Razia comes with a mainstream media background, primarily in digital, with over 13 years’ experience in digital marketing and social media strategies, operations and day-today implementation. Razia had started off in digital, when newspapers began transitioning to digital, and when social media began booming in South Africa. Razia was one of top four young South Africans chosen to represent digital media in the US, and since then have become a part of the Exchange Alumni, as part of the Young African Leadership Initiative, leading her to cross paths with former US president, Barack Obama.
Her proudest achievement to date is heading Sowetan LIVE and SundayWorld online platforms – and collaborating on successful strategies and operations with Times LIVE, and thereafter co-building an extremely successful digital environment for Independent Media Pty Ltd, which includes a Digital Lab that is now internationally recognised.
