The Revamp




It’s a beautiful thing when career and passion come together, said someone. Being in the communications profession is now more than a career to me, it has become a passion. Little wonder the first years of my professional life was really about managing communications and general stakeholder management –things the extroverted part of me would like to do.  
  
The last few years have been both interesting and a learning experience. It brings together and summarises my experience as a communications professional. Unlike the first post of this blog that states that this will be a marketing blog – which was what I was doing on the career path at the time, I will be sharing my stories and experiences as a Communications GP – internal and external communications, marketing communications and branding, public relations and stakeholder engagement, media in all its forms and more recently, sustainable development. 
The reason for the title of this post is not far-fetched – The Revamp                                

In all of the few years that this blog experienced a break, one thing readily comes to mind. The need to be back here to do one of the things I love doing, writing and sharing my experiences. In all, I learnt a few lessons which I know will be valuable:

Purpose is a vital foundation- why do you do what you do
Find your passion, then fuel it
Make bold steps and go for what you want.
Be patient even as you trust in your journey
Keep building: self-development is important
Revamp
Revamp by simple definition means to simply improve, make better, give new form, structure and appearance to a mission.  This is exactly what the new improved Tilloppss Says So! is about.

What to Expect:

All Hail the New Business Catalyst: DIGITAL!

Image
Stuck in traffic on my way home in Lagos a few days ago, I couldn’t help but notice the large screen on Maryland Mall – for the umpteenth time. Apart from illuminating the stretch to Maryland, it is a TV of sorts. So I performed a little exercise. I took note of the number of advertisements I saw on that screen within three minutes of the car standing at a halt. About seven in all. From financial institutions to movies, the adverts did two things: caught my attention and I could internalise them. This really got me thinking about how digital is changing the way business is done and indeed changing the world.   Digital as the new business catalyst A catalyst is something that creates a reaction, without itself undergoing any reaction or change. It is also an event or thing that causes great change. The forward looking organisation is adopting digital in the entirety of its value chain: from inbound, to sales and marketing, service and all the support activities that enable...

Brand Wars I

The world is at war. Just like nations, people, are at war, brands too try to outshine themselves in some silent subtle wars. Plus, its a global phenomenon. Brands in various categories and across industries strive to be more visible, gain top of the mind brand recall rate and ultimately, mind and wallet share which culminates in market share. This is really not about the war brand/marketing managers engage in to outshine one another. It is more about the activities engaged in to measure to their key performance indices. This is a 3 part series of evident wars I have noticed in Nigeria over the last few months between brands, people and even institutions... Part 1 is between consumer mobile brands Samsung and Tecno... Lets go there...
