Remember your Humble beginnings























































Hello... my name is Melusi and I believe a lot in Subliminal Advertising. 

My Mom, Dad & Aunt warned me that getting in Advertising wasn't gonna be easy (I was supposed to study PR... I did aswell). They were warning me that in Advertising, you need to have your own brain 🧠... granted there's barely nothing new under the sun... but if you focus hard enough... you will surely be creative. 

These are some of my favorite things. I'm inviting you into and beyond my Velvet Rope. For instance... Coca-Cola: did you know that in movies they'll show a can of Coke or someone drinking it... and immediately you'll feel thirsty because that's how powerful their Advertising is... it's Paradise: it's better than it was advertised! I remember in my 1st year of Advertising at Boston Media House writing one of our tests; one of the questions was: "How would you describe Advertising?" My answer was quite elaborate and I added that, Advertising is like a Brain Tattoo... it should stick in your mind forever. The lecturer (she was my favorite) actually put a smiley face :-) next to my Answer... I even got 100% for the yest and was top of my class. I've obtained my Diploma, but as you know... in our country... being educated doesn't secure you a place in an office... you have to create a means of an income creatively. I'm not sad that I can't get my dream job... it would be dope... but guess what... my experience and my work speaks for itself. Don't ever give up on your dreams... if one door 🚪 closes... kick the other one open (or use the backdoor) - there's always a way. These ate some of my influences and my 💘 loves. So basically what I'm trynna say is..  never stop dreaming. Dream BIG and act BIGGER. If it's your shot... will you take it? Or let it slip through your fingers... I think we all know the answer.
