Gregor Rohrig is a media professional and entrepreneur, currently COO of Social Code, a dynamic digital agency which he co-founded in 2010.
Prior to moving to Cape Town to start up Social Code he was Head of Digital Innovation at Avusa Media. There he was responsible for overseeing and managing the company’s first digital innovation unit which focused on developing cutting-edge mobile & web applications for the South African internet. During his time at Avusa he was part of a digital swat team that successfully shifted the corporate mindset to think and act digital.
His role allowed him to contribute and grow the digital business which resulted in Times LIVE reaching a record breaking 1 million unique users and over 500 000 unique domestic users.
In 2005 he was invited to exhibit my photographic community project “Project: Pictures for Life” at the Glocal OpenBC event at the World Trade Centre in Rotterdam, and as a solo exhibition at the National Arts Festival in Grahamstown, South Africa.
In 2006 I also co-founded the award winning student resource site, Jo’s Toolkit, which won the highly acclaimed Highway Africa Innovative Use of New Media Award.
In 2007, he was involved in the successful launch of The Times and the conceptualization, implementation and management of The Times Multimedia operation. As the appointed Times Multimedia Production Editor, he oversaw the general technical production of multimedia products; developed rich media style guides and strategies, as well as managing and training a team of multimedia producers.
In 2009, his team was involved in the successful launch of the award winning Times LIVE, the re-branded and re-designed digital home of The Times and the Sunday Times – having further re-developed Times LIVE Mobile, Times LIVE Multimedia, and Times LIVE Blogs. Other projects include, Go2010, Times Explorer, SA Elections.
He has freelanced as a professional photographer for five years, having worked for publications such as The Sunday Times, Mail & Guardian, Oprah Magazine, Glamour, The Daily Dispatch, and Beeld.
