About 5 years ago, a PR expert reached out to me on behalf of her U.S.-based streaming client.
Their plan is to enter the Nigerian market and โchop their own share of the bag.โ
She trusted me because I had handled her **full business launch**โbrand, identity, assets, everything.
On paper, this streaming company looked solid. They already had:
โฏ A main logo
โฏ Logos for 10 channels
โฏ Budget approved
โฏ Big ambition
My role looked simple: to design launch assets, channel creatives, digital ads, and add a few pages to their website.
Then they sent me the website link.
I wonโt lie.....I froze.
The hero section did not speak to anyone.
The copy was confusing.
No clear value.
No trust signals.
No direction.
It was a website ๐ฐ๐จ๐ซ๐ค๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐ ๐๐ข๐ง๐ฌ๐ญ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ข๐ง๐๐ฌ๐ฌ, not for it.
I politely highlighted my concerns and sent feedback to the PR lead. She shared it with the client team.
Two days later, she came back with a message I have heard many times:
โThey disagree. They want to keep it as it is.โ
At that point, I noticed the ๐๐ ๐จ ๐ ๐๐ฆ๐ creeping in.
(That moment when clients insist on their choice just because theyโre paying.)
Instead of arguing, I did what I always do.
I showed them reality.
I went to:
๐ฅ Netflix Nigeria
๐ฅ Prime Video
๐ฅ Showmax
I used ๐๐จ๐
๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐ก๐ซ๐จ๐ฆ๐ ๐๐ฑ๐ญ๐๐ง๐ฌ๐ข๐จ๐ง to screenshot their entire homepages.
Then I screenshot their homepage.
I placed them ๐ฌ๐ข๐๐ ๐๐ฒ ๐ฌ๐ข๐๐.
No long explanation.
No argument.
Just contrast.
Two days later, they sent a different message:
โCan you help us rewrite the entire website copy?โ
Because you canโt fight ๐ฏ๐ข๐ฌ๐ฎ๐๐ฅ ๐ญ๐ซ๐ฎ๐ญ๐ก.
Today, I still see people planning to โlaunch bigโ in 2026, but their online presence says:
๐บ Broken website
๐บ Half-written pages
๐บ Generic templates
๐บ Or worseโฆ ๐ง๐จ ๐ฐ๐๐๐ฌ๐ข๐ญ๐ ๐๐ญ ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ.
In a ๐๐ข๐ ๐ข๐ญ๐๐ฅ-๐๐ข๐ซ๐ฌ๐ญ ๐๐๐จ๐ง๐จ๐ฆ๐ฒ , especially in Nigeria, your website is not decoration.
Itโs your:
โค First impression
โค Silent salesperson
โค Trust validator
While you are sleeping, people are on your website making buying decision without you knowing. If it doesnโt inspire confidence, they wonโt ask questions ....๐ญ๐ก๐๐ฒ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ ๐ฅ๐๐๐ฏ๐.
That is one of the reasons I wrote my upcoming eBook:
โ๐๐จ๐ฎ ๐๐ซ๐ ๐๐จ๐ญ ๐๐๐๐๐ฒ ๐ญ๐จ ๐๐๐ฎ๐ง๐๐ก.โ
Because many businesses donโt fail from lack of moneyโฆThey fail from ๐ฅ๐จ๐จ๐ค๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฎ๐ง๐ซ๐๐๐๐ฒ.
In todayโs market, perception is not optional. Itโs currency.
When someone lands on your website today, what do you think it says about your business...
and what do you fear it might actually be saying?
