Nigeria’s Media Seal, Bytesize join Worldwide Partners
Media Seal formerly Starcom Media, one of Nigeria’s foremost media specialist companies and its sister agency, Bytesize Limited, a digital company in Nigeria providing end-to-end digital marketing services, have joined Worldwide Partners, (WPI).
Worldwide Partners is a global collective of marketing services providers who share an independent spirit and entrepreneurial drive to build commerce through connectivity, creativity and collaboration. With this strategic move, Media Seal and Bytesize are expected to leverage huge global resources derived from the collective competencies and capabilities of 65+ agencies in over 45 countries.
While announcing the partnership, Ayo Oluwatosin, Group Managing Director, Rosabel Group explained that “the partnership with WPI is one of a kind in the Nigerian market as it is different from the traditional affiliation with holding companies. Essentially, the WPI network operates a unique business model that leverages the collective strength of every partner agency for the full benefits of our clients.”
According to Oluwatosin, there is an in-depth level of synthesis among partner agencies, giving rise to the robustness of marketing solutions and not just media.
Also speaking on the partnership, Lisa Kettman-Kervinen, Executive Director of EMEA, Worldwide Partners said in a statement, “the partnership is to connect, collaborate and to drive each other’s businesses.” She added that like other partners, Media Seal and Bytesize have become shareholders in WPI global network.
For Akin Odunsi, Chairman, Rosabel Group, “the partnership becomes necessary because, our business is global in nature and we need to have a partner that has dynamic global view of the marketing communications business.”
It will be recalled that Starcom Media recently rebranded to Media Seal. This decision the management said, is part of a larger strategic goal aimed at repositioning the business for sustained market leadership in the unfolding new global play.
