My name is Michelle Bobbert, the proud founder and managing director of Creative Bond Marketing. As we approach our five-year milestone, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on the incredible journey we’ve had and express my gratitude to everyone who has been a part of this adventure.
In April 2019, I embarked on a mission to help startups and SMEs connect with their target audiences through online channels, fostering lasting and loyal bonds. The inspiration for Creative Bond Marketing stems from a lifelong dream of entrepreneurship and a deep-rooted desire to assist business owners in navigating the vast landscape of digital marketing.
At the heart of Creative Bond’s mission is the commitment to support small startups and SME’s in establishing an online presence without the expensive marketing budgets of larger corporations. This is particularly crucial in South Africa, where fostering entrepreneurship is not only a passion but a means to bridge the unemployment gap and contribute to economic growth.
One of the key aspects of our vision is to upskill young and driven individuals who have completed their studies, providing them with hands-on experience in the dynamic field of marketing. I am proud of the achievements we’ve made in nearly five years and remain committed to expanding our impact by creating opportunities for talented individuals to upskill themselves and supporting small businesses in their marketing endeavors.
A sincere thank you goes out to all our amazing clients who have partnered with us over the years, making this entrepreneurial journey immensely rewarding. Looking ahead, my goal is to grow Creative Bond into a team of talented, young creatives who can use their skills to land their dream jobs or pursue entrepreneurship themselves, ultimately contributing to the growth of the economy and job creation.
As we welcome the new year, I am excited about the possibilities it holds for Creative Bond Marketing. I am eager to collaborate with more businesses and creatives, contributing to positive change, even if it’s small, and fostering opportunities for growth. Here’s to an exciting new chapter ahead, and I wish each one of you the absolute best in your endeavors.
Thank you for being a part of my journey.
