This is Ron, our fearless leader and Business Development Manager. Depending on what mood everyone is in, he’s either referred to as Ron-Ron or Ronald 😂 He says that if he could have an unlimited supply of one thing for the rest of his life, it would be knowledge 🤓📚 Ron says his favourite holidays always include elements of off-roading, fly fishing and any other outdoorsy activities 🐟🌴🚘 While this may not be a fictional world, Ron says he’d love to spend some much-needed 'me time' on an uninhabited Pacific island paradise 🐠🌊 Sounds like music to our ears! Ron says that he’d love to have Bear Grylls as his celebrity best friend, because they’d have the most incredible adventures together 🐻 Lovely to meet you, Ron-Ron! . . #meettheteam #CEO #staffmembers #gbbteam #crazycolleagues #factsaboutus #socialmediamarketing #headofsocialmedia #digitalmarketing #businessleader #companyleader #funatwork #news #hardworkers #Johannesburg #southafrica https://www.instagram.com/p/CAH8BaBjoAB/?igshid=e74cjvw73r21

You know her, you love her, but now it’s time to dig a little deeper into the mind of our beloved Head of Social Media, Karen! . . She’s affectionately known by her social media handle (karidbn) by everyone in the office, but her nickname in junior school was ‘khakipants’! We’d love to know the story behind this 😂😉 . . She says if she could have an unlimited supply of one thing for the rest of her life, it would be the Sour Cream & Onion flavoured Pringles 🤤💚 We’ll take a tube too, if you don’t mind! . . Karen says she loathes tradition, but absolutely adores any holiday! Preferably at the beach, in the bush or in the mountains 🏖🌳🏔 . . She says if she could visit any fictional world, it would be Enid Blyton’s The Faraway Tree – nothing too dangerous, but packed with trippy and exciting characters 🤪 . . If Karen could have a celebrity bestie, she says she’d choose author Joy Harjo, because she’s reading one of her books at the moment and would love to pick her brain! . . Lovely to meet you, Karen! . . #meettheteam #partner #staffmembers #gbbteam #crazycolleagues #factsaboutus #socialmediamarketing #headofsocialmedia #digitalmarketing #socialmediateam #funatwork #news #hardworkers #Johannesburg #southafrica https://www.instagram.com/p/B_1_EQxjrFd/?igshid=1jnblk2sewgxo

Hi everyone 👋 This is Kirsten, our Social Media Analytics Officer! She’s affectionately known as Kirst by everyone in the office. She says if she could have an unlimited supply of one thing for the rest of her life, it would be Coke Zero (we can confirm this; she’s never been seen in the office without some 🤣) Her favourite holiday is Easter, because it’s the best time to spend with the family, and it’s a good excuse to eat all the delicious food you want! 😂🍫🥘 . . She says if she could visit any fictional world, she’d go to Shrek’s hometown to hang out with Donkey and his warm and cute personality! Sounds like a laugh! Her celebrity bestie would be Jennifer Garner, because she knows the value of privacy, and Kirst admires her ability to keep fame and her private life separate. Also, she’s really glamourous and funny! Nice to meet you, Kirst! . . #meettheteam #staffmembers #gbbteam #crazycolleagues #factsaboutus #socialmediamarketing #digitalmarketing #socialmediateam #funatwork #news #hardworkers #Johannesburg #SouthAfrica https://www.instagram.com/p/B_kTyqvjd7c/?igshid=rigrvwvw1mts

Meet the wildest member of our team, Pearl! She’s part of our social media team, and she’s the literal life of the party 🎉 She’s affectionately known as Pearly Whirly in the office, but her official nickname is Jika Majika, which she earned through her love of dancing 💃🏾 Pearl says that if she could have an unlimited supply of one thing for the rest of her life, it would be red-bull (with no side effects 😂👀) Her favourite holiday is a magical day called Friday afternoon! She especially likes that it comes around every week 😂 (same, girl!) She says if she could visit any fictional universe, it would be Bikini Bottom, because there’s no curfew and you live underwater! 🐠🐟🦀 What’s not to like? Pearl says her celebrity bestie would be the incredible Zozibini Tunzi, our very own Miss Universe 👑 She says the travel and meaningful work she does around the world (specifically for women without a voice) would feed her soul. We honestly can’t think of anyone who could top this, Zozibini is amazing! Nice to meet you, Pearly Whirly! . . #meettheteam #staffmembers #gbbteam #crazycolleagues #factsaboutus #socialmediamarketing #digitalmarketing #socialmediateam #funatwork #news #hardworkers #Johannesburg #SouthAfrica https://www.instagram.com/p/B_AEQqCDwms/?igshid=10p37kk07kqf0

