Jane Eagar

I have been in content marketing for 16 years, having established my design career as an award-winning art director at South Africa's premier travel magazine, Getaway for12 years. A multi-faceted designer, I curate the overall creative vision on brands and titles and constantly review, rethink and redesign to ensure that content produced remains original, appealing, engaging, relevant and effective at all times. 

I have vast experience on lifestyle, retail, financial and medical brands like Mercedes, Evergreen Lifestyle, Multichoice, City Press, Hip2B2, Pam Golding, Ackermans, Netcare, Life Healthcare, MediClinic and Bankmed, I have also established myself as an internal and corporate communications specialist, having produced work for FNB, SAB, Ackermans and Pep.

I have art directed 5 Pica* Award-winning titles (*South Africa's magazine 'Oscars'), and have been awarded numerous times for design and typography in SA and internationally. I have been lauded for my work on a number of occasions at the Content Council Pearl Awards in New York City. As an editorially-driven art director, my core strength lies in strategic thinking and conceptualising ideas around content and applying this insight to original and creative execution: be it print, online, mobile or video.

Design experience covers magazines, ebooks, corporate communications, infographics, digital design, social media collateral (banners, Google display ads, social media posts etc); conceptualising and art directing photographic shoots and videos as well as commissioning illustration. As part of a team, deciding on strategies and creative execution for new business pitches and re-designing existing products all to ensure effective communication through original content solutions. I also have extensive experience in project management and all aspects of meeting deadlines.
