The Fried Tomato Co.Owner , Chief Cook & Bottlewasher
Feb. 2013GautengThe Fried Tomato Co. was formed in 2002 with the aim of being a small agency aimed at serving smaller start up companies with their marketing requirements. After working on contract with The South African State Theatre for close to two years I am back at the agency full time and ready to take on new clients.
I have gained valuable new experience in sponosrship sales and management, donor campaigns and donor stakeholder management. We take a very commercial approach to sponsorship sales and show return and value for all partners. With the pressure on all marketing budgets and the decreasing availability of sponsorship investment our value calculations and approach results in greater success.
Previous projects include the opening of the Nelson Mandela Bridge, the Opening of the Constitutional Court and writing the marketing strategy for Joburg FIFA 2010 World Cup.
