Many times, the difference between a successful business and a failing business is simply the quality of information the business owner has access to. The difference between failure or success is simply what you focus your time and energy on.
It is my pleasure to bring clarity to your challenges and help you work your way to success.
My work is largely fueled by my passion to see businesses flourish via simple targeted advertising using the very powerful digital marketing tools that exist today.
I hold certifications with Facebook, Google and the Digital Marketing Institute, Ireland.
SME Training
I am also intensely involved in training and capacity development for SMEs, showing them the simple digital tools that can transform their businesses.
In the last 3 years, I have been involved in several training programs, the most notable being the Boost with Facebook Training Program, where I coordinated a team of trainers across 12 Nigerian Cities in which we trained over 45,000 business owners.
As a solution to frequently requested training by SMEs, I created an online course: Digital Marketing for Business Owners.
BDSPs are certified and licensed professionals who are eligible to consult with SMEs and help them drive their businesses with measurable results. The three pillars of work of BDSPs with SMEs are Access to Markets, Advisory and Access to Finance.
