About Tamara Maqabangqa

Tamara Maqabangqa is an entrepreneur, content creator, and marketing initiator. She has a BA, majoring in Philosophy, Psychology, and English, and an Honours degree in Philosophy and English, both from the University of Fort Hare. She has developed her current skills by taking multiple online courses, including but not limited to Marketing Psychology, Marketing Analytics, Social Media Management, Copywriting, Podcasting, and Verbal Aikido.

She sees the practical implications of other people’s visions and thinks clearly about what it takes to make things happen. She’s not afraid to tackle a job, to start something, or to take practical action. She can spot and usually resolves practical issues quickly. She has an intuitive sense of the needs and wants of others and has a sense of right that causes her to raise her voice on behalf of others who may be overlooked. She doesn’t need to be in the limelight and has a servant’s heart that genuinely loves to serve others. She’s the oil that keeps the more glorious parts of the organisation from getting stuck.

Tamara is currently the Founder and Creative Director at Alaking Creatives, a marketing agency that places a strong emphasis on branding and creating content with a human touch. She’s a highly intuitive problem solver with a better sense than most about what it takes to get things done. She loves to bring things to a close. Niche Up and Double Up is the first book she’s brought to life after writing over two dozen books (many under the same genre) as a ghost-writer.
