Explore our work

As VP evolved beyond its Nigerian roots into a pan-African investment firm, they turned to us to build a brand that reflected the scale of that ambition.

When Paystack looked to consolidate 10 years of product excellence, emerging sub-brands, and new frontiers, they turned to us to give shape to its next chapter.

As Kudi struggled to emerge from the shadow of a more prominent soundalike, they came to us for a reimagining that would eventually give rise to the Nomba the world knows today.

When Nigeria Breweries set out to develop a new drink for an emerging generation, they turned to us to bring that ambition to life.

When Foodlama set out to make grocery shopping simpler for people, they turned to us to give that ambition a name, identity and personality of its own.

As M-KOPA embarked on a major strategic transformation, its digital presence needed to evolve alongside the scale of its ambition and its growing impact across Africa.

As Pesa outgrew its beginnings as a Canada-Nigeria payment service and set its sights on the global market, they turned to us to build a brand ready to cross borders.

When Piggyvest faced mounting competition in 2019, they turned to us to reclaim their position and strengthen their claim on the industry.
