IAB SA: Enabling growth for our People, Brands, Agencies, Publishers, Platforms

2026 Front Row Representative: Amile Buthelezi

My name is Amile Buthelezi and I graduated from the AAA School of Advertising with a Bachelor of Marketing Communication. I currently work as an Account Management Intern at Levergy, where I work with clients across banking, automotive and sports to help deliver immersive sponsorship marketing campaigns and experiences. 

Thus far, my career has been shaped by a passion for building strong relationships, solving complex business challenges, and delivering work that creates meaningful impact. In 2025, I was honoured to receive the IAB SA Digital Rockstar of the Year award, which was a milestone that reflects my growth and commitment to continuously pushing myself within the marketing industry.

What do you hope to achieve through the IAB Front Row?

I hope to deepen my understanding of South Africa’s evolving digital marketing landscape while learning from some of the industry’s most respected leaders. I see this as an opportunity to broaden my perspective, strengthen my strategic thinking, and connect with a community of professionals who will challenge and inspire me as I continue to grow my career.
