Our Founding Partner, Adebola Williams speaks at Jubliee Christian Centre
Our Founding Partner, Adebola Williams was a speaker at the Entrepreneurial teaching series hosted by Jubliee Christian Centre, a parish of The Redeemed Christian church of God on Sunday October 18, 2015.
He spoke on the topic “Catching the Future”, discussing what it takes to be an entrepreneur;
1) To catch the future you need vision: In business, vision is the capacity to envisage future market trends and plan accordingly. @redmediaafrica we envisaged the millenials ten years ago and started catering for them. We envisaged the youth bulge and engaged them. Which is why today any company that desires to reach the largest number of youth at any time in Africa comes to us.
2) A man without a vision is a man without a future.
3) Foresight. Insight and oversight are key perspectives in sharpening a vision.
4) The most potent way to connect to the future is by solving problems. Creating platforms and solutions to problems in your society and making a business out of it. There’s so much dirt in lagos, the Saturday environmental culture seems dead. Why is no one making a business of this???
5) The Internet is flat and presents a perfect opportunity for enterprise. @uber @houzz @officiallindaikeji @instagram Omoalata.com and many others have shown the power to make wealth from the Internet.
6) Who is an entrepreneur? A person who despite limited resources pursues an opportunity . Someone who creates something out of nothing. That spirit is what you need to bring vision into life.
RED Founding Partner, Adebola Williams speaks at Konga Seller Summit 2015
Our Founding partner, Adebola Williams spoke at the 2015 edition of Konga Seller Summit tagged ‘The New Marketplace: Tapping into the Ecosystem’ held on Saturday October 17, 2015 at the Eko Hotel and Suites Convention Hall.
He Spoke on “How to Influence customers”, sharing few key principles, sighting examples of Red Media Africa’s campaigns over the years;
1) In the Internet age where communication is free which has brought an information overload resulting in 15secs and 140 characters attention span your content must have depth or be outstanding. 2) Less text and more images, that even gets more because it only requires 2 seconds. This was one of the biggest drivers we used on the President Buhari campaign and still remains one of the most key till date.
3) Provoke with your communication. When we took the President Buhari account the first thing we did was to provoke the audience by presenting him like NEVER seen. We broke the Internet and so your brands can do the same.
4) Participation: this is an audience that doesn’t want to be spoken at, they want to be part. When we launched the #GameOn show for Maltina Guiness #GoFashion #GoFootball we began with a huge controversy around which of the two sectors was better off. THis sparked massive engagement for a month then we launched the show.
5) Play: the generation wants to play. Brands and campaigns that have in recent times gotten huge mileage have shared fun with the customers. #Miller recently with its #MIsComing campaign Anakle with their #BridePrice app.
