5 minutes with Khosi Mzamo

Name: Khosi Mzamo

Job title: Junior Account Executive

First job in the industry: Marketing Intern

What is your area of expertise:

Social Media Marketing

What do you love most about your job?

Probably working with my colleagues, not only do they challenge me, but our interactions are insightful and inspiring. I look forward to collaborating with them every single day.

What inspires you when it comes to direct mail?

The amount of knowledge and thought that goes into producing quality mail. I had never realised just how complex it is.

What interests you the most about direct mail?

How much thought and intention goes behind driving a call to action.

Is there anything about you that you think people would be surprised to know?

I have a keen interest in astrology and any time I meet people for the first time, I am always INTERNALLY trying to guess their zodiac placements.

Favourite ad/marketing campaign? 

Anything South African Nando’s related. They are funny but also politically relevant, thought provoking too.

If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be and why?

Singapore, they have great socio-economic systems in place. Also, I just recently watched a TikTok and series on what it’s like to live in Singapore. I absolutely loved what I saw.

If you could visit any fictional place, where would you go and why?

Probably Narnia, specifically Aslan’s land. The idea seems peaceful, but I don’t think they would allow me to come back to earth.

What was your alternative career choice (backup plan) before you chose this one?

Lawyer but my personality was not suited for it at all.
