A Great Story of Lebogang Mgiba

I started as an intern at Blaque Magazine in 2012, at the time I was repeating one module, Sociology. So it was school plus work but i loved it so much. Working at a magazine had always been my dream since i was in Grade 12 and i was ecstatic that God heard my prayers and I was living my dream. I went from just doing content on their website and social media to writing articles for the print magazine. I later became Content Manager for a few publications that they also published. It’s still one of the best experiences of my life but in 2014 I knew I had to try something new. I then applied for a job at a digital creative agency called SoulProviders. If anyone were to ask me which agency to recommend for learning and being groomed to become the best in digital, then I’d actually choose them. Everything that i know right now about strategy, social media, website, design, creative directing etc is because of them. I grew so much on a personal and work level in the two years i spent with them. Very open minded, crazy ideas and also being yourself. But I also went through a phase where I wasn’t sure about what I was doing or what I’m going to do after. I’m still not certain where I’m headed but I know what I’m doing right now has a purpose. It’s really okay not to know sometimes, don’t beat yourself up. Use your 20s to figure it all out.

  A brief advice you can give to people aspiring to be in your position.

Allow yourself to make mistakes and learn from them, ask questions, be curious, learn to work independently and as a team. Don’t be arrogant even if you are the best at what you do, good attitude goes a long way. READ, READ, be informed about what’s happening in the digital world because it’s forever evolving. But what’s also important is that you need to love what you do and love the brands you work on, you need to make them your own, give them the love they so deserve. Know it, understand it and always find ways to improve it. You also need to believe in the vision of your company so that you can align yourself with it, if you don’t believe in it, then it will be hard to fulfill it. The last thing is that you should never take yourself too seriously, laugh a little, it helps 🙂

    I?m impressed, I must claim. Truly rarely do I come across a blog site that?s both educative and also amusing, and also let me inform you, you have actually struck the nail on the head. Your idea is outstanding; the concern is something that inadequate individuals are speaking wisely around. I am really satisfied that I stumbled across this in my search for something associating with this. Dulcea Page Rebekkah

    A motivating discussion is definitely worth comment. I do believe that you ought to write more about this subject matter, it might not be a taboo matter but typically people do not talk about such topics. To the next! Kind regards! Freda Agustin Haeckel

    First off I want to say terrific blog! I had a quick question in which I’d like to
    ask if you don’t mind. I was interested to find out how you center yourself and
    clear your mind prior to writing. I have had a hard time clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts out.
    I do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10 to
    15 minutes are generally lost simply just trying to figure
    out how to begin. Any suggestions or tips?
    Many thanks! asmr 0mniartist
