Hi, my name is Asoto Emmanuel Adeola and I am the founder of ‘LEUNAMME IT+MEDIA’ and co-founder ‘VALUESPHERE’.
I am an interactive art director, specializing in the fields of Brand Strategy, Brand Identity & Digital Branding .
Call me a designer, an environmentalist, call me a programmer, call me a wordsmith, call me whatever:
I prefer to call myself a creative cook, visit my “kitchen” at iamacreativecook.com. Guess my calling is to communicate and to do so creatively.
My hallmark is my ability to craft compelling work regardless of situation at hand, my weapon you might ask, is my versatility. I come up with an idea and have the ability to execute it whether it’s Print, TV, Radio, and Web. I can craft something compelling from inception to release i.e. design across all media.
Hmnn… that sounds boastful, well that’s not to say I don’t work well in groups, most of my works have involved working with people (employers/clients). However, I know when its time to roll my sleeves up (i.e. right when I walk through the door) and get to work. I can do that with or without people.
I have honed my skills working for 2 major advertising agencies in Nigeria; FKG2 NIGERIA (G2) now aZZagai & Rosabel Group (Leo Burnett). I’ve had the opportunity to work on global brands such as Zain (now Airtel), Samsung, P&G, Coca-Cola, Moet Hennessy, Emirates, The First Group, Heineken (Nigerian Breweries) just to name a few. Other accounts worked on include financial institutions, telecommunications, and aviation & FMCG brands in the country.
I am presently in the UK to realize my professional goal by offering to study for my self development in BUSINESS MANAGEMENT so as to develop and maximize the little knowledge in entrepreneurial and managerial skills that I have accumulated so far. I hold a Bachelor of Urban & Regional Planning from The University of Lagos, Nigeria. I also hold a Certificate In Creative Design And Digital Commmunication, Pan African University, Lagos, Nigeria.
I have been fortunate enough to be recognized for my work, American Design Awards 2010 – Website Design
When I’m not looking at a computer screen (17” MacBook Pro) pushing pixels around till they look good, you will find me hanging out with friends & families, reading a new book or listening to music.
MY PERSONAL CREED
I express my personal creed in this way:
- Succeed at home first
- Seek and merit divine help
- Remember the people involved
- Plan tomorrow’s work today
- Maintain a positive attitude
- Keep a sense of humour
- Be ordely in person and in work
- Facilitate the success of subordinates
WHAT YOU WOULD FIND INTERESTING ABOUT ME
- I love to see the underdog win.
- If am not designing, am thinking about designing, which in itself is designing.
- I love to make technical things accessible and simple to non-techie people.
- I love to live a simple life and preach “simplexicity”.
- I take on the “less is more approach” i.e clean, minimalist and stylish design.
- In the end, I want to be solving problems for people as a designer.
- I regularly engage in voluntary service in my community.
THE BUSINESS (ES)
LEUNAMME (pronounced leu-na mme) was a name I coined from my first name “Emmanuel” by reading it backwards (hmmnn… creative you would say). Well LEUNAMME IT+MEDIA is a creative brand strategy outfit.
VALUESPHERE, on the other hand is a Human Capital Development enterprise equipping individuals & businesses with commercial competencies, attitudes required for sustainable growth.
