Fundamentals of Digital Marketing

I worked under the Stage Director of the theatre group of my university to produce The Classics in 2016. I followed his direction for stage design, management and inventory.

Stage Technician

I directed the music unit of the university theatre in the scoring, composing, production and execution of music for its drama performances. I also organized training sessions to improve our output as a team. We created a full album of music and received high praise as the Theatre Group especially during the performance of Inquest in 2018.

Art Director

I worked under the university theatre group's Art Director to score and execute music for its performances. I also designed the print media for the Mawobe drama in 2017.

Assistant Art Director

SSCE

Bachelor of Engineering - B.Eng

I composed and produced music for theatre, podcasts, voice overs, advertising and performance artists.

Music Composer

I started learning the structures of branding and marketing through design, working with my expanding client base to design for start-ups.

I worked mostly on social and print ads for businesses in my university, and in Abuja.

Branding & Marketing Designer, Copywriter

I experienced the Nigerian construction industry. I had hopes of contributing to the establishment of a strong railway network, but I learned that it would require private development instead of relying on the government. My most valuable learning experience was project management and organization, which is Berger's strongest suit.

Industrial Trainee

"Athyna is literally the most amazing workspace I've ever come across. To think that all the things I value can exist in a workplace is astonishing. I'm happy to be in a place where humans respect each other, love the planet, and embrace innovation."

- Walo, at his first job. I still agree. Athyna tried her best to destroy all the preconceived notions I had about jobs.

It was awesome, and has made me a better employer.

Copywriter

Reconnecting Africa's talent pipeline to our economy.

After publishing Ewa Agoyin & Dodo: The Recipe for a Happier Student in 2019—a personal systems manual for African outliers—I realised the story was only beginning. The feedback confirmed what I had tested repeatedly on my own and my friends' academic fate: you don't have to be smart to pass; you just need to master the systems.

Today, we are building the community and tools that bring that manual to life, reconnecting raw African talent to our economy, and creating content to tell the histories they’ve been wanting to hear.

System Architect

I led a team of 6 people to publish a self-help book for Nigerian students, and we evolved our mission to become Recess, a company that uses educational psychology to improve how we learn. We began building the brand, but we had to put the plans on hold. Recess is definitely in my goals for the future.

Creative Director

Here's how it went:

I started off at Athyna with the enthusiasm that came from finding people I could connect with; the world is full of problems, and we wanted to do our best to solve them.

Not long after I settled into the Copywriter role, my responsibilities shifted.

My manager (then) helped me improve my sales copywriting and I was responsible for the brand's copy in every form, and conceptualising virtually all marketing campaigns starting from a small budget to quite a big one. (DM me for details.)

I cohosted 2 company podcasts; Too Rare To Die and Good News Travelled Fast. I met some amazing entrepreneurs I'd probably never have met on my own at that time. They expanded my mind.

"Makes everyone comfortable in our virtual office", I paraphrase, but I was considered for Head of Remote and this was my first corporate job after years of contracting/freelancing.

I revamped the old website's copy and collaborated to write the copy for the new one. Worked on SEO with my manager t

Digital Creative

Social Engineer

Working at Femak exposed me earlier than some of my colleagues to all the soft skills I would need to work with other people. I made great friends, learned AutoCAD design, specialized in geotechnical fabrics and co-supervised the development of the mini stadium at AISA, Abuja.

Making school easier for struggling students using research and digital technology, to help them find their balance early. After publishing Ewa Agoyin & Dodo: The Recipe for A Happier student in 2019, we're building community and using our learnings to build tools and creating content around the book to support their academic journey.

Educational Psychologist

Spearheading marketing campaigns & branding decisions for B2C & B2B companies that actually care about solving problems in their market.

If you believe your business is good, you'll need even better marketing, from philosophy to evergreen content.

I understand my role in the universe as a cornerstone environmental biotechnologist for the emerging bioeconomy in Africa built on versatile algae.

Nigeria/Africa prospers because I was here, beyond my wildest dreams through our reconnected talent pipeline.

Founder

Using my experience recruiting & supporting remote teams to help Nigerians/Africans worldwide transition to sustainable remote work quickly.

Recruitment industry knowledge + Branding & Marketing knowledge = HRQ.
