Blessing Mokoena Husband | Top Digital Marketing Voice | Award-Winning Project Manager | Multipotentialite | Blessing wrote his first song at age 6.

Born on the 2nd of March 1994, Blessing Mokoena is a singer,songwriter,producer,mix engineer,vocal coach and music educator. He began to study music theory at the age of 5 and also began piano lessons at 6. At age 11 he ditched the black and white keys for frets and strings and picked up guitar. Having been tutored by numerous noteworthy and internationally reputable music educators over the past

17 years music theory has not only become a strong suit but the backbone of this young man's repetoire. By age 10 he had written numerous songs that were mostly sung by a few friends at church. At age 15 he became the youngest and first black winner of the "Antonia Jervis Cup" Awarded by the Zimbabwe Academy of Music for "Best Classical Arrangement" of Sebastian Bach's "Aria" which was performed at the World Music Festival in the same year. The following year would see no less success for Blessing as he won the award once again following his arrangement of Morgan Szalouwski 's "Zambezi Sarabande" and heralded the German Szalouwski to Dub the then 16 year old Boy "Genius Maestro" and "one to watch for the future".This had cemented his role as a songwriter and arranger in formal music circles however he would play a cameo role in the years to follow. At age 17 Blessing began singing being picked up various A cappella groups. This proved to be challenging for the young man as he struggled to apply his theory skills and it was clear that the young man was not only outside his comfort zone but also out of his depth betweeen a shaky voice and and a bass range. Alot of work was needed he began practicing daily and Soon built up quite a bit of range and tone color. He later founded and Directed Vantage,Vérité and most recently Sci6n. For Blessing, time and experience aided in understanding of lay terms as well as their relation with theory this soon led to Blessing applying his writing skills and arranging prowess to Contemporary Gospel A cappella. He has since written and arranged an immesuarable number of songs in a number of styles from, Contemporary Gospel,Classical and Jazz in A cappella most notable to date is the Afrocentric "Nyathela Ngamandla" originally recorded by Vérité which become an international radio hit garnering top 10 spots in 6 countries and continues to reach new boarders. As a producer Blessing has executively produced 2 Albums and Various singles and has turned to mix engineering as his current path .With the Start up of his new record label and studio Ballistic Records Africa. Blessing is set to release his official debut Single "Open Closed Doors" before the end of 2016! Like on facebook

The Future of Digital Marketing in Africa: Are We Ready?

Africa’s digital economy is growing at an unprecedented pace. From mobile-first solutions to the rise of e-commerce platforms, the potential for businesses across the continent is limitless. But the question remains: are we truly ready to leverage this opportunity?

Over the past 11 years I’ve witnessed firsthand how digital transformation can elevate businesses, I’ve helped companies increase their online visibility and boost sales through strategies that combine Media Buying, Performance Marketing, SEO, social media marketing, and more recently AI-powered tools to truly make a meaningful difference.

But digital marketing isn’t just about tools, it’s really more about strategy, adaptability, and understanding the African market. Here are three trends I believe will shape the future of digital marketing in Africa:

1️⃣ Localized Content: Audiences connect with content that speaks their language, culture, and daily realities.

2️⃣ Mobile-First Strategies: With over 70% of Africans accessing the internet via mobile devices, businesses must optimize for mobile experiences.

3️⃣ AI and Automation: From chatbots to personalized recommendations, AI is becoming a game-changer for engagement and conversions.

📢 What’s the biggest challenge your business faces in adopting digital strategies?

Let’s discuss how we, as entrepreneurs and professionals, can create a thriving digital ecosystem in Africa.

I once told my boss that "an emergency is a failure to plan," and I truly meant it because I honestly believe that in the truest sense. Imagine my horror when I was going through a somewhat tumultuous time falling behind with some projects and essentially facing some of the most difficult challenges of my career and in"emergency mode only to hear my boss say , "someone once told me that an emergency is a failure to plan"...I was mortified!

But I learnt alot , Let's break it down!
The statement "an emergency is a failure to plan" rings true in many professional settings. Here's why:

Proactive vs. Reactive: A well-defined plan allows for proactive responses. Anticipating potential issues and outlining steps beforehand ensures a smoother reaction when emergencies arise. Without a plan, scrambling to figure things out in the heat of the moment is inevitable, leading to delays and potentially worsening the situation.

Reduced Stress and Clear Communication: A plan provides a roadmap during emergencies. Employees know their roles and responsibilities, reducing confusion and stress. Clear communication protocols ensure everyone stays informed and works together efficiently. When a plan is absent, panic and miscommunication can take hold, hindering effective response.

Improved Decision-Making: The pressure of an emergency can cloud judgment. A well-crafted plan helps guide decision-making by laying out options and potential consequences. This allows for measured, well-thought-out actions instead of rushed, reactive choices that might have unintended negative effects.

Mitigating Damage: Emergencies can cause significant disruptions, but a plan can minimize the damage. Having procedures in place for data backups, emergency shutdowns, or disaster recovery can significantly reduce downtime and financial losses. The lack of a plan often leads to bigger problems arising from the initial emergency.

Legal and Compliance Issues: Many industries have legal requirements for emergency preparedness. Failing to have a plan can lead to hefty fines or even legal repercussions.

What to do as a leader? PLAN PLAN PLAN PLAN!!!!
Investment in Planning: Taking time to create and practice emergency plans is an investment. While it may seem unnecessary during calm periods, its benefits become evident during emergencies.

Regular Review and Updates: Emergencies and situations can evolve. Plans need to be reviewed and updated periodically to reflect changes and ensure their continued effectiveness.

Communication and Training: Everyone involved needs to be aware of the plan and understand their roles. Regular training ensures everyone is familiar with the protocols and can act swiftly when needed.

It's not about creating an ironclad plan for every situation, but about establishing a framework for a measured and effective response when unexpected events occur!

A couple of weeks ago, I went out to the IIBA Zim Chapter Meet and Greet! It was so much fun to chat with amazingly talented people from so many varied walks of life!

As someone who has been a BA myself in Past roles I'm well aware of the challenges that it brings and how little it's often understood. Now as a Project Manager, my deep appreciation of BAs and the BA profession allows me to draw from different and unique perspectives!

To put it simply Business Analysts justify the existence of the technology around the business. They define the why, the business case, and without them, we may continue to seek the answers to what we all might have thought were the world's greatest ideas

Long Live The IIBA community you are all awesome!

P.S thanks for the Tee!
