In this episode we dive into Robyn Hobson journey from growing up in South Africa to being a global marketing superstar.

Direct quote from Robyn herself: "My career has been anything but boring! I interned at a digital marketing agency that was home to some of the best creative minds in Africa, dove into the deep end at a mobile technology start-up that successfully exited, learnt how vital a crisis communications

started marketing Sprinter vans. ”
