Hello,
I'm Lolade, Founder —Noticing Africa.
As we are closing off 2021, I and everyone at Noticing Africa want to thank you for being part of what we do.
10 odd non—traditional interviews in 3 months, and we've already surpassed 5,000 subscribers!! Thanks so much to everyone for reading, sharing, amplifying and supporting our work.
This was a big win for our 3—person team.
It all started with a message to one of my pals asking about Enioluwa. My cousin wanted to begin her creator journey and would like to know how Eni (her fav) got interested in content creation, what challenges he's grappled with and everything inbetween. But my pal didn't know. We did some googling, nothing serious came up. It was really shocking. If you didn't know about your favs' early days, how would you be able to take some learnings from them?
Noticing Africa was born to fill this hole I see left in the creative and marketing industry. We all have our stories — the good, the bad, and the ugly. Every leading creative and marketing professional are itching to tell theirs. But no one gave the platform until Noticing Africa.
In 3 months, we were in conversations with:
'Deola A. — Artist Relations Manager (Nigeria) at Boomplay.
Olusegun, Creative Content Strategist at Mavin Records
Milton, Growth and Marketing Manager at Selar
HARRISON — PR & Marketing Manager (Africa) at FTX
Seun — Media & Comms Head at Microvest
Nauteeq, Founder — Prackage
May-May, Digital and Communications Manager at Oriflame Cosmetics.
Ebun, Social Media Manager at Yellow Brick Road.
Seun, former Oppo Mobile PR & Digital Marketing Manager who's currently leading growth for Shara in Nigeria.
Ore, Founder — TOA Marketing.
Thanks to all of you for being part of what we do. You can access all the interviews anytime here: https://lnkd.in/dvDGNqFy
