Member’s Spotlight: Think Creative Africa

Mesh Club — Tue, 23 Aug 2022 16:29:07 +0000

Member’s Spotlight: Think Creative Africa

Meet our members: Some of South Africa’s top creatives have found their professional home at MESH Members Club in offices that allow their teams to have a space to work, meet, socialise and connect.

This powerhouse through-the-line agency is based at MESH Members Club in our executive, fully-serviced offices.

Thinking and creating for Africa and beyond: A creatively-led, insight-driven creative agency, solving business problems through a uniquely African perspective. Think Creative was founded in 2016 by CEO Mukondi Ralushayi Kgomo and COO Nkgabiseng Motau.

They’re known for combining truly African creativity and data-led Insights to generate ideas that solve business problems whilst positively impacting society. This team is poised for greatness with clients like AA, Diageo, Unilever, Spar, DSTV, Engen, Vodacom and Supersport in their portfolio.

We took a moment to catch up with CEO and Co-founder, Mukondi Ralushayi Kgomo: Mukondi began her career eleven years ago as a copywriter at Ogilvy Johannesburg then moved to FCB Africa where she worked on multiple blue-chip brands before venturing into the entrepreneurship world. She has won numerous advertising awards and serves as a recurring judge for Creative Circle, Loeries, Pendorings and Cannes Young Lions. She offers her time as a mentor for The One Club Creative Bootcamp and the Loeries Open Chair organization.

She is known for having created some of South Africa’s most loved ads, including Coca-Cola’s Bobby
commercial, which became the best practice in over 90 countries, but she regards her finest
achievement as the impact work she gets to make on society through projects like The Feel
Party, which she co-founded to bring awareness to breast cancer. In addition, Mukondi’s charity
work spans over ten years, from raising funds for school kids, volunteering at a hospice and
donating to various charities. She has presented on topics such as entrepreneurship, being a woman in business and the creative industry on various platforms, including GIBS. She has also been featured by Destiny
Magazine, Radio 702, Kyk Net and Bizcommunity, to name a few.

Mukondi shared 8 quick-fire facts about herself.

- Ten years of advertising experience
- Recurring Loeries, Pendorings, Creative Circle and Cannes Young Lions judge
- M&G Young 200 South Africans
- Marketing Practitioner SA
- The One Club Creative Bootcamp and Loeries Open Chair mentor
- Personality trait: A stubborn optimist
- Recovering chocoholic… Okay I’m lying, still a chocoholic!
- 2022 word: Growth
