Philip Odiakose Tells ‘The Science of Public Relations’ in New Book

Published

The Science of Public Relations

By Modupe Gbadeyanka

As part of his desire to advance the study of Public Relations (PR) measurement and evaluation in Nigeria and Africa, a leading media intelligence expert and PR measurement authority, Mr Philip Odiakose, has launched a new book titled The Science of Public Relations: A Comprehensive Guide to Measurement and Evaluation.

The author said readers will gain actionable insights grounded in global frameworks like the International Association for the Measurement and Evaluation of Communication (AMEC), case studies tailored to African and international markets, guidance on building PR dashboards, auditing campaign performance, and a shift in focus from output to outcomes—moving from guesswork to data-led credibility.

Rooted in over a decade of hands-on experience, this definitive guide helps PR and communications professionals move beyond assumptions and perception-based reporting toward data-driven, objective-led measurement that commands credibility in boardrooms.

As the Chief Media Analyst at P+ Measurement Services, Mr Odiakose has long advocated for evidence-based PR strategies in Africa.

His book provides practical frameworks, real-world case studies, and performance audit techniques that support a shift from vanity metrics to Return on Objective (ROO).

“Public Relations has often been underestimated due to the lack of measurable outcomes. This book delivers a real-world toolkit for proving value and positioning PR as a strategic driver of results,” he stated.

In a major endorsement, respected PR consultant and industry leader, Mr McMedal Olusegun, has been appointed as the official advocacy ambassador for the book.

He will lead efforts to promote its adoption across academic institutions, corporate organizations, and government agencies seeking to reform how communication success is evaluated and reported.

“This book comes at a crucial time for our profession. It demystifies measurement and gives every PR professional—from entry-level to executive—the tools to show impact, not just effort,” Mr Olusegun said.

The book is now available in paperback format in Nigeria and as a digital edition for readers globally.

The paperback for Nigeria can be pre-ordered via selar.com/thescienceofpublicrelations, while the digital copy can be bought via selar.com/thescienceofprebook.

Fringe Wigs Now Available at Twinkles Beauty

Published

Twinkles Beauty

Twinkles Beauty has added fringe wigs to its catalogue, bringing one of the most directional styles in contemporary hair fashion to its growing international customer base. The launch positions the brand to meet demand for a look that has moved steadily from editorial runways into everyday wardrobes, earning a permanent place among the styles modern women return to consistently.

The fringe wig delivers something that most other wig styles do not: an instant change to the entire aura of the face. A well-constructed fringe alters the visual proportion of the forehead, draws attention to the eyes, and produces a finish that reads as intentional and precise. Unlike the bone straight wig, which leads with length and sleekness, or the body wave unit, which leads with movement and texture, the fringe wig leads with structure at the very front of the style. It is a design decision that changes everything about how a look is perceived, and it is why the fringe has maintained its relevance across decades of changing fashion without ever feeling dated.

Twinkles Beauty was founded with a clear commercial mandate: make premium human hair accessible to women who have historically been underserved by international pricing structures and inconsistent quality standards. The brand has built its operational foundation across Nigeria & Ghana before extending its delivery network to customers in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and multiple additional international markets.

Every product in the Twinkles Beauty catalogue, from its frontal wigs to its precision-cut bob units and glueless options designed for everyday wear, is held to the same sourcing and construction standard regardless of the length or style category it falls under.

The fringe wig collection enters that catalogue with the same expectation. Units are constructed from premium human hair, with lace options that blend against a range of skin tones and cap architecture built for secure, comfortable wear. The collection covers multiple length options, meaning a customer who prefers the clean, above-the-shoulder finish of a shorter fringe unit and one who wants the same style at a longer, more dramatic length are both accommodated within the same launch. The fringe detail is consistent across lengths, delivering the defining characteristic of the style at every size available.

The addition reflects a pattern that has defined how Twinkles Beauty has grown its catalogue over time. New collections are introduced in direct response to what the brand’s customer base is purchasing and requesting, not simply in response to broad market trends. This intentional design means the store covers the full range of what a woman shopping for premium human hair actually wants. The collection spans from the ultra-sleek finishes that bone straight and HD lace units provide, to the textured, high-volume options that deep wave and curly units deliver, and now to the sharp, face-framing precision that the fringe collection brings.