This is Jardyne, one of our incredible key account managers. She’s affectionately known as Jozi by her friends and family. If Jardyne could have a lifetime supply of one thing, she says it would be chilli droewors. We can confirm that this is 100% accurate 😂 Jardyne says her favourite holiday is Easter, because she loves being with her family (and getting the chance to stuff her face with Easter eggs 😂🍫) She says if she could visit any fictional world, it would be the Marvel Universe, because she’s been a fan of the comics since she was a child. Sounds like a pretty action-packed getaway, can we join you? If Jardyne could have a celebrity bestie, she says she’d pick Jim Carrey because he’s hilarious and woke AF! Nice to meet you, Jozi! . . #meettheteam #staffmembers #gbbteam #crazycolleagues #factsaboutus #socialmediamarketing #digitalmarketing #accountmanager #keyaccountmanager #funatwork #news #hardworkers #Johannesburg #SouthAfrica https://www.instagram.com/p/B-uClA2jms4/?igshid=15k4cp4nascc0

This is Iqsaan, one of our fabulous DTP operators! His nickname around the office, and his official alter ego, is Morgan, because he loves using different accents when talking to people 🤣 He says if he could have an unlimited supply of one thing for the rest of his life, it would be good, old-fashioned Indian comfort food! This is definitely something we could all get on board with! 🍲 Iqsaan’s favourite holiday is Christmas, because he really enjoys being in the festive spirit and bonding with his family. He says he’d love to visit the X-Men universe and use Professor X’s Cerebro machine, because it’s an extremely powerful device and would give him the ability to enter the minds of every person on the planet 😮 Hmm, do we sense world domination here? 🤣🤔 If Iqsaan could have a celebrity best friend, he’d pick Warren Buffett, because having a best friend like Warren would motivate him to be successful and positive. Nice to meet you, Iqsaan! . . #meettheteam #staffmembers #gbbteam #crazycolleagues #factsaboutus #socialmediamarketing #digitalmarketing #graphicdesigners #funatwork #news https://www.instagram.com/p/B-b98YMDpXL/?igshid=g1t1kt1jd5ur

Hi, I’m Phemelo. I’m the new web designer at Green Beetle Branding. My nickname is King Slayer - not really, I don’t slay much. Most people call me Pheme (pronounced as P-Mee), or simply P. Yes, like the letter; my friends are minimalists. If I could have an unlimited supply of one thing for the rest of my life, it would be youth. Not for the sole purpose of being young forever, but to have the time to experience more, see the world and learn everything I possibly could. I don’t have a favourite holiday, because I tend not to do traditions. Instead, I do rituals. Every night, when the sun sets, I chant this incantation: “Thou shalt not lose, PlayStation is life. Game till the opponent dies, kill all and survive”. Once the incantation is complete, a magical box known as a PS4, lights up. I call this ritual, game night. If I could visit any fictional world, it would be The Matrix - where you can upload any skill you want to learn straight into your brain. For example, I’m a lethal black belt, and I break other people’s bones for a living. Of course, in the real world, this is not true, because the only belt I have is for my trousers and its typically a fashion accessory. If I could have a celebrity best friend, it would be Bruce Wayne. Together, we’d buy McDonalds. Then, we’d fire Ronald McDonald, because he’s a good-for-nothing mascot. Once he’s gone, we’d replace him with the Joker, just to make life a little more interesting. Muahahaha! . . #meettheteam #staffmembers #gbbteam #crazycolleagues #factsaboutus #socialmediamarketing #digitalmarketing #newbie #funatwork #news #webdeveloper https://www.instagram.com/p/B93kZEtJ0nH/?igshid=nykp6qotb1il

Meet Mohammed, our (camera shy) studio manager, production manager and resident software guy with a PhD in just about everything! He has many nicknames in the office, but he prefers Mo. He really wants a Ferrari, and he’d love to have an unlimited supply of them for the rest of his life (laughing emoji). His favourite holiday is Eid, because he enjoys spending time with his family. He says if he could visit any fictional world, it would be the post-apocalyptic world of The Walking Dead. We wonder why… Mo says that he’d choose Harry Kane to be his celebrity best friend, because they both share the same passions (soccer and Tottenham Hotspur). Nice to meet you, Mo! . . #meettheteam #staffmembers #gbbteam #crazycolleagues #factsaboutus #socialmediamarketing #digitalmarketing #news #studiomanager #funatwork #news #hardworkers https://www.instagram.com/p/B9l_3COpIMP/?igshid=188c7ltyni5e
