David Odunayo Ikogwe

I am a creative marketing strategist and designer with a strong background in building impactful campaigns and designs for leading Nigerian and global brands. With over three years of hands-on experience, I specialize in blending strategy, design, and storytelling to help brands grow, connect with their audience, and achieve measurable results.

My career began as a junior designer and content intern, where I worked with Chivita, UBA Foundation, and RedTV. I gained experience researching trends, creating social media content, and designing visually engaging campaigns. From there, I took on a Design Associate role at Daydreams Marketing, where I led projects for Coronation Insurance, Titan Trust Bank, Enterprise NGR, and Lotus Bank. My work spanned social media designs, brochures, campaign materials, and promotional content — including high-profile initiatives like the Lotus Abeokuta Marathon and the Titan Trust Bank Breast Cancer Campaign.

Alongside design, I developed my expertise in strategy during my time as a Marketing Strategist at Anakle, where I collaborated with Spotify, Access Bank, Glo, Esorae Luxury, and ALX. I was directly involved in campaign ideation, strategy development, and implementation — experiences that sharpened my ability to craft innovative, audience-focused marketing solutions. My internship at Anakle also gave me real exposure to working with top-tier clients, industry-standard processes, and the importance of blending creativity with results-driven thinking.

As a freelancer, I have worked with brands like BO Properties and Swift Logistics, managing social media, promotional design, and campaign execution. I also collaborated with Transcorp Power, where I redesigned safety signage, created Annual General Meeting materials, and developed corporate branding assets. These diverse projects gave me a well-rounded ability to adapt to different industries and client needs.

What sets me apart is my dual strength: I bring the eye of a designer and the mind of a strategist. I understand how to translate business objectives into creative ideas and how to turn creative ideas into designs and campaigns that resonate. My approach is proactive, detail-oriented, and always guided by a clear vision of impact.

Ultimately, I am passionate about helping brands tell their stories in ways that are both visually compelling and strategically sound. Whether through campaign strategy, brand storytelling, or design execution, I thrive on creating work that leaves a lasting impression.
