I’m a writer, marketing communications and strategy professional with extensive experience managing content and public relations campaigns.
Over the years, I’ve taken on social media management, digital marketing, advertising, copywriting, and have a proven track record of developing strategies that drive growth, a career that has spanned work in over 10 industries.
I own and run a marketing and advertising startup called Ndiyo Media.
I am an author too. In 2018, my novel, ‘A Wall Is Just A Wall’ was published by Bahati Books, UK.
In 2020, I self-published my second book, ‘Selling Weed To The Police’, a book on marketing, sales and consumer behavior.
I regularly share opinion pieces and have some of my writings published on The Nation Newspaper, African Spotlight, Sahara Reporters, Premium Times, Happenings Magazine, Praxis Magazine, Times Africa, Rise Networks, among others.
While I have an active presence on most of the social media platforms, I am most active on Facebook where I regularly share takes about marketing, advertising, PR, politics, football and, well, get to piss people off.
