I'm Dyl Fortune — a senior brand, innovation and creative executive with 17+ years of experience building brands across telecommunications, FMCG, retail, banking and insurance. I've led go-to-market strategies and advertising campaigns for some of South Africa's biggest brands, from Discovery Bank and DStv to Coca-Cola and KFC.

I hold an MBA with a focus on business innovation and entrepreneurship (Milpark Business School), as well as a Bachelors in marketing communication and management (University of Johannesburg). I bring the rigour of the boardroom to the craft of creativity — working with brands to extract maximum ROI from their marketing partners and budgets, and deliver efficacy where it is needed most… their bottom line.

Most recently I've extended the toolkit with Google certifications in SEO and data analytics (2025) — because modern brand leadership is as much about data as it is about ideas.
