It was an exciting Thursday on Twitter as the OSG team had an interesting tweet chat session with the amazing content creator, Folayemi Joshua. Heres the conversation you might have missed:
Q: Hey guys!!! It’s time for the #OSGtweetchat with @folayemijoshua_ . Hello Folayemi??
Ok, let’s get to it. . Can you tell us a bit about yourself?
Folayemi – My names are Joshua Tosin Folayemi; Lawyer, Fashion, Lifestyle & Media Enthusiast. 2nd child of 5 born in Lagos, Nigeria
Q- Great great! . How was the just concluded #LagosDigitalSummit? .
Folayemi – The just concluded #LagosDigitalSummit was a huge success I must say. It was an avenue for digital heavyweights & enthusiast as well as fintechs, communication gurus and the likes to come together and deliberate on the future of Digital in Nigeria.
I would say we can only look forward to better and bigger editions in the future. But in all the 2018 #LagosDigitalSummit was a great success! #OSGTweetchat #folayemijoshua
Q- Nice!! We can’t wait for the next one. Can you tell us about the challenges you faced during that period?
Folayemi – Personally, I was serving in various capacities to ensure the event was a good success. At that time I was just posted to serve and it was quite challenging having to work from camp and sort out things in Lagos but I am really grateful the event turn out great. Then when you have to work with a lot of hands, it’s always challenging cause of various human characters. So I had to manage so many personalities & make sure everyone did what was expected of them as at when due. But in all it was a learning process for me.
Q- We’re glad it was a success. . Tell us a bit about the “Folayemi brand”
Folayemi – Lol, I would call it a Folayemi Joshua brand. I am a Lawyer and a practicing one. I have interests in fashion, lifestyle and the media space too. I am a Manager with @MustardelsMedia and I would be launching a fashion line soon! So watch out #OSGTweetChat
Q- Great great, sounds really prestigious. Since you are basically a digital market, what are your thoughts on digital marketing in Nigeria?
Folayemi- Well, to put the records straight, I am not a Digital Marketer. Digital Marketing is a whole lot than just having a lot of followers on social media and putting such title on your bio. People get trained to be Digital Marketers & …Which is totally different from the work of a digital marketer. A Digital marketer is more about strategizing, knowing the best medium to reach your target audience and there are various tools and ways they get to know these…..I don’t have a problem with people being Digital Marketers but get the relevant training so we don’t just have a saturated industry filled with people without thorough knowledge of that field. Thanks
Q- Interesting!!! . How is it being a “content creator”?
Folayemi- Okay…a content creator as the name implies is to create content ??. Well a content creator helps develop pieces/graphics/write-ups that are being posted on various social media platforms. It’s always fun having to create stuff from nothing you know, It’s being a fun ride having to create contents for social media pages and campaigns. Thanks
Q- Lool great!! . On a final note, who are the few individuals you look up to??
Folayemi- I don’t have particular persons I look up to but I have diverse persons I pick one or two things from in various areas. Few of them are my parents, elder brother, @iSlimfit my Oga boss, Mai Atafo, Swanky etc the list is endless
Q- Lol great great.
Well we’ve come to the end of another #OSGtweetchat. Thank you for doing this @folayemijoshua_
Folayemi – It was an absolute pleasure. ??????
The OSG tweet chat is held every thursday by 1pm on the twitter platform. Make sure to watch out for the next session!!!
