STYLE & STORIES PORTRAIT PORTFOLIO: Bettina Horvath


BY ERIKA

I met Bettina Horvath only about a year ago when I attended a social media workshop she presented in Somerset West.

But in this year she has become such an integral part of Martin and my life on both a professional and personal level, it feels as if we have known her forever.

What I know about marketing a photographic studio on social media and using email, I have learnt from Bettina.

When I joined Xtraordinary Women there was Bettina, ceaselessly supporting inspiring and teaching.

And then we collaborated with Bettina the actress, marketer and director and self-confessed ‘drama queen’ at the Playhouse Theatre in Somerset West.  

As a master facilitator, Bettina has given Martin Van Niekerk Photography the opportunity to photograph the people and productions at the Playhouse, a job he thoroughly enjoys.

But now Bettina is leaving.

After 17 years of marketing, selling, training and shaking up the inbound marketing scene in South Africa, she and her son are going home to Vienna, Austria to do the same there, of that I am sure.

We wish you all the best Bettina, and we will miss you but if there is one person who will use all technology has to offer to stay in touch and to continue inspiring, it is you.

Auf wiedersehen!

PS: Bettina's STYLE & STORY

Typically Bettina style, her leaving will not happen quietly, no, she is going out with a bang! 

Amidst packing up and organising her new life thousands of kilometres away, she is still managing to direct  Sleuththe classic thriller by Anthony Shaffer which opens on 24 July.
