I came up with the design strategies for all the brands under the ROAM (Ringer One AfricaMedia) umbrella across Africa. This involves assessing market position and trends and devising advertising strategy. I also introduced new creative methods of visual communication to the group like cinemagraphs, 360 photo, video blogs, hyperlapse and other design trends.I determined how best to represent a concept visually with a user or audience first approach, while also collaborating with marketing teams to develop an artistic approach and style for thematic campaigns that ran quarterly. For these, I also built landing pages in consultation with the Ui/Ux teams to ensure consistency within the brands.

I managed and coordinated on-time delivery of design team tasks across seventeen brands in Africa. This involved coordinating with Business CEOs and the marketing teams on graphics needs through concept ideation to execution and communication on learnings from tests and marketing campaigns. I also spearheaded the training and development of my team.My functional tasks were directing the team to produce short video content, media outreach graphics, edit photos, and offline campaign materials.
