Social Media Manager ( Feb 2025- May 2025)
Johannesburg, South Africa (Remote) | February 2024 – May 2025
Creative Connect is a registered non-profit organization founded in 2018 with a clear mission: to prioritize the development of independent African and Global South creatives. With over 600 artists, organisations, collectors and art lovers in 39 countries, we are creating an ecosystem that supports and connects creators, both locally and globally.
We prioritise promoting diverse voices, ensuring that African and Global South artists, curators, and creatives are seen, heard, and supported while helping them navigate the Arts world—especially within the African and Global South context.
At Creative Connect, I led the social media efforts to spotlight African contemporary art and artists. My day-to-day involved following local exhibitions, fairs, and galleries, collecting artwork, and curating content that told stories with intention and care.
I wrote every caption for Instagram and LinkedIn, making sure each post wasn’t just beautiful, but meaningful. I worked closely with artists, documented their work, and translated their ideas into language that connected with our audience.
I also designed visuals, managed the posting schedule, and tracked engagement. Over time, I helped grow our follower base and drive deeper interaction with our content. My focus was simple: build a digital presence that matched the creativity of the work we were sharing.
