In 2008, I walked into an advertising agency called Noah’s Ark. We all had totems that represented our spirit selves. I was the red fox. The lessons I learned at the Ark helped shape the ad person I am today. Here’s my story written in ads.

FIRST PUBLISHED AD – 2011

My team won the Dulux Paints account and we went on to produce multiple award-winning pieces.

AD: AYO

FIRST TV – 2013

I wrote this TV based on my own experience dealing with cops in my city. Infusing the brand (telecom company) as a solve for the drama felt fun and natural.

SECOND TV – 2013

This story also reflected my life at the time – to an extent. I was the only member of my family living in Lagos and constant communications with my family in Atlanta definitely made a hard situation easier. This was also a story many Nigerians could relate to as lots of people have relatives living outside the country. It felt good to see this commercial brought back in 2020, seven years later.

EASTER PRINT AD – 2014

The holidays are a big deal in Nigeria and Easter is one of the hardest to concept for. This is probably the closest I came to a dope Easter Day ad.

AD: Bayo

PROACTIVE – 2014

The goal is to be in partnership with your client. This often led to a lot of proactive work pushed through.
