Kevin Matandi

Hi there! My name is Kevin Matandi and I am a marketing manager with a proven track record of developing and executing successful marketing strategies within the airline and travel industry. With over 7 years of experience in marketing and management, I have a deep understanding of the industry and the unique challenges and opportunities it presents.

As a marketing manager at Kenya Airways in Juba, South Sudan, I led the development and execution of marketing initiatives to increase brand awareness and drive revenue growth in the Juba market. I conducted market research and analysis to gain insights into customer needs and preferences and used this information to inform marketing campaigns and initiatives. I am skilled in digital marketing and social media and have a strong understanding of budgeting and financial management.

Throughout my career, I have honed my skills in strategic thinking, team management, communication, and attention to detail. I have a track record of delivering successful marketing campaigns and initiatives that meet or exceed business objectives.

I'm currently seeking new opportunities in marketing, and I'm eager to bring my skills and experience to a new role. I'm particularly interested in Marketing roles and I'm available to start immediately.
