Say hello to Thando , one of the newest additions to our Johannesburg team! As a Project Manager, Thando brings creative thinking, storytelling savvy, and a deep love for people to every brief she touches. With a background in film, television, and below-the-line marketing, she knows how to bring powerful narratives to life—and we’re thrilled she’s now doing it with us at Matriarch.
Books, Bedtime Stories & Big Hearts
Thando is a self-proclaimed bookworm with a deep appreciation for stories in all forms. Her goal is to read at least one book a month—though last year she crushed that with 17 titles! From gripping fiction to inspiring non-fiction, she’s always chasing her next literary escape. Outside of work (and the pages of her latest read), she spends quality time with her lively 3-year-old daughter, who keeps her schedule full and her heart even fuller.
A People-Person with a Passport
Driven by curiosity and connection, Thando loves exploring the world—both the places and the people in it. She thrives on meaningful conversations, shared experiences, and discovering different perspectives. One of her standout adventures? A trip to Egypt, where the ancient wonders blew her away just as much as the desert heat did. For Thando, travel is about more than just seeing the sights—it’s about soaking up the stories.
What excites you about Experiential Marketing?
For Thando, the magic of experiential marketing lies in its human core. She sees people not just as consumers but as living extensions of the brand—emotionally engaged, deeply invested, and ready for authentic connection. Creating moments that audiences don’t just witness but feel is what drives her. And being part of a team that believes in real people and real experiences? That, in her words, is the ultimate win.
We’re so excited to have Thando’s insight, warmth, and storytelling magic as part of the Matriarch journey. Here’s to all the powerful moments still to come. Welcome to the family!
