What I'm looking for

I am looking for a dynamic role in a creative environment that values innovation and consumer insights, where I can contribute to impactful marketing strategies and grow my skills.

I am a creative and result-driven Political Science student with hands-on experience in brand marketing, campus activations, and consumer engagement. My journey has allowed me to work with top FMCG brands like Indomie and Sprite as a campus ambassador, where I successfully built strong peer influence and brand affinity. I am passionate about brand storytelling, consumer psychology, and marketing strategy, and I am eager to contribute to a forward-thinking team where innovation and impactful marketing intersect.

During my time as an Indomie Campus Ambassador, I spearheaded brand activations across Olabisi Onabanjo University, directly engaging over 1000 students through sampling events and interactive games. My role as a Sprite Student Ambassador further honed my skills in facilitating brand games and gathering peer feedback to inform future marketing strategies. Additionally, I served as a Media Public Relations Manager at Louis XIV Africa Business, where I led strategic communication efforts to enhance brand visibility and customer trust.
