Riaan Koster
Lizette has been a real team player to all her colleagues at Etiket and Sumof21. Lizette is also a leader and a collaborator, a serious thinker and a craftsman, a mentor and a friend. Smart. Sharp. Direct. That’s Lizette's conversational style. Maybe not always what you think you want to hear, but something you know you don’t want to forget. Because it’s likely to be a crucial part of solving whatever advertising or marketing puzzle you have before you. She works very hard and delivers the best quality on every project. Her commitment to each project on FNB has been remarkable. Lizette has the ability to light up a room with her laugh, she brings joy to everyone. Lizette is an asset to any business with her years of experience as Creative Director, she takes the time to understand clients brands and she is does her own research as she always ensures that when she delivers on a client project that she understands the product and the clients business problem to focus on the the benefits which comes thru on her style of Design. And anyone who chooses to give Lizette a seat at their creative table, as a guest or at the head of that table can count on a feast of creative chops, knowledge, experience, flavor and flair.

Lizette is a multi-faceted creative with impressive team management skills. Her starting point for any element or campaign is Human Impact. She is highly conscious of the human element in her work and it shows in its authenticity and effectivity. She conceptualises across the integrated campaign spectrum skillfully and effortlessly. She is comfortable with all media and executes equally well in design and art direction as she does in broadcast media. Lizette is also a competent team leader and brings a cool head to pressurised situations and deadlines. A real asset to both her team and her agency.
