In her new position, Marais will lead the team that currently works on the Cathay Pacific and Slo-Jo Solutions accounts; managing team members’ development, and ensuring that they meet their clients’ business objectives.

“Roxanne has solid leadership skills, she has a knack for people management, and a strong ability to consult across the full public relations spectrum. When she joined Tribeca in 2015, she brought with her a wealth of experience that added tremendous value to our agency,” says Cian Mac Eochaidh, director at Tribeca Public Relations.

“Her bubbly personality and zest for life sparked many friendships which has made her a well-respected team member at Tribeca. Her work also played a significant role in the agency’s Gold PRISA Prism Award for our work on Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Johannesburg,” he says.

Marais will join the other account directors working with Tribeca’s co-owners to bolster the teams, secure new business and build on the company’s ‘people first’ philosophy.

“Tribeca has been the perfect environment for me to grow and expand my public relations, people management and new media skills. I am looking forward to growing with my team, as we build on our solid foundations of traditional public relations skills to adapt and respond to our clients’ changing needs,” says Marais.
