What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges me and allows for growth in a dynamic environment, where I can leverage my skills in media sales and advertising.

I am a dynamic and results-oriented Regional Media Sales & Advertising Executive with over 8 years of experience driving revenue growth and executing high-impact advertising campaigns across various platforms including TV, radio, digital, social media, print, and experiential. My career has been marked by proven success in leading cross-border marketing initiatives across Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, and Rwanda, collaborating with top-tier brands, parastatals, and agencies.

At Nation Media Group, I spearhead integrated media solutions for regional and multinational clients, leveraging our platforms to enhance brand visibility. My role involves designing custom campaigns that effectively reach segmented audiences while driving revenue growth through strategic partnerships and content sponsorship opportunities. I have a strong track record in B2B sales, key account management, and stakeholder engagement, consistently exceeding targets and delivering custom client solutions using data-driven strategies.
