I'm Andrew Thompson, a Cape Town-based freelance writer and photographer.

I’m a slightly weird mix, professionally, too. I love to travel and write about it; but I also have a deep passion for exploring topics that lurk on the periphery of the business world.

I once won a regional Vodacom Journalist of the Year award for Innovation in Journalism for an article that appeared in the Financial Mail.

I appear regularly on commercial radio stations and television to discuss my articles and specific specialist topics in the technology, business, and travel realms.

On the brand side, I've consulted and written for Uber, Sage, Shoprite, Checkers, Yoco, Eurail, Peach Payments, Naspers, NanaWall, NETs, and several of the country’s leading banks.

In 2020, I conceptualised topics and created all content for the Nedbank Bigger Picture portal, which won an IAB Bookmark Award for Excellence in Digital Content Marketing.
