According to a statement issued by the firm, Mr Asekun is joining Explicit Communications after working at different reputable agencies in the country for many years, including Brooks and Blake, where he worked as a consultant and project manager.

For Ms Kehinde, she would be responsible for new business development, managing client services, strategic integration and planning of all inputs into brand management at Explicit Communications. Business Post gathered that she joined Explicit Communications from Dijo Communications where she worked as the Head, New Business Development.

On the part of Mr Ibekwe, whose works have won in LAIF Awards and other marketing industry awards, he would be responsible for strengthening the company’s creative team. Mr Ibekwe is a seasoned copywriter who has worked on alcoholic, non-alcoholic, FMCG, telecom and other interesting accounts.
