Nwabisa’s creative journey has taken her from Joburg to New York, San Francisco and Amsterdam, shaping how she thinks about ideas, craft and culture. Now a Creative Director at TBWA working on brands like Savanna, she brings a global perspective to the work, grounded in human behaviour and South Africa’s uniquely textured humour. In this conversation, she reflects on working across cultures, what separates a good copywriter from a great one, how she chooses collaborators, and why the ideas that scare you a little are often the ones worth fighting for.
