About

Raised on film sets. Fluent in data.

I'm Sandile Mthukwane, a digital strategist and paid media specialist based in Johannesburg.

Where I come from.

My roots are in film and television. Before digital, I worked across TV, radio, print and PR, in rooms where the job was to tell a story people would actually sit through.

That training shapes how I run campaigns today. Data tells me where to show up. Story decides whether anyone cares. I use both, which is why my work tends to hold attention instead of scrolling past it.

Over eight years I've built paid media strategies, managed teams and advised on creative for brands in automotive, security, healthcare, aesthetics, beauty, law, tech, interior design and e-commerce.

Right now

Senior Paid Media Manager

Ebony + Ivory, Johannesburg. Running Meta, Google and programmatic for VWFS, Clinix and Sasria.

Founder, Fortune Digital

A digital studio for South African SMEs: websites, WhatsApp automation, paid media and reporting.

How I work

Three things I promise.

Promise

Precision with imagination.

Every campaign sits on clean tracking, solid analytics and a testing plan. Then I make it interesting enough to stop the scroll.

Essence

A personality, not a post.

I help brands find a voice that attracts the right customers and makes competitors look generic.

My vibe

Built with you.

You know your business. I know the platforms. We build the plan together so it fits how you actually operate.
