The biggest mistake that kept me stuck as a brand specialist…

I thought my brand had to be “for everyone.”
So I tried to design in every style.
I tried to please every type of client.
I watered down my message so nobody felt left out.

Here’s the truth I discovered 👇
➔ When you try to be for everyone, you become for no one.
➔ The wrong audience will drain you.
➔ The right audience will pay, stay, and refer you.

The day I stopped chasing “everybody” and started focusing on intentional creators & professionals… everything changed.

My positioning became sharper.
My storytelling became simpler.
My results became stronger.

Your brand is not for everyone.
The day you accept that → your real growth begins.

So here’s my question to you 👇
Who exactly is your brand for?

___________________________________________________________

👉 Follow for bold, human takes on branding, identity & growth.

WIP 🔥

You know that feeling when a client has tried multiple designs elsewhere, gotten frustrated, and is almost giving up hope? Yeah… that was the case here.

He told me: “I’ve seen different versions, none felt right.”
And honestly, I love situations like that -- because it pushes me to dig deeper.

So I did what I always do: research. I don’t just open CorelDRAW or Illustrator and start dragging shapes. I study. I ask:
👉🏽 What does the brand stand for?
👉🏽 What emotions should it give off?
👉🏽 How do we make it memorable?

That’s how the icon came alive -- a blend of a house silhouette and a shield form.

Haven = home + protection. Simple, but powerful.

The color choice wasn’t random either. Green = growth, stability, wealth. Yellow = warmth, optimism, light. Put them together, and you get a brand that feels safe but also welcoming.

And the best part? First draft. He loved it immediately. No back and forth. No “hmm, can you tweak this?” -- just: “Yes, this is it.”

For me, that’s the win. Not just making a “fine logo,” but crafting something that actually feels like the brand.

I’m grateful for every project like this. And if you’re building something new (or rebranding), let’s make sure your identity tells the right story too.

📌 My DM is open for brand identity gigs.

In every corner of Lagos, you’ll find local mallam stalls and neighborhood kiosks.

They sell essentials - rice, oil, bread, soap, brush, snacks - but if you look closely, you’ll notice one thing: no clear name, no colors, no signage, no consistency.

One day it’s “Abu Provision,” tomorrow it’s “Blessing Stores,” next month it’s painted over by a cousin’s football jersey design.

Now enter Bokku Mart - a brand that, just three years ago, was another neighborhood grocery store.

But they made one smart decision: 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺𝘀𝗲𝗹𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆.

𝗖𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲, 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗿𝘀, 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗴𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗼, 𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗼𝘂𝘁𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮 𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗰𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗦𝘂𝗿𝘂𝗹𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗿 𝗜𝗸𝗲𝗷𝗮. ☺️

Suddenly, Bokku wasn’t just another roadside grocery store, they became trusted. 💪💯

Locals who might skip Shoprite or SPAR because of distance or pricing saw Bokku as a closer, familiar alternative, with the same reliability. ☺️

They weren’t the cheapest; they weren’t the biggest; but they were consistent, and that won hearts and wallets fast. 🥇

Most local retailers in Nigeria make the dangerous branding mistake of thinking, “It’s just a shop, I don’t need a brand.”
But a scattered, inconsistent look confuses customers and kills loyalty.
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗻’𝘁 𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗶𝗳 𝗶𝘁’𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗲𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗼𝗿, 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗿𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘆.

Bokku understood this early - and that’s why they’ve trumped older players and even carved space beside giants like Shoprite.

𝗜𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻, 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. Remember: 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝘀 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝘀 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵.

A few months before the Grama Conference 5.0, I got the opportunity to lead the entire brand design for the event. From that moment, I knew I wanted to do more than just create beautiful designs - I wanted to craft an experience people would remember ☺️ .

I started by designing everything the conference would need - from the event backdrop and photostand banners to the customised tags for participants, panellists, facilitators, the host, keynote speaker, and the entire CX team. Every detail mattered, and I poured my heart into making sure the visuals reflected the energy, professionalism, and vision of the event.

As the conference drew closer ⏳, my involvement deepened. I wasn’t just thinking like a designer anymore - I was thinking like a partner in its success 🤝.

In the weeks leading up to the event, I worked closely with the organisers to make sure all designs were printed, delivered, and set up perfectly ✅.

Even in the final days, I was fine-tuning the slides and polishing the event deck that would later run live on-screen 📽️.

On the day of the event 🌟, I wasn't just relaxed. Wherever I saw a need, I stepped in - because that’s who I am: someone who takes initiative, solves problems, and gives everything to the task 💪🏽.

At the end of the day, I was honoured with an award 🏆 for my contribution to the success of the conference. That moment touched me deeply - not just because of the recognition, but because it reminded me why I love what I do so much🥹 .

Since then, I’ve had potential clients reach out after seeing the work I did, opening up new doors and new opportunities 🚀. And honestly? I’m just getting started. 💪

To every creative reading this: don’t just wait to be told what to do. Think bigger. Be proactive. Show up fully - because people notice, and your impact matters🔥.

If you or someone you know is organising an event, I’m open for event branding gigs - especially for conferences, community gatherings, and projects that deserve to shine🌍✨. Let’s work together! 🤝

The content of the slides is inspired by popular food brands' promotional posters shared online or on billboards to advertise their products. We are all familiar with this type of content.
