Our Team
Loud and proud, South African to the core.
FAIZEL
Faizel is the Managing and Multimedia Director of Cut2Black. He has his roots in journalism, and is passionate about developmental communications and making a positive contribution to the growth and development of South Africa.
AVILE
Avile is a digital native. She started working in the fashion industry, and when they wouldn’t put her on the cover, she decided she’d make her own, and became very good at it. She runs our digital team and is our lead client interface.
COURTNEY
Courtney is a communication strategist, and an amazing manager. She’s process driven, and a fiend at excel. Her journey as communication strategist started on stage, traversed the difficult terrain of brand activation, and went digital. She’s smart and funny (sometimes), but mostly smart. She’s a strategic thinker but strangely bad at chess.
Senzekile
Senzekile heads up our sales team. She’s been doing it for more than a decade looking at client needs and making sure we’re able to meet them. She has a great insight into market trends and analysis and will be calling you very soon.
EARL
Earl was a very clever child, and told great stories. He became a journalist and writer, and polished his craft to include telling stories digitally. He’s great at his craft, and passionate about a silly soccer team that wears red.
DIEN
Dien is the woman from Billions that makes sure we’re all performing at our peak. But he’s a guy, and an excellent business and personal development coach with more than 5000 coaching hours under his belt.
Kopano
Kopano is a multi-media artist that dresses like he’s part of Migos. Which makes him really cool, and really smart. He designs, edits, and creates content that clients mostly like. He wants to be rock-climber, we think.
Makho
Makho is a social media Guru. He manages his own social media profile really well, and is even better at doing it for clients. He really gets social media and content development – not just cool stuff like posting, but complex stuff like traffic matrix analysis and interpreting social media listening tools.
Jay
Jay is a passionate film-maker and storyteller. He’s the definition of the phrase ‘dynamite comes in small packages”. He spent way too much money at AFDA, but emerged with a degree, and passion for visual communication.
ADAM
ADILE
Adile is an award-winning master visual storyteller that insists on carrying his own gear wherever he goes. He has more than twenty years of experience in film and broadcasting and taught himself to fly a drone. He’s worked in more countries than we can list. And he can cook.
GRANT
MERRIAM
Merriam is fastidious about administration, and compliance. So we remain tax compliant, CSD compliant, Labour compliant, POPI compliant, ROE compliant, BEE compliant, environmentally compliant and we even pay our tv license. And not because we have to, but because we’re good citizens like that.
Nokuthula
Nokothula is in charge. That’s it. She’s just in charge. She’s first in, looks after our clients, and looks after us. She’s loud and loud. She’s super nice to everyone.
Yolanda
Yolanda runs the administrative part of our business and makes sure everyone gets paid. She negotiates like hostage taker which is why our advertising rates are the best in the business.
WYNONA
Wynona won’t talk about her age, but she’s been in television and media production for more than twenty years. She’s multi-skilled and has multiple personalities, but always effective.
