About me

After several years attempting a degree in Chartered Accountancy, Camilla got out just in time, pursuing a career as a copywriter in advertising. Starting at MetropolitanRepublic, she spent a number of years learning about TV, Print and Radio, working on clients like FNB, MTN and Wimpy, before finding her way into experimental and innovative digital agency, Hellocomputer.

Helping to create many firsts, like building a real-life website on a 2km cycling track for the Toyota RAV4, and turning a non-profit organisation into a media agency to feed hungry children for the PSFA, Camilla has won a number of awards, both locally and internationally; including Cannes, Loeries, Bookmarks, Webbys, D&AD, FWA, One Show to name a few. She has also judged on the Cannes, Loeries and Bookmarks panels.

She has worked on a number of big brands including Coca Cola, Investec Asset Management, Engen, Pernod Ricard, Alexander Forbes, South African Tourism and Toyota. She also enjoys wine.
