Kenya also has incredible talent and an advertising ecosystem primed with opportunity.”
Jordaan continued: Maggie is an exceptional leader who brings with her years of knowledge in the marketing and advertising industries. She will be taking our partnerships, media representations and services to brands across the Kenya market.”
