      Yolandie Breytenbach joined Bletchley Park, just as it was relaunching from our previous agency, Traffic Integrated Marketing. She was key in the development of our new corporate identity and with her relentless energy and passion, was asked to head up our design team. Yolandie has a flair for bold, creative design, but this doesn't even begin to describe her repertoire. She's also proficient in Art Direction, photographic direction/composition and ideation. In my opinion, Yols is a valuable asset to any creative studio but what truly sets her apart, is her dedication to perfection. Her commitment to work and the agency; and her creative culture, which seems to flow through her veins. We'll miss you yols. And if we're lucky enough, maybe you'll cross our path again someday. Kelly John Putter, Creative Director, Bletchley Park

      ERROL DENMAN, Creative Director, Southworth/Denman:I have known Yolandie since 2007 when she come over from Germany to further her studies. As her Course Director at the time, I got to see her in several varied roles: art director, designer, group head, conceptualiser and even copywriter. She was exceptional and when I went back into industry I could not wait to employ her; still the best hiring decision I ever made. She‘s one of those people who makes being a Creative Director easy. She owns the job and the outcome. Her work is distinctive, thought-through and fresh. She‘s also an wonderful person with a very even temperament.
