WHO WE ARE

Kiara Havenga is the CEO & Founder of Connect Media, a boutique agency that crafts strategic storytelling and growth for premium hospitality, lifestyle and boutique brands.

With more than a decade in digital marketing under her belt, she has guided brands from fledgling to category leaders with content-driven campaigns, influencer strategy, and direct booking activation.

Before founding Connect Media, Kiara led content and digital marketing operations across agencies and in-house roles, building deep expertise in brand voice, paid social, and conversion optimisation. Simultaneously, she has served as Lead Instructor and digital publisher for the UCT Social Media Marketing online short course, a program run in partnership with the University of Cape Town and GetSmarter, mentoring hundreds of students in strategy, analytics and execution.

Her leadership blends creative vision with data rigor: she holds clients accountable to both aesthetic excellence and measurable performance. With Kiara at the helm, Connect Media is more than an agency: it’s a strategic growth partner with deep roots in both marketing education and real-world execution.
