Tobacco, Linenhouse, Old Mutual, Piz Buin Sunscreen, Jack Daniels, Glenfiddich Whisky, Malfy Gin, Dr. Hauschka, Tullow Oil, Blanco Guest Farm, Tommee Tippee, The Village South Africa, Butler's Pizza and more.

My finest achievement has been getting my two children to say 'please' and 'thank you'. (with apologies to Tina Fey, who sports the same achievement )

In a brief sojourn as a chef, I once made dessert for Bill Bryson, nowadays it's just for my family.

That's my 38m #dreamalittledream artwork that I designed and built alongside my crew, Afrika Burn 2022-2023. Completely powered by UV, it self illuminates when darkness falls.

Now on permanent display at POD Karoo.
