Binikos: I was born and bred in the land of gold.
Binikos: Driving and selling some of South Africa's greatest creative pieces.
Binikos: It's been a rollercoaster of a ride, but every bit has been as much of a great learning curve as the next. I've had the pleasure of working at some agencies when they were at their pinnacle of their life stages, such as TBWA/Hunt/Lascaris, DDB South Africa and Black River FC.
Binikos: I love the ability for something to become so big that it becomes a movement or a culture, like big brands. If a brand becomes owned by the people without having been 'forced' on to them, it's done the best job. I love my wife and son. I love movies, books and music. And I also love long walks on the beach.
Binikos: That we can orchestrate brands becoming culture.
Binikos: There is a lack of brave clients and an abundance of people treated disrespectfully - both internally and from clients towards agencies.
Binikos: Meetings about meetings. My role is trouble-shooting, motivating and selling. And then sometimes I have to do work.
Binikos: Knowing what is going on around me all the time. People in our business can't afford to not know what's happening in the consumer environment.
Binikos: Red Bull.
Binikos: Getting to know my new team at Quirk, as I just moved here!
Binikos: DFP, CPC, PCC, ABC, R2D2, C3PO and other acronyms. I don't like buzzwords.
Binikos: Usually when I'm driving or if I've had a few beers.
Binikos: My Chewbacca impersonation.
Binikos: Selfies of my son and myself.
Binikos: Work on communication, relational skills are important. And know how to keep your finger on the consumer pulse as this is where the best insights come from for business /communication opportunities.
Binikos: Technophile!
