Ayo and I collaborated on several Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) client accounts while at Lowe Lintas, Nigeria. Ayo has proven time and again his aptitude for drawing out great ideas from team members. He portrayed strength in – team building, strategic & creative thinking, and follow-through, starting and seeing each project from exciting start to successful completion. Working with him was unquestionably enlightening

Ayo is a talented passionate Art Director strategist who thinks deeper than Most. A bit of a trend spotter- especially of youth, he works, cool under pressure, in the ATL and BTL arena’s but is always driving to make breakthroughs in the online space. Once he births an idea he crafts it, hones it and crafts it again. See his works for Close Up love Naija and apple I pad. But be prepared if you (subjectively ) do not like an idea……you’ll need to defend why it shouldn’t be ….’cos Ayo will have researched with your consumer, why it should! – Colin Morris Exec CD Lowe lint as, Lagos
