About Us
Overview and Genesis
Brand Catapult Upskill is a brainchild of two university classmates Ntsiruweni “Craig” Mukhuba and Ndivhu “Shirley” Ramalibana, conceived out of the need to create a sustainable platform to provide training for marketing and organisational communications professionals from early job trainees all the way to the top of the communication hierarchy at company or otherwise, organisational environment inclusive of public sector entities.
Our collective vision was conceived from the realisation of a dire paucity in the requisite skills to manage and direct communication strategy and content management/execution outside the realm of dedicated agencies that offer those services at company/organisational level, leaving both private companies and public entities exposed to the spectre of engaging service providers who offer solutions that are way below par or simply do not meet their communication objectives, at a non-recoverable cost.
We want to empower SMMEs and these employees to know when the necessity arises to outsource the intrinsic components of their communication function and to be able to gauge value based on predetermined KPIs.
Furthermore, we also identified gaps in the way companies understand and deploy their governance and development of regulatory compliance architecture, how it is diffused through the organisational structures and indeed the ability of everyone within the company key personnel to understand how these key elements of operational health in all sizes of business entities should be implemented and maintained.
Companies and government entities have been employing graduates, or even people with lengthy, but hollow job track records just to manage the process of outsourcing both communication and governance functions without the nous to gouge the efficacy of the solutions they are paying for.
We want to empower these employers and SMMEs to know when the necessity arises to outsource these intrinsic components of business/organisational operations and to be able to gauge value based on predetermined KPIs.
