It is this momentum, together with Vizeum’s belief in empowering its staff, that has allowed for growth opportunities within the existing management team and its staff.
Tanya Schreuder and Richard Procter, former shareholders launched the Vizeum brand into South Africa in a joint venture with Aegis Media at the time, will both be taking on group roles within Dentsu Aegis Network SA. Schreuder will start her new role in June as Group managing director Media Brands and Procter will be taking a sabbatical from May and return to a group role in 2017. After a journey of over eight years, both are excited to take on new challenges within the group. This will also allow for a full and comprehensive handover to the new Vizeum leadership team.
Meanwhile, Kelvin Storie has been promoted to Group managing director of Vizeum as of March 2016.
Storie has been with Vizeum since the brand launched back in 2007 and has worked across Vizeum clients, in both Cape Town and the Johannesburg offices. He spent the last few years running the Vizeum Johannesburg office as managing director Johannesburg, with Shihaam Abrahams, media director Johannesburg.
The Johannesburg office is almost the size of the Cape Town office, with key clients like BMW, MINI, Tracker, Total and BBC Worldwide. Storie has also won numerous awards for media innovation and was instrumental in the recent pitch wins for both BMW/MINI and BBC Worldwide. He will be based in the Johannesburg office, with Abrahams as media director Johannesburg. A new appointment will be announced shortly as the media director for the Cape Town office starting from July 2016.
“We are confident that Kelvin and the new leadership team are up for the challenge to continue the success of Vizeum SA into its next chapter.”
