Suhana Gordhan is the Founder and Chief Creative Officer of LoveSong, an independent creative consultancy.
Gordhan believes that everything is made better with love, and so LoveSong was designed to give big love to small brands and more love to big brands.
She has spent the last 20 years navigating the advertising industry, from the University of Advertising – Ogilvy – her first agency, to the hallowed judging rooms of Cannes Lions.
Gordhan’s career highlights include being named one of Destiny Magazine’s Power of 40 Candidates. Gordhan’s work for Coca-Cola featured in Contagious Magazine as one of three campaigns in The World’s Best Strategies. She has won various local and international awards, including Loeries Grand Prix, D&AD, Cannes Lions and Best of Show in radio at One Show. This year, she served as the Jury President of Radio & Audio at One Show.
Gordhan represents South Africa and Africa on the International Board for The One Club. She also serves on The Loeries and the Creative Circle Exco. She is the former Chairperson of The Loeries and the Founder of Open Chair – a non-profit aimed at creating face time between young women and senior industry leaders.
When not making ads, she enjoys people watching and Capoeira – a 400-year-old Afro-Brazilian Martial Arts (often mistaken by her colleagues to be an innocuous dance form).
