Tomorrow

Gary is one (if not the best) of the top digital media and marketing strategist in South Africa. Since joining FNB he has made a huge impact on all social media platforms and digital advertising (including actual sales) growth. The banks ROI on the digital platforms have grown over 200% in the last 2 years alone.

I worked with DoDigital while he was Head of Digital marketing at Telkom South Africa. His command of all things Digital, his ability to manage large teams, projects and strategy ideas and his natural innovation make him stand out as a true business leader. I really hope we can work together more.

Gary is, without doubt, the most experienced and knowledgeable digital marketer in the industry with a results-driven track record. As my manager, he ensured I was provided with opportunities that challenged me, grew me and shaped me into the digital marketing specialist I am today.

It has been my great pleasure working with Gary, I have found him insightful and second to none on digital strategy. We worked on very tight deadlines and Gary remained cool, calm and collected a True Leader! I would invite any opportunity to work with Gary again.

I have had the privilege of dealing and working with Gary for quite a few years now. He is one of the most knowledgeable marketers in country, having steered the digital strategy, development, implementation and accountability of some of the biggest brands in the country. I believe he is one of the top thought leaders in the market, he has a tremendous, professional work ethic, is exceptionally driven and motivated in achieving his goals and handles pressure effortlessly. I would recommend Gary being part of any marketing team to any big brand - he would be a massive asset in driving that business forward.

Gary's a potent mix of latest Digital Technology, Marketing know-how and enthusiasm. He has a very solution oriented mind-set which helps him identify the gaps and deliver a workable solutions. Always looking for creative ways to solve a problem, he has a great ability to look for cutting edge technology and match it to simple human (need) truth. A great asset to any team, he is not only a hard worker but also a smart one. I worked with him at Absa and can confidently recommend him for any Digital Marketing or Digital strategy role,

I worked with Gary from an agency perspective as his strategist. He is tenacious and a problem solver. He has a great understanding of the technical back-end as well as the importance of usability from a front end. He has helped put many large brands on the map from a digital perspective and build solid foundations where performance media is concerned. Gary is passionate about digital and enjoy's a challenge. His experience and network of strong minded digital people will be an asset to any company.

Gary is one of the most knowledgeable online marketing individuals that I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Not only does he have a huge passion for the subject, he also has a lot of experience in the marketing field, which makes him a great asset for any company that he works with. He has high expectations of himself and the people he works with and sets high standards that he tries to reach every time. His enthusiasm and pursuit of quality work makes him one of the hardest working individuals. Gary is a pleasant guy to work with and I found myself learning something new every time we worked together. He is detailed oriented and makes every effort to be thorough in his undertakings and always finds a way to get the best out of everyone he works with. Marketing “genius” would not be too far-fetched as a description of his work.

I had the pleasure of working with Gary from January 2012 until August 2013 in his capacity as Digital Marketing Manager at FNB and my capacity as Account Director at Gloo Agency. He was wonderful to work with. We worked very closely in executing a number of digital campaigns across the FNB Retail Banking portfolio over this period, and he is still one of the most informed people I have met in the digital world. His understanding of the medium is second to none, and I learnt a vast amount from him.

Gary works with incredible passion. His contribution to the field of digital advertising is always at the forefront of industry trend and as a result he always surpasses campaign KPI's. He is focused and pushes for quality no matter the size or importance of the project and he will hold you to your best at all times.
