Gavin Wildschutt-Prins is El Patrón— or at least we let him believe that. He insists he’s a media expert (and to be fair, with experience spanning television, radio, newspapers and magazines, he might actually be right). His CV is so long it needs its own scroll button — think Spanish telenovela on Netflix: dramatic, compelling, and packed with plot twists. When he’s not adding another chapter to his résumé, Gavin oversees the company, steers the ship, and keeps the team on their toes — all with a perfectly timed cappuccino in hand.
Luc Kazaba likes to introduce himself as an “experienced advertising consultant,” but we suspect he’s actually serving a 13-year sentence in the glamorous world of inflight, airport and lifestyle magazines — and loving every minute of it. From insane ad deals to strategic branding, he’s mastered the art of making brands look très chic, all while being the ultimate team player. Oh, and did we mention he speaks French? Non? Give him a call and let him whisper merci beaucoup while closing your next deal.
Bongi Khanyile started selling advertising space in 1998 — back when she was bravely punting those toe-curling lineage ads that nobody *wanted* to book but absolutely *had* to. If you know, you know… and if you don’t, count yourself lucky.
From 2011 to 2018 she swapped insertion orders for activism, heading to the farms to “find her soul” (and possibly her patience), running workshops on rights and giving back like the overachiever she is — talk about a career plot twist.
Now she’s back in the ad game, bringing the calm, the consistency and the unshakeable steady hand… while Gavin cracks the whip and pretends he’s the boss.
Leroy Malangeis the kind of person who can organise absolute chaos, remember everyone's deadline, and still have time to remind you about yours. Armed with enough communication and project management qualifications to make a bookshelf nervous-a Postgraduate Diplomas in Project Management and Public Administration, BA Honours in Integrated Organisational Communication, an Advanced Diploma in Integrated Communication, and a National Diploma in International Communication- he's our resident master of sales, client relationships, campaign coordination, and closing the impossible deals. If there's a problem, Leroy probably solved it yesterday—and if there's cake in the office, he already knows who brought it.
Jo Abrahams, is an Advertising & Sales Consultant and a woman who can probably sell biltong to a penguin — although she'd first make sure the penguin is the actual decision-maker! With seven years of experience in media and sales, Jo’s journey began with what she fondly calls her “first proper job” as a store manager. From there, she climbed the ranks to become a Sales Manager, proving that hard work, determination, and a good sense of humour can take you a long way.
Jo’s sales philosophy is refreshingly simple: find the decision-maker, explain the benefits clearly, make sure the client understands exactly what they’re signing up for, remove any doubts, confirm the booking, and always say thank you. In other words, while the rest of us are still looking for the right person to speak to, Jo has already closed the deal, sent the confirmation, and is halfway through her celebratory coffee. We're thrilled to have her on the GP Media team!
Asive Mahlangu — the baby of the company. And before you start imagining nappies and nap time, don’t. This guy has so much charisma he could sell a lion its own tail and have it thanking him for the opportunity.
Asive swears by “doing the work when no one is watching” — which is corporate poetry for “I work after hours so no one bothers me.”
He believes consistency beats hype, execution beats excuses, and clear-thinking beats chaos. A big fan of teamwork (because strong teams always outperform solo superheroes), he still holds himself to standards so high they need Wi-Fi. Growth, impact and building work that lasts? That’s not just a tagline — that’s Asive on a Tuesday.
Mandisa Avutia is the Digital Manager at Gavin Prins Media, and if there’s content missing somewhere on the internet, chances are she’s already looking for it. With more than a decade spent building in the digital space — blogs, websites, and online businesses — she has mastered the art of turning “random assets” into polished brand stories. Around the office she’s known as the one asking, “Where are the images?”, “Who filmed this?”, and “Why is this not online yet?” — all in the noble pursuit of making sure everything lands exactly where it should: looking intentional, elevated, and unmistakably on-brand.
When she’s not chasing content or growing audiences online, Mandisa is also being expertly managed by her two extremely vocal bosses at home. She has written hundreds of pieces of content, built loyal digital communities, and believes the best ideas almost never happen alone — which is why collaboration is her favourite strategy (and occasionally her survival tactic). In short: if it lives online, Mandisa is probably already three steps ahead of it.
