Signature Summit (The Redo): Branding & Digital Marketing; cornerstone of enterprise boom

Taking lessons from other parts of the world, Nigerians could make a unique headway of their own to strengthen the country's economy by identifying entrepreneurship as a window to shifting focus from government to the people. Having for the longer period made inputs to the instrument of government without concurrent gains, a strategic point has come to start considering and channeling efforts towards the alternative.

The Signature Summit lays fundamental procedural groundwork in that direction - to which those who attended its first edition on the 24th of February 2017, at the Cooperative Hall, Obafemi Awolowo University will attest.

Signature NG, a creative, and multimedia (visual communication) agency, upon inquiry into mystery behind enterprise failure and decline in patronage presents an intervention in the form of The Signature Summit on a score - to turn the tide.

Entrepreneurs take their feet off the pedal for reasons they would describe as ranging from limited reserve in capital, sterling ideas, to the right motivation. They however give little or no thought to the opportunities implicit in branding and digital marketing which may indeed offer solutions in surmounting faced challenges. It is note worthy that sufficient take-off funds, ideas, and motivation do not necessarily guarantee sustainable success in business, hence the need to look through new lenses.

The Signature Summit, rather than thread a familiar path; raise funds or discuss the latest 'profitable' ventures, aims at fraughting the participant with practical guidelines to marketing across several media and 'correct packaging' to ensure business ideas are efficiently translated into reality.

The redo edition of The Signature Summit with an objective to, among others, consolidate impacts made by the first edition is classified into conference and workshop sessions and set to hold Friday 24th and Saturday 25th November at Ajose Lecture Theatre, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife.

Speakers expected in attendance at the event include Author, Business Coach, Business Development Expert and strategist, Tale Alimi, Brand Strategist, Author and Digital Marketing consultant, Deola Kayode, Art Director at Fericool Studios, Ogunkunle Tunde, New Media expert and CEO of Media Panache, Timilehin Bello and the Digital PR Consultant at The Robert Taylor Media, Esther Odia.

Tickets are on sale at #1000 (individual pass), #2500 (work group of 3), and available at Syntax, A&G (Thrillhouse) & 5viers. Orders and further inquiries can be made through 08134857106 or signaturesng@yahoo.com

Understanding Prof. Yemi Osinbajo - Abraham Ogbodo

Abraham Ogbodo I am trying to understand Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, the Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Often, he speaks out of character. That is, he talks as if he is Vice President before he is a professor of law, even when I know that the latter comes first. The man wasn’t like this when he was the attorney general of Lagos State and a teacher at the Law Faculty of the University of Lagos. Then, his statements were measured and as a seasoned lawyer, based on facts. But today, Osinbajo is sounding like Adams Oshiomhole, a union leader, who by the grace of God, became governor of Edo State for eight years. The revelations about big thefts in the economy had come more from Adams than even Ibrahim Magu, chairman of the EFCC. It was Adams who said former petroleum minister; Mrs. Diezani Allison-Madueke alone stole 13 billion British pounds from the national treasury. That is like saying she stole in raw cash almost twice as much as the entire fortune of Alhaj...

Much ado about the foreign reserves - Nonso Obikili

I have received a lot of questions about the Central Bank of Nigeria’s (CBN) foreign reserves recently. The CBN has of course been touting the reserves growing from a low of about $24bn to the approximately $42bn it is now. The questions typically centre around why we are keeping so much in reserve when the economy is struggling, and we have poor infrastructure? Why don’t we use the reserves to reduce the poverty that is rampant? The question typically betrays a little bit of misunderstanding over what the foreign reserves are and how the entire thing works. Hopefully, after reading this we will have a better understanding of what it is and what it can and can’t be used for. First, what is the “Foreign Reserves?” It is the amount of foreign exchange that the central bank has at its disposal at any point in time. Some of this is in cash and some in other liquid assets, that is assets that can quickly be turned to cash. Some of this is in US dollars but sometimes it’s in other c...

Boko Haram’s campaign against education and enlightenment - By Landry Signe

Nelson Mandela once said, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” Boko Haram, the Islamist terrorist group originating from Nigeria is frightened by this enlightening power of education. Unsurprisingly, on Monday, February 19, the group, whose name often translates to “Western education is a sin,” stormed a girls’ school in the village of Dapchi in northern Nigeria to abduct students. Of the 907 schoolgirls who were in the school the day of the attack, more than 100 are still missing as of Sunday. Since it became violent about a decade ago, Boko Haram’s actions, through these and other types of bloody attacks, have resulted in horrifying consequences. Human Rights Watch estimates that Boko Haram has left at least 7 million in need of humanitarian assistance, 2.1 million displaced, and 20,000 civilians dead. Local leaders claim the number is significantly higher. Despite such causalities, it took Boko Haram’s massive kidnapping of 276 sch...
