Eight years leading marketing for schools, banks, ecommerce brands and national events. Paid media, SEO, influencer, PR and content, all judged the same way, by what they bring back. Over $1M in ad spend managed across Meta, Google, TikTok, LinkedIn, Amazon and Twitter.

Case study 01

$25K of ad spend came back as $2.5M in school fees.

When I joined Abraham Lincoln American Academy in 2024, almost no premium school in Nigeria took marketing seriously. I set the strategy, ran every channel myself, and in two years it became the most recognised school of its kind in the country.

Paid media

Ad spend that paid for itself

I planned and ran every campaign on Meta and Google, then took the brand onto the streets, with lamppost banners on the roads the school's families use every day.

Influencer

Two years with BamBam

The school needed trust from families, not just reach. I chose BamBam, a TV personality and mother parents already trust, negotiated the deal and ran the partnership for two years.

Organic and social

The most followed school in Nigeria

I grew the school's Instagram from 3,000 to over 59,000 followers. One day in the life video I planned, with every detail and objection settled before it went live, reached over 3.5M plays without a naira of ad spend and was carried by every major Nigerian blog.

Search and AI

Found where parents now ask

Nobody had worked on the school's search presence before me. Today it ranks on Google for competitive school searches, and AI assistants list it among the top tier of premium schools in Lagos, beside schools with decades of history.
