  Conduit Studios

  • Proprietor and Creative Director

    • Jan 2003 - Present
    • Cape Town, Johannesburg, Prague

    From a bedroom rockers outfit I have steered Conduit Studios from a fledgling startup to be one of South Africa's most well respected creative media production companies.

On a day to basis I work in two broad spheres relating to the proprietorship of a young and proactive media production company.I very directly head up the companies Creative Direction. In a comprehensive context this incorporates: Initial consideration of broad brand strategy for a given project, generation and application of visual treatments and concepts that tie in with the strategy and the roll out of associated media across an array of channels such as TVC, AV and Online through to print media and OOH usages. This of course applies to Conduit as a brand too as we have always paid attention to building Conduits image in a manner that reflects a design driven creative supplier who's clients are at the heart of our endeavors.I am also centrally involved in the companies Business Management. Here I manage Conduit's business conceptually and administratively across a broad range of requirements from the sourcing and hiring of relevant HR both in the logistics and creative spheres, identifying and structuring systems for marketing and new business acquisition. I also focus on systems development and implementation across both logistical and creative requirements.
