Martin MacGregor, Connect founder and M&C Saatchi Group SA partner: Media says “Our Group mantra is ‘The people with the best people win’ and with a leadership team of Michele and Rita, now joined by Marvin, we have a dynamic and talented team to take Connect to the next level. It’s a very exciting time in media and the team can’t wait to continue to drive our digital media transformation and to provide existing and new clients with strategic smarts and innovative media solutions we have become known for.”
Cameron says “We are very excited to have Marvin joining Connect. He will provide dynamic leadership in Johannesburg and has the right expertise and experience to further grow our client base there.”
“We are privileged to have Marvin as part of the team and his experience will greatly support Connect's overall vision to drive harder working campaigns across our portfolio of clients,” adds Nel.
Echoing both their sentiments, Kgasoane says, “I am very excited to be part of the Connect team. I have been watching them for a while and I definitely feel like I have landed in the right place.”
