This initiative responds to the growing influence of big media and tech companies, highlighting the need for a more sophisticated approach to public affairs.
Led by Nneka Etoniru, EVP of Global Brand Strategy, the group will utilize a combination of communications, media, creative, and technological expertise to drive meaningful change. Etoniru notes the shift in public information consumption and opinion formation, stressing the importance of engaging audiences across all channels in innovative ways.
The Public Affairs Group will cater to a wide array of clients, from private sector corporations to public sector agencies, offering customized solutions to meet their unique challenges.
