Lagos, Lagos State, Nigeria
I am a thrill seeker. The quest to find unique and strategic ways to tell stories that truly hit home often itches me. It is sometimes what keeps me up at night and sometimes what sends me to an early reverie. I like to regard myself as the modern-day Flash like in The Avengers, but in my case, with the primary obligation to spill the right narratives as fast as possible. I find my thrills when businesses and companies with the vision to contribute immensely to the communities they operate in deliver their messages correctly and coherently through the right platforms, ultimately contributing to the betterment of mankind. I don't think that’s too big of a deal, is it?? I have a penchant for writing descriptively and empirically. But my actions don't stop there! My years of experience have afforded me the know-how to understand my audience well enough and the content they relish and to also tailor the content to their needs. I’d like to believe this strategic ability was birthed while I served my time at the Department of Political Science, Federal University of Ilorin, writing and spewing empirically. All it took was a simple “Conceptualisation” to unleash the torrents of thoughts I never knew were brewing inside of me. In any case, my capabilities have since then undergone a non-stop refinement. The modern-day multimedia approach of storytelling fascinates me even more. Moving away from my thrills, for most of my professional career, I have carried out public relations efforts for companies in the tech, food, Manufacturing and entertainment industries. I have written on strategic issues like Tariff Increase, ROW charges, and Industry Projections, for the telecom sector. I have written case studies, organised interviews on other strategic campaigns in other sectors. I am skilled in Media relations, Stakeholder management, long and short-form writing, influencer engagement, crisis management, creative writing and many more. I create communications plans and execute them accordingly. I also curate brand content (including press releases, news stories, features, op-eds, speeches, social media content, scripts, and more). Throughout my career, I have produced over 100 written content with 70% coverage on tier 1 and tier 2 media platforms. I also create timely reports for all campaigns I've managed, amongst other things. I understand how important the work I do as a communicator is to any brand and I am always excited to take up new challenges.
I worked in the metro and crime department. I wrote unique and captivating news stories and researched for facts and credibility.
