Description
Welcome to the SA Digital Marketing Podcast.
My name is Terence Mentor, and I’m a digital marketer who has realised that since the industry is constantly changing, we need to be constantly learning. I think the best way to learn all the things is to talk people who are doing all the things, so this podcast is a chance to do just that.
