Gerrard Foster

Welcome. This space is an opportunity for me to share my experiences, the skills I’ve developed and the network I’ve established. I sincerely believe one’s value lies in the network; I am because they are.

I entered this world in 1980 and, from that first day, the journey has been filled with colour, experience and opportunity. I established my first business at the age of 5 when my mom gave me a box of bubblegum and my grandmother taught me a great lesson in choice. - instant gratification or long term benefit. And, out of the 200 pieces, I ate 3 and sold the other 197.

Since then, I've gone on to work in advertising, marketing, film, television, radio, print and digital and social media. I continue to explore and learn through various entities and projects, including but not limited to:

• Project Fable - Content Design & Development through Project Fable,
• SMC Group - Entertainment & Sports Rights Procurement & Management
• Basiq Blaque - Eventing and Conferencing through Basiq Blaq
• New African Movement - building continental cohesion leveraging entertainment and media through The New African Movement.
• What You Need Consulting – strategic brand and entertainment conceptualisation and development | Brand Communications Strategy & Activation Management
• Writing - I've contributed to various publications on entertainment and social issues including Tribute, Bl!nk, Mail & Gaurdian, The Star, Busines Day & Destiny Man. I've also written concepts, strategies & scripts for radio and television.
