Enjoying every day of entrepreneurship with passion (and stress😅)

Now, let's get marketing.

This is me

Hi! I'm Makayla.

I'm an entrepreneur...

I started a handmade jewellery business at 16, selling accessories at school market days, to fellow students, and then to family and friends over WhatsApp and Social Media. As I got closer to matric, and had learnt more about marketing, I decided to use social media to market my products and I built a basic website. Through marketing my little jewellery business, I feel in love with marketing.

I didn't study (as soon as I started, the pandemic hit, and my course wasn't offered online) so I took it as a sign and kept going, I have taught myself much of what I know and I found mentors along the way who were kind enough to share what they know.

Get to know me:

I am a biiiig foodie 🍕
I am OBSESSED with animals
I love rewatching my favourite series over and over again (I think this is a coping mechanism😅)
have a heart condition
Podcasts are the best (Diary of CEO and My First Million especially)
I own a creative agency called Socialite Digital

Anyway, enough about me!

See my agency

One of our exciting projects for 2024 was to build a website for @the_luxeaffair 🎀

We kept it simple, straightforward and easy to use, while ensuring it had the functionality for:

✅ Vendors to apply
✅ Countdowns and event details
✅ Galleries of past and present events

And more!

Head over to www.luxeaffairevents.co.za to take a look ✨

It really is that simple...👀

The balance between next-level creative and specialised strategy is VITAL. Having beautiful content is great, but without a strategy, it's not going to do much, similarly, having a strategy is great, but without incredible content, your strategy won't be carried out effectively.💥

Lucky for you, we do both 😉

Contact us for professional, high-quality creative and specialised strategy ✅

Thank you ASAIPA foundation for the opportunity to work on such special projects with you💙

This time last week we were at @the_luxeaffair

Last weekend was exhilarating, here's how our Luxe Affair experience went:
👉 We travelled down to Durban on Friday, checked into accommodation met the Luxe Affair team and checked out the event venue to prep for our weekend.
👉On Saturday we made our way to Luxe Affair to capture the videography for the day. We left for a few hours to edit and post a same-day promotional video of day one before heading back to film the evening.
👉 We filmed and photographed the event on Sunday.

We enjoyed some delicious food, drinks and treats from vendors and saw sooo many beautiful products.

Thank you Luxe Affair for the opportunity to capture your special weekend 📸💜

The buyer journey is not always just one or two simple steps 😅

All buyer journys are different, some people will in fact see your Ad and purchase straight away, and some will not, we're all living different lives and dealing with different distractions, that's why, as depicted in this post, you have to focus on different elements of marketing. Your organic social media, paid ads, email marketing and Google ranking etc work together in your marketing efforts!👩🏻‍💻

We had such an exciting content creation session this week 😍

We took some beautiful images and videos at @skin_jhb this week. (A beautiful salon for aesthetic skin treatments and beauty treatments too!) Not only did the team welcome us into their space with warmth and kindness (and coffee☕️), but they were more than willing to get involved in the content, which led to an incredibly successful day.

I (Makayla here) enjoyed a facial and was treated to a wonderful back and head massage and pedicure while Matt captured some exciting content.

Thank you for the spoils Skin. team!
