About Lameez

The creative process is one of the most complex and beautiful parts
of being human. It’s messy, frustrating, enjoyable, and different for everyone.

After graduating top three of my class, I was offered an internship with M&C Saatchi Abel. I spent the next ±4 years (with a short hiatus of 5 months spent at Metropolitan Republic), gaining valuable experience on some of the biggest local & global brands (Heineken Group, Namibian Breweries Limited, Nando’s, Superbalist, Takealot, Standard Bank, Mr. Delivery, Lexus and Nimue Skin Technologies). Much of my time was spent under the leadership of Loeries Board Member, Cannes Jury, and Creative Circle Chairman, Neo Mashigo. During this time, M&C Saatchi Abel was named Agency of the Year (2019). In 2021 I was inducted into the Loeries Youth Committee across the EMEA region working alongside talented and awarded young creatives. I am fortunate enough to have the blessing of formal education and possess both a BA in Creative Brand Communication, as well as a BA (Hon) in Strategic Brand Communication.
My career is more than a paycheck, it’s my way of helping create a better future through great brands. I am a hybrid creative from concept, and client presentations through to production and execution I tackle each element of the creative process with passion and verve. I lead and direct successful 360-degree campaigns (TVCs, films, photoshoots, digital, social, and design) all of which have been recognized by the industry. Being a Gen-Z myself I admire our culture and bring a new perspective to every brief whilst keeping an appetite for new challenges and constantly searching for great ideas at every turn.
Am a fervent collector of vinyl… Make poorly formed pottery bowls (if you can call them that, they double as an interesting conversation piece for your coffee table too) …Take photographs of any neon sign I see. I have plans on turning it into book along with short stories written by yours truly (think along the lines of Brand-New Cherry Flavour, bring on the weird, strange, and downright freaky) …Spend my weekend skateboarding (and failing dismally), creating brands I wish existed (but wouldn’t actually work in real life, for instance: an app that helps you use what you have left in your fridge in order to make a meal and stop waste. I call it Holy Scraps TM), painting and bothering my cat. Did I mention I love food?
