Jon Oliff

I am a Co-Founder and Managing Partner at Tim.africa. With over 15 years of Senior experience in the creative industry, I have a technical background (MCSD and Web Development), a passion for creative communications (BA Media & Coms and BA Hons Brand Leadership), and a love and fascination for technology and its impact on the world.

I work with brands of purpose, directing their budgets and ensuring their efforts align with their values and goals. I also collaborate with a broad collective of global specialists, leveraging their skills and insights to create solutions that answer business needs and generate conversations. I pay attention to my attention and strive to practice exponential thinking and foresight, as this is a long game, and we must play accordingly.

Hello. If we grabbed a coffee or shot the breeze over a whiskey, you'll find out that I have had over 10 years of experience in video, design and photography in both the digital and analogue worlds. Anyone can take a picture or make a video now days (and that's amazing!) but I love to work with teams and clients to help communicate what they have to say or share without loosing their personality or brand in the most effective and efficient way possible. 

Slainte!
