Having been trained in media and entertainment business management, I have a varied cross-disciplinary background. My new role at BRFC will see these skills being brought to the fore on a daily basis. My focus, in addition to motivating a team of talented, creative people is going to be delivering work that not only sets our clients apart from their competitors but also increasing their brand awareness in new target markets.” His hope is to build an agency that will reward and recognise people at their level of performance and not years of experience, contrary to what he has experienced working in ad agencies. “We seem to reward people for the years they’ve spent solving problems and not how quickly they can solve those problems.” Ndhlovu says he strongly believes in Black River FC and its legacy. “The agency has a rich history and I’m fortunate to be a part of that.” And he looks forward to driving the vision for Black River FC 2.0…
