Professor Lebogang Mototo teaches me my marketing course at the University Of Cape town. She accomplished a double major in Marketing and Psychology and also did her Masters from the University of Witwatersrand Aaaaannnddd is also working on a PHD! She is exceptionally driven, conscious about her environment and very open to new perspectives and opinions. Her goal is to prepare her students for a lot more than the "basics of advertising" as she prides herself for being a lecturer who is not afraid to bring attention to "the real world" and hence, puts marketing into incredible context. 

 

In this episode we spoke about films, representation and recognition of race, genders and cultures in companies, how Spiderman and Black Panther compare, the consumer protection act, local and international brands, the amount of research that went into writing a paper for a Masters study, marketing(obvs) and Nutella! 

 

I was in awe of the extent of her knowledge about current affairs and events of the past. She invited me into her office where we spoke about the podcast and what keeps her going. I quickly picked up on the sincerity in her intention to teach and also what drives her to stay on top of her own academics while constantly keeping up with the world order. Thoroughly enjoyed this conversation :) 

 

Hope you enjoyed this episode!
