Ask Spillly, with 3 L’s

In the seventeen years that I owned and ran a successful food manufacturing & distribution business, I was exposed to every aspect of business, from sales management & marketing, recruitment, procurement, finance, distribution and the legalities of running a business. Even though the business was sound and well respected I was bored to tears & the biggest distraction over the last few years of my involvement was social media and its benefits. I positioned myself and my personal brand, Spillly, as one of intelligent, dirty humour with a creative flair for photography & public speaking.

After stepping away from the food business I saw huge holes in small internet start up business’ that lacked business skills on the most basic level. My business acumen was needed in a sphere that I enjoyed playing in and new relationships developed. My preferences now cover:

• Managing short term corporate events on social media platforms and changing perceptions of brands over the medium.
• High level business strategy and short term management consulting specifically in the production, distribution and retail-sales sectors.
• Social media community & online reputation management for SME’s
• Social media training & set up for SME’s
• Live media campaign planning and activation management
• Public speaking on topics ranging from “the family business in SA,” to “Social media & its discontents”
• Online content creation & conversation starting
• Drinking lots of good coffee with awesome people and being a social misfit on Twitter.

I am operationally very strong and enjoy partnering with digital media agencies on their projects & campaigns. Add a few TV appearances & a rock radio show with a comedic edge, and you have Spillly, with 3 L’s.
