Editor’s Letter with Nadia Jaftha, August 2020
About Danielle Weakley
I am the award-winning former Editor-in-Chief of Women's Health South Africa and Editorial Director of Women's Health and Men's Health South Africa. I bring women together through powerful, positive story telling and experiences. Prior to Women’s Health, I was the launch editor of Grazia South Africa - a global weekly fashion glossy - and the editor of Essentials.
My Experience
With three decades in the media industry, working across global brands - first and foremost as a writer and editor and then overseeing strategy, marketing and creative content for print, digital, social media, influencers and live events for two wellness and fitness brands, as well as a female-focused empowerment and entrepreneurial platform. I struck out on my own at the end of 2020, founding Influence Studio, a bespoke content consultancy that specialises in multi-platform, multi-media lifestyle content. We continue to work with media partners like Media24, as well as South African fashion and beauty retailers like Queenspark and Retailability, amongst others. Let’s connect…
My skills
I am highly skilled in content strategy, content creation, writing, social media, marketing and public speaking. And the creative brain behind - and host of - these best-in-country mass-participation fitness and wellness events: Fit Night Out, Secret Sweat Series, Chase The Sun, Ministry Of Fitness, WH Live Festival, #WFH Social Club and Go Hustle - a wholly-local entrepreneurial, careers and empowerment platform for young women.
