Bradley Elliott

My passion is growing brands and businesses. As Founder of Platinum Seed, I grew the company to its current form as digital partner to some of the most recognised regional and global brands operating within Africa. Platinum Seed also acted as an incubator for two other businesses I founded: CheqOut, one of South Africa’s first mobile payment solutions [winner of Mobile Monday’s App Of The Year] & Continuon, an Intelligent Social Marketing SaaS platform that helps brands understand their social media data, which has subsequently been spun-off into it's own company. I also co-founded getTOD, an on-demand app that allows users to connect with tradesmen in real-time. In my current role as Chief Marketing & Innovation Officer at Valenture Institute, I'm driven to evolve the secondary education landscape, not only through the delivery of knowledge, but importantly to help our students develop skills that keep them future-fit. Fundamentally, I believe technology is a key enabler in making the world a better place. I speak and write regularly about digital transformation, marketing, ecommerce, data, trust, the new retail and customer centricity.
