I’ve also engaged with Crowdyvest where a monthly download and new user signup 100 – 2000 monthly was achieved.”
“I had a stint with Farmcrowdy, where the brand experienced an increase in weekly sales from $100 to $2000 weekly sales revenue,” he noted.
At Wakanow, he led the digital team that generated N500million in revenue – 500percent incremental flight tickets sales (Go-down-low Event).
Describing his most memorable challenge in the journey, the digital marketing coach said,
“Well, I’d say the year 2020 was it for me when the lockdown dealt a blow to all businesses.”
“I had just got promoted to the role of head of digital at Wakanow. We couldn’t sell flight tickets due to the lockdown, so I had to engage our customers on social media by telling travel stories on Instagram,” he noted.
This simple act saw the brand’s Instagram followers grow from 20,000 followers to 107,000 followers, increasing the email subscribers and making the Wakanow brand trend twice on Twitter.
This increase in followers gave the business a boost in the purchase of flight tickets when the lockdown was lifted and flights resumed.” He noted.
