Real Campaigns.
Real Numbers. No Fluff.

Three projects that show how I work, how I think, and what happens when strategy meets execution and consistent iteration.

~₦20M
Single Month Revenue
8,999+
Email Subscribers
500+
Course Sales

The Challenge

A growing music marketing brand was running disconnected campaigns with no real system linking ads, DMs, email, and sales. Engagement existed, but there was no predictable engine turning attention into revenue.

Email was underused, lead capture was fragmented, and each launch depended too heavily on manual pushes instead of compounding automation.

My Approach

I built the complete funnel. Meta Ads drove cold traffic, ManyChat captured intent inside Instagram DMs, Flodesk handled segmentation and nurture, and the landing and sales flow tied everything together.

The focus was not isolated tactics. It was system design. Each touchpoint moved people forward to the next step, which made scaling possible without breaking the backend.

The Result

In September 2024, the system produced approximately ₦20M in a single month. The list grew to 8,999+ high intent subscribers, and a stalled course launch recovered to 500+ sales.

The audience also strengthened as a business asset, with @soundisruptr growing from 8,786 to 34,900 followers while conversions became more consistent.

Phase 1, Infrastructure Build
Set up campaign structure, built ManyChat flows, configured segmented email logic, and mapped the journey from cold click to purchase.
Phase 2, Testing
Tested creatives, DM hooks, audience angles, and email sequence logic, then cut weak paths early.
Phase 3, Optimization
Scaled winning sets, expanded segmentation, and tightened the handoff between paid media, automation, and email.
Phase 4, Record Month
With the system aligned, traffic came in efficiently, the automation captured demand, and email converted that demand into daily revenue.

African Food and Drinks Festival 3 Week Turnaround

Campaigns

The Challenge

I came in roughly three weeks before the event with no working funnel, no warmed audience, and very little room for slow organic momentum to do the heavy lifting.

The campaign needed urgency from day one because every missed day meant fewer ticket sales and less room to recover.

My Approach

I built the campaign stack in parallel, not in sequence. Meta campaigns, audience segmentation, urgency driven messaging, and email support all went live fast and were refined daily.

Instead of protecting underperforming ideas, I cut weak ads quickly, shifted spend to the winners, and leaned into scarcity messaging across every active touchpoint.

The Result

The campaign generated approximately ₦2.74M in ticket revenue in under three weeks, drove 15,108 attendees, and sold 16,694 tickets across available tiers.

It also proved I can build and manage complex launch pressure without losing control of the numbers or the execution pace.

Week 1, Deployment
Launched 51 Meta campaigns, stood up campaign logic, and aligned event messaging around urgency and action.
Week 2, Reallocation
Watched performance daily, killed weak campaigns fast, and moved spend toward the highest intent segments.
Week 3, Final Push
Turned up urgency, retargeted warm audiences aggressively, and kept the message tightly focused on limited access and last chance intent.

Social Growth Across Music, Entertainment, and Brand Accounts

Accounts: @soundisruptr, @xclusive_pikin, @balance.music.rec
Timeline: Apr 2023 to Dec 2025
Role: Social Media Marketing Manager
+297%
Instagram Growth
+1,473%
TikTok Growth
120K+
Combined Reach

The Challenge

Three separate accounts, three different audience behaviors, and one requirement, growth that actually supports future sales and launches instead of vanity alone.

The job was to build reach, keep the content consistent, and make sure the audience quality stayed strong enough to convert later.

My Approach

I built platform specific content systems, matched content formats to channel behavior, and aligned publishing with launches, promotions, and campaign windows.

Paid support was used selectively to amplify what was already resonating, which helped turn organic winners into stronger growth loops.

The Result

@soundisruptr moved from 8,786 to 34,900 on Instagram, @xclusive_pikin moved from 1,634 to 25,700 on TikTok, and @balance.music.rec grew from 480 to 6,388.

The bigger win was audience quality. Engagement stayed healthy while the follower counts rose, which made the growth commercially useful.

Content System Build
Mapped recurring content formats, platform specific hooks, and posting rhythms that could scale consistently.
Audience Learning
Tracked performance patterns, refined formats, and doubled down on what generated shares, saves, and higher quality attention.
Growth Acceleration
Blended content consistency with paid support where needed, helping strong assets travel further without losing brand fit.
