Esther Omemu

Writing for TwoCents has been like finding my people—a place where sharing my thoughts actually matters! Not only do I get to dive deep into topics I'm passionate about, but I also get real support from readers through tips and subscriptions.
Plus, the connections I've made with other African creators are incredible. It's not just a place to publish; it's a community where your voice can actually make waves (and earn a few coins while you're at it!). TwoCents has turned my random musings into meaningful conversations
Anita Koske
English Language Teacher/Assistant @ Academie de Versailles
My best friend introduced me to TwoCents, and I remember chatting with Tobi and think how brilliant the platform is!
More than two years later, I still feel the same, the space offers more than just nuggets of wisdom here and there, you can get inspired and even channel your creativity in a great way. There's so much TwoCents has to offer and I can't wait to see what it blossoms into🌸

Top answers from some of our sessions.
Thankfully, I never just dive into spending large sums of Naira, because of the space I work in, I am always able to see what's performing well and change gears very quickly. This is not to say that I have not had some campaigns perform poorly. In fact there was a particular campaign we launched in 2019, it did so well, and we tried it again in 2020 thinking because there are more people online, the campaign will perform better, but it didn't. In this situation, I simply laid out some of the assumptions we made that were wrong, some of the learnings, and how we intended to pick up the slack, because it was a campaign that contributed to our overall goal, so when we realised that we had fallen short, we needed to be creative about how we could get the same traction on other campaigns.

Great reaction!!! Trust me when I say we live in a man's world where for some reason even at the top echelon, woman are scrutinized. I've personally decided to be at my best and in most cases ignore the unnecessary pressures that come with being a woman.
Developing a thick skin too helps in the sense that you don't take everything personally and remain authentic. Lastly, endeavour not to be a people pleasure because women are expected to always be fine with the rubbish that is thrown at them. I maintain my standards and work at being better and I break the rules for a living.
I don't know if this answers your question?

Hello Sarah, I'm glad you found it useful. I just wish I had more experience working with a lot of other brands and also other experts. As you can imagine, our comms team in Oando will not have as many experts in the digital space as an agency that focuses on just digital. In my role, I have been able to work with agencies though so I have picked up a lot from them. I have also just made sure to upskill myself constantly and also worked for other brands in my spare time.

We ask scenario questions and also probe further to get evidence, so we are able to make informed recruitment decisions.For example, rather than asking if you work well in teams, we can ask you to tell us about a time you worked in a team, what the objective of the team was, your role in the team, what obstacles you faced, what would you have done differently etc.Another option especially for fresh graduates is to group candidates and give them case study to discuss. We will monitor how they interact, the quality of their outcomes, etc to evaluate some of the competencies we are looking for.To improve, read about an organization before attending the interview. Prepare well, rehearse to improve your presentation skill, etc

I think that success is subjective. While it may seem that I've had a straightforward, uncomplicated trajectory to where I am now and that I've already made it, the journey has not been that simple, and I honestly haven't accomplished the majority of my goals in life. Up to this point I've often gone with the flow in choosing my experiences and prioritized doing things that I feel will be beneficial to others, particularly those in my community. This remains one of my guiding principles today.In terms of the ups and downs, I've had low points in my academic career while having wonderful moments in my personal life, the reverse, and periods where everything felt like it was going great or horrible. University at every level is an emotional experience. As I've grown up and reflected on the past, some things that I would consider extremely low moments may just have been inflated by my perception of the situation, being so young, and not having any long-term experiences in a non-academic setting. As I've grown older and been placed in many more serious personal and professional situations, I've realized that it's not the difficult moment itself that is challenging, but the process of dealing with it, moving forward, and maintaining mental resilience through it all. Our life is the creation of our mind. If I could give any advice to my younger self, it would be to protect the thoughts and energy I let into my mind, and prioritize taking care of myself in the present, no matter how focused I am on the future.

I think it is very important for brands to reflect their target audience. This is the time of being 'WOKE' but it must be done right. Compare Gillette's advert We Believe: The Best Men Can Be and Nike's advert with Colin Kaepernick. Gillette's advert didn't do well because people could into just buy into their message. Brand Managers needs to start considering cause marketing but need to be mindful it may back fires BUT they should always remember there was a motivation for doing it. Brand Managers could definitely use it to engage and connect with their audience. The audience sees the brands on their side, feel emotionally connected and willing to patronise.

Hello Michael, You must treat your competition like your best friend, you always need to be ware of what steps they are taking, so you can stay one step ahead. In some instances, partner with your competition, they already have target audience you need, why not tap into that, if they are happy to.
Toyin Jolapamo

Awesome question. Technology is here to stay, always evolving and its best to get with it. When the pandemic started shows became an irresponsible thing to do and we saw a few fashion brands think big, we saw a 3d fashion show. No one had to leave their house to see Hanifa’s collection. It was impressive that the first fashion house to do it was an African brand. There are still so many ways technology can enhance fashion design. The question is if we are ready to do the work. I have a friend who says “how come the only way to measure someone is still with a tape measure” other industries have progressed. I think the best way is to think of ways we can make our processes seamless and easier.
