It's been a YEAR! But one thing we can call out, for SURE, is that we've seen some things...and stuff 😅🧐

South African entrepreneurs and entrepreneurship need a WAKE-UP CALL! Integrity over self-service guys, every time.

If we're only in it for ourselves, we'll inevitably end up alone - ok? Ok.

Buh-BYE 2025 - thanks for all the lessons ###

Our biggest projects are not the gifts from the marketing Gods that our friends and spouses (and sometimes customers) think; the hours of tedious relationship management, content outputs and strategically determined dissemination plans are 10-fold when you're doing the BIG work 😎

Here's what we offer our clients:

- PR: press releases, media relations, reputation management, copywriting, event concepts, and project management (our clients have been on eNCA, SABC News, 702 Talk Radio, 938 Radio (DJ Fresh's new station) and in The Star, Sunday Times, Cape Argus, Entrepreneur Magazine and more;
- Social Media: content strategy, development, creation, production, management and ads operations across all META suites and LinkedIn (we don't touch TikTok, because we ACTUALLY understand Gen-Z's)
- Design, Animation, and Motion Graphics, including machine learning and generative Ai tools (think scripts, voice overs, mini-YouTube series)
- Brand Strategy & Implementation: we build your brand with you from scratch to bring your business to life

and...coming soon.....

- Audio recording & Podcast production for Entrepreneurs
- In-person Masterclasses on how-to-market your business in the age of Ai

‼️ UPDATE ‼️ 👇🏼❣️

I’ve been back-and-forth-ing about converting The Communication Shop page into a blog page for months. Maybe three-ish years even 😅 ➡️ and here’s why;

I get loads of requests to follow my personal private page, and unfortunately it’s not a space I’m all too comfortable having anyone but nearest and dearest viewing. I talk loads of politics and parenthood etc, but from a vulnerable, non-career perspective. It’s for the people who get the nuance and therefore don’t feel triggered to dive into my DMs.

I’ve recently let some boundaries slide there and I can already see that although some people would love insight into me as a person, my private account isn’t the space for that.

The other side of the coin 🪙 is that, post-babies, I have had a massive existential shift around The Comm Shop, and the content we’ve put out. Honestly? I’m no longer here to try and inspire anyone to jump into entrepreneurship or spiritual alignment; this seems kind of….arrogant? Presumptive? The ambition of only someone who has no idea what it truly meant to be fully responsible for another human life?

So we’re not doing that anymore. Instead I’ll be sharing glimpses of my life and the lunacy of a woman pursuing greatness in a world that gets super pi**ed off when you do that 😂

Let’s see how it goes?

Picture: my set up for the morning, multiple diaries, coffee, outfit of the day and both bags I lug around with me (mostly for the diaries 😅).

Let’s chat in the comments? ###

Just going to leave this here in solidarity with all the working Moms who have a thousand content strategies in mind, and zero time to execute because we’re already doing absolutely EVERYTHING 😅❤️

BRB to post all the things for you guys, as soon as my toddlers stop climbing me like a jungle gym 247 🤣🙃✨

More of these? Let me know ⬇️

Life & Business Update:

First, “Hi” to every single person who’s chosen to continue to be a part of .shop community ✨ man, you guys have been patient with me 😂😅

👇🏼
As most of you know, I had my second baby in Jan this year, and two under two plus a business plus being one half of a marriage involving two entrepreneurs has been straight up HARD. But it’s also borne all sorts of fruit.

The god’s honest truth is that I experienced the most intense post partum anxiety with both of my 4th trimesters (and then some), and it’s been a very real challenge to overcome…but overcome I did. We did. All of us (my husband, girls, dogs…all).

And of course, the light at the end of the tunnel has been…another business 😅. Perhaps this is the insanity of the Entrepreneur, perhaps it’s the secret to life’s successes - continue to create and all of life’s wonders reveal themselves.

So, as we continue to service entrepreneurs and help them with their branding and marketing and communications, so too do I now own a beauty salon (which I like to call a Nail and Skincare bar) in Parkhurst, which you can go and follow (and come and visit for your treatments) 👇🏼



And you can continue to follow us here, where I’ll be sharing some of the very cool branding projects I worked on this year as well (no, of course I haven’t actually been on maternity leave).

I guess for now, that’s “all” 😂✨

Happy Mother’s Day, to all the Mamas here ❤️

Motherhood isn’t just a natural breeze into having children. It’s a relentless dedication to stepping up to your responsibilities, because they now entail the lives and dreams of actual people. Little, innocent, perfect people.

May you know how irreplaceable and valuable and exceptional you are ❤️
