Danielle Hervey
Writer, Consultant, and Social Media Manager in Kenton-on-Sea, South Africa
I've been in advertising & marketing for three decades. I've run my own social media activation business from my home-based office for 18 years. I currently look after client's social media pages totalling ¾ of a million fans, ranging from strategic direction, concept, scheduling, comprehensive digital ad management, community management and PR 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, Glenfiddich Whisky, Malfy Gin, Aviation Gin, Dr. Hauschka, Pradiance Skincare, Tullow Oil, 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 amazing crew, for Afrika Burn 2022-2023. Completely powered by sunlight, it self illuminates when darkness falls.
