We’re a technology company that has some talented individuals; each plays a huge role in bringing our tech, service, brand and vision to life. Our regular monthly feature aims to introduce you to some of the great people at Webfluential.
Today we’re featuring our master designer, who produces all the incredible imagery and graphics here at #TeamWebfluential. Meet Marnus!
Hi Marnus, tell us a little about yourself.
Hi, I like to think of myself as an ‘inspiration hunter’. A true believer that creativity sparks an experience, I try to experience as much as possible out of life. I do that simply by making sure I put the right foot out the front door and by not being scared of what waits for me on the other side.
What inspired you to work with #TeamWebfluential?
From a general point of view, what inspired me to become a designer was being surrounded by other creatives and seeing their different stories bloom. To use a Webfluential-related analogy, being influential on a level much bigger than yourself and seeing the reach it has on a global spectrum just shows you how creative ideas can change people’s way of thinking.
What’s the one thing you want to tick off your achievements list in the next five years?
I want to inspire the next generation with what I do, which in turn could hopefully see more creative influence being pumped back into the world.
If you could have dinner with any three people, who would they be and what would you order?
Three people… I would definitely have a great time getting to know Magnus Walker, Steve Jobs and perhaps Robin Sharma. Mixing it up with a visionary, a creative and not being scared to go with my gut around a glass of whiskey and a braai would be great.

Today we’re featuring one of our sales rockstars here on #TeamWebfluential. Meet our Junior Sales Rep, Ayanda!
Hi Ayanda! Tell us a little about yourself.
First and foremost, I am a child of God. I’m also a bit of a drama queen, a newborn health freak and gym junkie, a family-over-everything kind of person, and a traveller at heart who has a massive phobia for cats. Overall, I’m a lover of life!
What inspired you to come work with #TeamWebfluential?
I’m a brand fanatic. I enjoy building and moulding brands to make them top of mind for consumers. Webfluential stood out for me because it’s a fun environment and an appealing business model. What makes Webfluential unique is how it tells different stories through real people. For me, that’s a brilliant concept. I also wanted to learn more about influencer marketing and how it contributes to the marketing mix as a whole.
What’s the one thing you want to tick off your achievements list in the next 5 years?
*Moment of silence* I never think that far! Plans have a way of reformatting every now and then. I rather think short-term. I will have my Masters Degree in Brand Intelligence in 5 years, that’s for sure.
If you could have dinner with any three people in the world, who would they be and what would you order?
Michelle Obama
Tyler Perry
Shonda Rhimes
I’d first want to know who’s making dinner and what their speciality is. Otherwise, if it’s a regular menu, then mixed seafood pasta or a prawn curry makes my belly happy.

Our next feature is on our ‘influencer whisperer’ here at #TeamWebfluential, please meet one of our Campaign Managers, Tumelo!
1) Hi Tumelo! Please tell us a little about yourself in two sentences
Tumelo is obviously a tech/digital enthusiast, I’m a hip hop nerd – super fan of the music. I’m a good freestyler too actually! In short – I’m a student of life, always learning new things.
Yeah that’s me in two sentences haha!
2) What inspired you to come work with #TeamWebfluential?
I was doing a Digital Marketing internship at Livity Africa called Digify Pro, and Webfluential was looking for some young blood to come and join the A-team! They called a few of us in for an interview and it so happened that I was a blogger at the time, I guess that was one of the advantages I had.
I’ve always had a passion for the blogging industry but I had no idea how Influencer Marketing worked or how this platform was able to connect brands with influencers, so yes there was an element of blurriness and curiosity at the same time, but I knew that I always wanted this more than anything in the world.
3) What is the one thing you hope to accomplish in the next five years?
To make the #MGYoung200 list haha! Nah man, more than anything I just want to add value to both the global tech and digital industries.
4) If you could have dinner with any three people in the world, who would they be and what would you order?
That’s easy! Michael Jordan, Will Smith and Tasneem Mia (one of my colleagues) actually.
We’d have pizza!
