Meet Louise
Behind The Golden Thread is a deep love for people, relationships and community.I’m a proud mom to two incredible adult daughters, and family has always shaped who I am. They have taught me the importance of love, resilience, commitment and showing up with purpose — values that guide both my life and my work.Six years ago, I made Plettenberg Bay my home, and I quickly fell in love with the incredible spirit of this community. I also noticed that many local businesses, despite offering amazing products and services, struggled to find affordable opportunities for meaningful exposure and growth.That’s where my passion was ignited.I have always loved bringing people together, creating connections and opening doors. With a background in Marketing Management and Entrepreneurship, and over 20 years of experience across marketing, brand management, pharmaceutical sales, events, promotions and business development, I’ve had the privilege of working with brands of all sizes — from national companies to local entrepreneurs.The Golden Thread was born from a simple belief: that connection creates opportunity.It’s about weaving together people, ideas, brands and experiences — creating meaningful touchpoints that help businesses grow and communities thrive.Through TGT, I bring together everything I’ve learnt to create memorable brand experiences — from marketing strategy and events to product launches, brand activations, promotional campaigns, bespoke gifting and connecting the right people at the right time.My purpose is simple:
To transform every customer touchpoint into an opportunity to connect, engage and create lasting impact.I feel incredibly grateful to serve the Plettenberg Bay community and to work alongside passionate business owners who care deeply about what they do.Every project, partnership and relationship is approached with passion, professionalism and heart — adding another golden thread to the story we are creating together.Because when local businesses grow, our whole community grows with them.I’d love the opportunity to be part of your journey.
