Pat on Brands was founded by entrepreneur and marketing expert Pat Mahlangu as a platform to put African brands, youth, and storytelling at the centre of the conversation. What started as a brand consultancy and media platform has grown into a multi-format voice for brand discovery across the continent.
The Pat on Brands (POB) Podcast launched to deepen those conversations, hosted by Pat Mahlangu together with co-host Mpumi Satsha. Episodes feature engaging conversations, insightful interviews, and in-depth discussions on brands, marketing, entrepreneurship, and youth culture. Every episode is recorded on video first, then released across audio platforms, so the full experience lives on YouTube
