Keesha Tristan Petersen

Marketing Graduate Bridging Data, Creativity and Brand Strategy

I combine business analytics, creative content and practical marketing experience to help brands understand audiences and communicate with purpose.

About me

I completed a BCom in Management Sciences at Stellenbosch University, majoring in Business Analytics and Information Systems Management, and am now pursuing a Postgraduate Diploma in Management in Marketing at UCT. My background has taught me to approach problems analytically, while marketing has given me a way to combine evidence with creativity and consumer understanding. Through my internship and student leadership roles, I have explored event marketing, content creation and brand communication. I am working towards a graduate career in digital marketing and brand management, particularly in FMCG.
