#longpostalert⚠️ So been down with the flu 🤧🤒 but got a chance to do recap of what the last couple of days looked like. What an experience at @awafrica_ and getting learn a lot from industry leaders including, @kevinhart4real . Celebrated one of our own, @siyieyio who won the prestigious AdWeek future female of the year. What an honor and a testament to the work out in. I also got the honor of speaking on the future of influencer marketing and the impact it would have on the continent as well as the future of location services and how it converges with other mediums at #adweek with one @aalextutu . Further a field, we welcomed @eugenembugua to the @africacreativeagency family. Got a chance to set up great things with @kagwemungai for the future In Entertainment. Overall it was a great experience. #takemeback

Honoured. Humbled. Energised. Grateful to be recognised with the Digital Innovation Leadership Excellence Award at the African Prestige 100 Honoris Awards. But this moment is bigger than one person. It is a reminder that Africa’s next chapter will be written by leaders who turn creativity into commerce, technology into transformation, and ambition into measurable impact. To every African leader in the room — thank you for the reminder that African excellence does not need permission. It needs courage, consistency, and platforms that believe in the power of our people. I accept this not as a finish line, but as fuel. Fuel to build. Fuel to serve. Fuel to keep proving that Africa is not the next frontier. Africa is the now frontier. @dentsukenya @dentsussa #AfricanPrestige100 #HonorisAwards #DigitalInnovation #leadership

Stepping into a new country, a new language, and a role that demands clarity,this is what growth really looks like. @raojoel 🩵 didn’t wait for comfort. He chose challenge. From navigating unfamiliar terrain in Mexico to mastering communication beyond his first language, he’s proving that leadership isn’t about ease, it’s about evolution.

Failure isn’t always loud. Sometimes it hides behind metrics, efficiency, and the illusion of progress. @raojoel 🩵talks about what looks like underperformance can actually be misalignment when you optimize everything except understanding. The real lesson: failure isn’t in the numbers, it’s in not listening deeply enough. Watch the latest episode on our YouTube channel. Link 🔗 in bio
