The chief executive of Red Circle Digital Agency, Mr Emmanuel Dairo, has joined the ForbesBLK, a platform and community that amplifies the voices of Black entrepreneurs, professionals, leaders, and creators.
This is the latest feather in the cap of the 24-year-old digital marketing maven, who was awarded the winner of the professional services category at the 25under25 Awards held in October 2022.
ForbesBLK champions a global community of Black entrepreneurs, professionals, leaders and creators that are driving systematic change in business, culture, and society.
The ForbesBLK Certificate of Membership presented to Mr Dairo is a testament to the acceptance and recognition of Black leaders and talents in the professional spaces which aligns with the Forbes goal to break down barriers while creating more equitable economies and driving a new culture of connection, collaboration, and change.
Speaking on this, he said, “I am super excited to add another one of the many to come. Joining this community is welcoming because it cements our place at the table that, as a people, we are leaders, we are disruptors and innovators, and we are change makers. I will use this platform to help my community and facilitate more goal-oriented projects.”
Some of the benefits include networking and mentorship opportunities, exclusive access to community members and leadership forums, discounted access to events, including the Forbes Under30 Summit, as well as access to informative content from leaders across industries.
The Red Circle CEO started out as a graphics designer and, over the years, has impacted a lot of lives with his learner initiative, where he trains youths for free on graphics design, digital marketing, and many more. He graduated from the Nigerian Institute of Journalism (NIJ) and 02 Academy Lagos.
He recently launched Bloopers, a digital community for young and futuristic creatives with disrupting ideas.
Red Circle Digital Agency is a Digital Marketing and Public Relations agency with the sole aim of exposing and connecting brands to their audiences through strategic ideas and innovations.
Last year, he emerged as the 25under25 entrepreneur in the professional services category in Lagos, going home with a N100,000.00 cash prize as well as becoming a Fellow eligible to benefit from a Forbes Africa mentorship programme, which will help him and other nominees and winners to explore opportunities including making a list of Forbes 30 under 30.
The award also opens priority access to venture capital partners to explore funding opportunities for businesses.
