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

This is Kim Kemp, our new Editor and Kimmunications Specialist 😉 Some of her nicknames are Kimbo, Kimbolina, and Kimithy, but we'll keep it simple and just call her Kim. She says that if she could have an unlimited supply of anything for the rest of her life, it would be sunglasses 😎 Her favourite holiday is Christmas, which she spends in Germany with her children. Kim thinks the world we live in is already crazier than any fictional world, so she’d prefer to stay put and enjoy the madness. If Kim could have a celeb bestie, she says she’d choose Meryl Streep, because she could learn a fair amount about growing old with grace, practice accents with her and be stimulated by her intelligence and wit. Welcome to the team, Kim! . . #meettheteam #staffmembers #gbbteam #crazycolleagues #factsaboutus #socialmediamarketing #digitalmarketing #editor #communicationsspecialist #funatwork #news #hardworkers https://www.instagram.com/p/B9TpN4PJNxW/?igshid=1frgh5muutv7c

Meet Ashley, one of our lovely key accounts managers! She is affectionately known as Ash by everyone in the office. Like Junior, Ashley would also love to have an unlimited supply of plane tickets to travel the world. Her favourite holiday is Christmas, because she loves spending time with her family. If she could visit any fictional world, it would be Avatar’s Pandora, because its absolutely beautiful! Ashley says that if she could have a celeb best friend, it would be Kevin Hart, because who could ever have a bad day with him making her laugh all day? Nice to meet you, Ash! . . #meettheteam #staffmembers #gbbteam #crazycolleagues #factsaboutus #socialmediamarketing #digitalmarketing #accountmanager #funatwork #news #hardworkers https://www.instagram.com/p/B9B38MSJ6QG/?igshid=1uhbg45s4nsuq

This is our boss, Jenny! She’s actually a slave to the real CEO, Magenta 🐕, because who could ever resist all that cuteness? In the office, she is affectionately known as the Big Boss, but her friends call her JayTee. It’s no surprise to those who know her that if she could have an unlimited supply of one thing, it would be creativity. She’d love to visit Terry Pratchett’s Discworld, because she loves elephants, turtles, magic and the mysteries of space. If she could choose any celebrity to be her best friend, she says it would be Michael McIntyre, because laughter is the best medicine, and he’s one of the best comedians she’s ever heard. Nice to meet you, Jenny! . . #meettheteam #staffmembers #gbbteam #crazycolleagues #factsaboutus #socialmediamarketing #digitalmarketing #webdevelopers #funatwork #news #bigboss #boss https://www.instagram.com/p/B8dciDwJMDU/?igshid=1602vac9wy9hh

This is Christo, one of our graphic designers! He says that if he could have an unlimited supply of one thing, it would be coffee, and we think everyone in the office would agree 😂 Christo says that his favourite holiday is St Patrick’s Day, and that he’d love to visit the fictional world where he could sleep till 10 AM every day. He says that if he could have a celeb bestie, it would be Aimee Allen from “The Interrupters”, because she’s not only one of the most talented musicians on the planet, but also entirely self-made. She had a rough upbringing and ended up in a foster home at a young age, yet she managed to build herself up into who she is today. Very inspiring! Nice to meet you, Christo! . . #meettheteam #staffmembers #gbbteam #crazycolleagues #factsaboutus #socialmediamarketing #digitalmarketing #graphicdesigners #webdevelopers #funatwork #news https://www.instagram.com/p/B8LWaTOJPtQ/?igshid=87f07vhi1beg

Meet Junior, one of our graphic designers! In the office, he is affectionately known as Juju. Junior says that if he could have an unlimited supply of one thing for the rest of his life, it would be international holiday trips. His favourite thing to do during the holidays is spend time with his family, because they can spend hours and hours chatting and never run out of things to talk about. Junior says if he could visit any fictional world, it would be Asgard (from Thor), because of how scientifically advanced their world is, and because the magnificence of their world shines through their architecture. If Junior could have a celebrity best friend, he says it would be Connie Ferguson, because she is a true visionary, and he thinks he could learn a lot from her in terms of building a successful career. Nice to meet you, Juju! . . #meettheteam #staffmembers #gbbteam #crazycolleagues #factsaboutus #socialmediamarketing #digitalmarketing #graphicdesigners #funatwork #news https://www.instagram.com/p/B75JXYXpf1y/?igshid=fm7c4tb3eoj3

This is Tasneem, one of our amazing DTP operators. She is affectionately known as Tassy 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 kindness. Or food. 😂 Her favourite holiday is Eid, because it reminds her of happy moments in her childhood. Tasneem says that she’d love to visit the Dr Seuss universe, because as much as everything in it is fun and games, there are also important lessons in the stories. She’d also love to be best friend with Ellen DeGeneres, because she seems really cool and down to earth. Tasneem would also be down for one of Ellen’s pranks! . . #meettheteam #staffmembers #gbbteam #crazycolleagues #factsaboutus #socialmediamarketing #digitalmarketing #graphicdesigners #funatwork #news https://www.instagram.com/p/B7nQaeGpLNa/?igshid=i6h7x6u8fflj

Meet the newest member of our team, Bryan! He joined the team this week as our new marketing intern, and he is already getting stuck in and working hard! Bryan says that if he could have an unlimited supply of anything, it would be time, so that he could pursue all his hobbies and interests and become really good at them. His favourite holiday is Christmas, because he enjoys spending time with his family. Bryan says that if he could visit any fictional world, it would be the Guardians of the Galaxy universe, because there are so many different planets to explore and different people to speak to and learn from. If Bryan could have a celebrity best friend, he’d choose Elon Musk, because he is constantly innovating and trying to make a positive impact on the world. Bryan thinks he could learn a lot from Elon, and we think so too!
