Bio
Kavesan Pillay
I first met Robyn back in 2017 when she hired me as a freelance voice over artist to be the voice of the Builders Warehouse video series, "Love Your Home". I was immediately impressed by Robyn's professionalism and friendly demeanour which made working with her such a pleasure. She is not just an astute project manager, but also an impressive content strategist and creator - evident from the many remarkable campaigns and side projects I've seen her explore since her time at Narrative Media. Always on the pulse of things and pushing the norm, Robyn is an insightful and innovative thinker that ANYONE would be lucky to have join their team.

I had the pleasure of working with Robyn for more than 6 years. Robyn’s a true content marketing guru. She has a real touch with ‘telling stories’ and creating content that keep the audience engaged! She was instrumental in setting-up the Sanlam Reality early content strategies and help to drive implementation and improvements. She has a passion for clients, true dedication and a never-say-die attitude. Robyn also turned her passion for photography and videos into a real art and has the ability to offer a holistic solution for clients!

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Robyn, first as a colleague, and later as a business partner in Narrative. What I respect most about Robyn is her ability to quickly understand a client’s need, aligned to their target market wants, and deliver an innovative communication approach that resonates with prospective and existing clients to deliver a measurable ROI on comms spend. Consequently, Robyn has led both the strategic and creative content and digital thinking on some of South Africa’s leading brands, namely: Toyota, Sanlam, Builders, RCS and Makro to name a few. And consequently the list of industry and pier creative and effectiveness awards is extensive. Robyn has an incredible aptitude for learning new tactics and techniques and is inclined to find teamsters following her as a result. This, coupled with the fact that she is a lateral thinker, helps to ensure that the team she leads, and the brand she promotes, are leaders in their market segment. Robyn is a phenomenal strategist and creative and would add value to any brand’s strategic and creative process. Invite her in and prepare yourself to be impressed.
