South African Digital Marketing Podcast

A South African digital marketer interviews the country's leading marketing minds on their careers, strategies, and the industry's evolution.

The brief

This is a weekly interview show focused squarely on the South African marketing landscape. Host Terence Mentor brings on a mix of agency heads, in-house marketing leaders, and tech founders to discuss their career paths, tactical challenges, and high-level strategic thinking. Conversations often explore the tension between timeless marketing principles and the rapid adoption of new technologies like AI.

Unlike globally-focused marketing podcasts, this show is hyper-specific to the South African market, discussing local challenges, data, and career trajectories. The host's focus on drawing out each guest's personal career journey provides a strong mentorship angle.
