how it started

In July 2008, pregnant with my third child, I decided to register my own business. My why was to prove to my ex-luxury-brand-employer that they lost a good employee and I wanted to be more than ‘just’ a mom. What unfolded was a whole different story …

performing started young

It started with ballet at 5 years old, then moved to modern dance, jazz and hip hop. Then came drama for stage and TV. And I excelled at it because I loved it. It’s my essence being a performer, I love how I connect with the audience on a heart-soul-mind level. And I haven’t stopped performing, only now I integrate it with business and brand building, hence the ‘edutainer’ promoted.

graduated from marketing and advertising in south africa

I absolutely loved studying, and loved the world of marketing and advertising. Creativity is my highest value, and it’s where I tap into when energy is low, and there is just something exhilarating for me when jumping between strategy and creativity, it gives me the thrill to be able to take something intangible and imaginative and turn it into something tangible and actionable.

moved onto industrial & organisational psychology, NLP, Neuroscience, Metaphysics and Spiritual world

After having my Management position within a luxury brand split between 6x different people, and then consequently leaving the company because of boredom and bad leadership, I pursued the world of psychology to understand how our minds work and how personalities are formed. This led me to discover new worlds, and new perspectives, which I integrated into the world of marketing, business, and brand building. I have gathered a multitude of information, knowledge and expertise from around the world on how businesses and brands are built, but also how to grow and scale them individually, without cookie-cutter-templates. I’m very honoured to be able to share my knowledge with students at the University of Applied Sciences in Kufstein and Salzburg as a Lecturer, but also as a Trainer with the Austrian Startups Youth Entrepreneurship Week and Moonshot Pirates.

Yvette Terblanche
Creative director

I’m addicted to Coke Zero, or anything with carbs actually. I only recently jumped on the Harry Potter bandwagon, very late I know! I’m currently devouring the third book. I secretly believe in Astrology, and according to a Numerologist I met in Cambodia I will retire quite early in life, which is nice. I love drawing, although I don’t do it nearly enough. I love all things beautiful especially decorative rugs and pillows which are currently sprawled all around my house, I am in constant fear of drowning in pillows while sleeping! I suffer from horrible allergies, but never take medication. My struggle is real.

Joel Delane

Hi, I’m Joel a husband and father of 2. I am an avid supporter of Tottenham Hotspur Football Club, so most weekend’s you’ll catch me down at the club chanting my lungs out with my son. I’m a front end engineer by trade and also manage software development teams too. I love watching a project develop from its infancy and picture a project like Lego blocks (another passion of mine). To relax I love binging a good box set on the sofa with a coffee….or two, or three 😉
