Personal Brand Statement

'I am a business creative/content creator and trusted marketing advisor for artists who need expert guidance while maintaining a modest budget. I help them take control of their business and marketing by learning, incorporating and executing effective strategies to achieve better results I build successful social strategies that increase brand awareness, promote customer engagement and ultimately drive web traffic and conversions.'

Aim

1) Music has always been an integral part of human culture and youth consume more music than any other modern age category. Thus music may be considered a primary cultural influence in the lives of youth and I want to strive to put positive influences in front of the youth.

2)Art in all its different forms has also been part of our lifestyle for generations. Though despite the hard work and determination of people with inborn talent’s the appreciation of art is at an all-time low here in Zimbabwe and one of the main aims of this brand is to dispel the starving artist myth.

Brand Description

Amanda is a well-spoken, articulate, and professional with a clear voice, excellent communication skills and a good sense of timing and co-ordination. She has a passion for helping people and has developed a passion for writing and music.

Over the years she has talked to a large number of teens and has noticed one common thing they are all fighting to be heard, many feel alone and lost and turn to the wrong tracks in life and she wants to fight to build up the next generation of strong people who do not have to feel alone.

Computers have provided us with a platform to allow these voices to be heard, and she has been volunteering online to help and council teens as well as starting her own awareness based online magazine called TSZ (The Safe Zone), working with a group of young adults from different parts of the world which she hopes to eventually turn into a website aimed at helping to counsel people in Africa and around the world.

She has also had the pleasure of working for Dreambox as a writer for an Animation: Tales Of Shaa which made it to the pitch finals for Digital Lab Africa, volunteering at Let Them Trust and Njuzu Entertainment as A & R Manager and is now under NK Digital as a Digital Marketer.

Recently she has been working to launch a production company with the first production under it being #NoFilter which is brand for African Women by African Women aimed at providing women around Africa with a voice.
