The mandate of the CBN include Monetary Policy Functions, Issuance of Currency, Maintenance of external reserves, debt management, foreign exchange management, etc.

The CBN also serves as banker’s bank and a banker to the Federal government.

The nature of the operations of the CBN is such that the Bank does not have to advertise or flaunt her functions and activities like regular commercial banks and other financial institutions.

However, the recent plunge of the Country’s economy into recession as a result of factors beyond the control of the bank leadership gave rise to the need for the CBN to give account of its efforts to take the Country out of recession, stabilise the economy and sustain public confidence in the institution.

We were engaged to handle third-party communication for the CBN and we as a necessity had to evolve a template to improve the visibility of the bank on social media.[/fusion_text][fusion_separator style_type=”single solid” top_margin=”15″ bottom_margin=”25″ sep_color=”” icon=”” width=”” class=”” id=””/][/fusion_builder_column][fusion_builder_column type=”1_2″ last=”yes” spacing=”yes” background_color=”” background_image=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” background_position=”left top” border_size=”0px” border_color=”” border_style=”” padding=”” class=”” id=””][fusion_imageframe lightbox=”no” style_type=”none” bordercolor=”” bordersize=”” borderradius=”” stylecolor=”” align=”none” link=”” linktarget=”_self” animation_type=”0″ animation_direction=”down” animation_speed=”0.1″ class=”” id=””] [/fusion_imageframe][fusion_separator style_type=”single solid” top_margin=”15″ bottom_margin=”25″ sep_color=”” icon=”” width=”” class=”” id=””/][fusion_checklist icon=”fa-check” iconcolor=”” circle=”yes” circlecolor=”” size=”small” class=”” id=””][fusion_li_item icon=”fa-child”]Perception Management[/fusion_li_item][fusion_li_item icon=”fa-globe”]Online Advertising[/fusion_li_item][fusion_li_item icon=”fa-users”]Social Media Influencer Campaign[/fusion_li_item][fusion_li_item icon=”fa-video-camera”]Video Documentaries[/fusion_li_item][fusion_li_item icon=”fa-twitter-square”]Tweet-Meet Engagement[/fusion_li_item][/fusion_checklist][/fusion_builder_column][fusion_builder_column type=”1_1″ background_position=”left top” background_color=”” border_size=”” border_color=”” border_style=”solid” spacing=”yes” background_image=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” padding=”” margin_top=”0px” margin_bottom=”0px” class=”” id=”” animation_type=”” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_direction=”left” hide_on_mobile=”no” center_content=”no” min_height=”none”][fusion_tabs design=”classic” layout=”horizontal” justified=”yes” backgroundcolor=”” inactivecolor=”” bordercolor=”” class=”” id=””][fusion_tab title=”Perception Management” icon=”fa-bullhorn”]We embarked on perception audit and management on the CBN. We strove to improve The CBN’s public perception and project its activities in revamping of the economy. As a result, there has been a considerable improvement in the public perception of the image and work of the CBN. This resulted in the predominantly young social media audience to become more acquainted and aware of the Organisation’s activities.
In fact, the Country’s exit from recession has been largely and widely perceived as a result of the CBN’s management of the country’s monetary policy frame work.[/fusion_tab][fusion_tab title=”Social Media Influencers Outreach” icon=”fa-users”]We engaged Social media influencers to help project our work and the activities of the CBN.

The Challenge

In the build up to the 2017 National convention of the Peoples’ Democratic Party, we were mandated to run a social/digital media campaign for PDP National Chairmanship Candidate, Prof. Tunde Adeniran.

The aim of the campaign was to give our candidate improved social media visibility and improve his chances of success in the elective convention.[/fusion_text][/fusion_builder_column][fusion_builder_column type=”1_1″ background_position=”left top” background_color=”” border_size=”” border_color=”” border_style=”solid” spacing=”yes” background_image=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” padding=”” margin_top=”0px” margin_bottom=”0px” class=”” id=”” animation_type=”” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_direction=”left” hide_on_mobile=”no” center_content=”no” min_height=”none”][fusion_separator style_type=”none” top_margin=”” bottom_margin=”” sep_color=”” icon=”” width=”” class=”” id=””/][fusion_text]
