What it's like to work with me
“Candice was a contractor in the Webber Wentzel marketing team for a period of 9 months, and was an absolute pleasure to have onboard. She very quickly build the necessary relationships with our stakeholders to gain their buy-in and enable her to grasp very complex legal concepts and translate these into palatable creative copywriting for both internal and external clients. I would highly recommend her expertise.”

Louise Johnston

“Candice is one of the go-to perma-lance copywriting resources in the Ad industry in Mzansi (and beyond). She comes into an agency, gets the brief, and gets on with it. Whether you need her for a month or three she shows up, she's an absolute pro, she gets sh*t done, she doesn't involve herself with politics and after just a few days she feels like she's part of your team. She has a unique ability to adapt to any type of brief and do a stellar job on it ... Traditional, BTL, TTL, ATL, Digital, Social ... it don't matter. #GirlsGotGame”

“Candice is definitely one of the most talented and professional copywriters that I have had the privilege of working with on some of the biggest brands in South Africa. Her ability to problem solve with clients in recording sessions, on the fly, has always made the recording process run very smoothly and efficiently. I would highly recommend using Candice on your brand and I look forward to continuing our working relationship!”

“Very few people are as powerful a talent as they are a nurturer of talent, and Candice is most definitely one of these rare gems. As a fresh, junior copywriter starting out in a multimillion-rand company, I become the new kid she took under her wing. Through her sheer patience, guidance and mentorship, I have learnt and grown exponentially as a copywriter as well as a female talent in advertising. Two years later, I am trusted as a strong creative on multiple big campaigns and I owe this growth to her. As a mentor and a writer, she is exceptional, but holistically, she is one human you will forever be proud to have had on your team.”
Reaorata Mashaba
Marketing Consultant | Copywriter
“I have worked with many freelancers throughout my career, but Candice was a unique one to work with. Her work ethics are commendable, and she is easily adjustable to any situation which comes from her many years of experience.
Candice expertly filled the senior conceptual copywriter role at Y&R for the two years we worked together. Her multitasking ability was unlike I’ve seen before and made working with Candice not only a pleasure but ensured we delivered on time, every time.
What I most admired about Candice was her authentic nature, and her aptness in handling any challenge calmly and professionally, even with the trickiest of clients. This natural skill of hers helped us maintain a great team relationship, and even more so, great client relationships too.
I most certainly highly recommend Candice to join your team.”
