During my service year, I was opportune to serve with Beloxxi Industries Limited. And right from the entrance, I fell in love with the organisation, you know why? They had a beautiful and serene environment. As a corp member searching for a PPA, I have been to a particular food company and the environment wasn't pleasing at all. But the moment I stepped into Beloxxi Industries Limited oh my!!! the ambience was giving everything it should as a food production company. One thing we must learn is that no matter how valuable your services are, ensure you have a working space that is appealing (whether online or offline) Do you have a similar experience with mine? kindly share in the comment section

This is a well produced ad. Location, cast (as per the script, yes), music, cinematography and post edits… all checked out well. But when you say this is “a masterpiece” and then say it defines Nigerians as “dreamers and doers…” then it becomes really funny. The guy that did the “dreaming and doing” in the ad was Caucasian. Not a Nigerian and the ad implicitly suggested that he was on a visit to Lagos (as per the setting) of the ad, and was being chaperoned across the city by the black Naija dude (who, based off the casting was an IJGB). So to be clear, the dreamer and doer in the ad was not a Nigerian. So why exactly did Bigi shoot this ‘beautiful picture’? Judging by the story, this is more of a “Let’s make Bigi cool” film than a “strength, resilience… that defines our nation” film. Bigi came onto the CSD scene offering a good product for reduced price. Not much marketing above the line, but delivered a ruthlessly efficient distribution gameplay that drove sales and adoption. But those who bought Bigi knew clearly that it was cheaper. They were also clear on the fact that its quality was perceived to be lesser than the Coke and Pepsi family of products. They bought it regardless. Either they loved it or it made better sense to their wallets. From bus conductors to hustling 9-5ers… Nigerians bought and drank Bigi. What I see in this ad is an intentional jettison of an existing tribe in the hope of attracting a better one. If that’s the case, then this ad is tone deaf. For most young people in Nigeria, this is the worst time to be Nigerian. With backs against the wall and mounting uncertainties daily… they are now being told/shown that being cool is an aspirational construct and a foreign import from a brand that they would expectedly look to as lifesaver in these trying times. The brand that’s supposed to “get them.” It’s like your guy going to MMA2 and returning with a British accent because he saw planes (or dropped off someone going to London)… How? Where is the connection? This ad is a colorful picture, it maybe the aspiration of where Bigi wants to get to… but it’s not the Bigi that we know, or have seen over the years. For years Rite Foods Limited have blossomed as an epitome of the ‘Proudly Nigerian’ dream. Building local brands to rival legacy & global brands, with each product being well accepted due to great quality and strong distribution channels/network. It must be said that Rite Foods is winning because it offers the average Nigerian an alternative: quality products at affordable prices. It therefore needs to represent correctly the Nigerian context and construct in any communication that implies/leverages our identity as a people/nation. It owes the “dreamers and doers” — stuck in daily traffic for years on end grabbing its products off the trays of enthusiastic street hawkers that. And lastly, I don’t understand the “leave the rest for Naija part” nor the “Bigi for every moment” end frame.

ChatGPT and over-koala-fied humor. My new recent friend, Allie Patterson, must have been in a playful humorous mood heading into the weekend because she posted the following joke earlier: "Why didn't the koala get the job? He was over-koala-fied!" Waa-waa. Tee-hee! Allie's in recruitment, and who can't use a good rib-tickler in this job market, right? Well, I consulted my "Creative Director," CHATheadra GuPTa, with the following inquiry. "What would be a funny one-word response alleging ageism in response to the joke and punchline following? Why didn't the koala get the job? He was over-koala-fied. [over-koala-fied is meant as a play on the word overqualified. Feel free to use this technique in your response, remembering that the koala is native to Australia, affiliated with the term "down under."]" Their response is classic: "Down-Underageism!" Silly that it took that much prompt to achieve such a glorious result, but it couldn't be a soliloquoy, could it? https://lnkd.in/ghfUdhJF

Here are some of PCC Dafydd Llywelyn's highlights for the week gone by 👇

Across the world, Coca-Cola reigns supreme as the soft drink of choice in almost every country. Except one. In Scotland, a different champion emerges – Irn Bru. A beverage that carves its unique space in a market dominated by a global giant, reminding us of the power of local preference and taste. Why mention this? Because it serves as a perfect metaphor for understanding and catering to the specific needs of your clients. It serves as a reminder that it's not just about presenting the candidates that the whole world is chasing. It's about identifying and providing the talent that perfectly aligns with your unique corporate culture, goals, and requirements. At Audit & Risk Recruitment we pride ourselves on not just following the crowd. Like Scotland's choice of Irn Bru over Coca-Cola, we recognize the importance of individuality and preference in a world that often opts for a one-size-fits-all solution. Our approach is tailored, thoughtful, and precise, ensuring that we connect you with candidates who aren't just desirable on paper but are the perfect fit for what YOU specifically need. If you're looking for your Irn-bru candidate, then please reach out to the team Dan@auditandriskrecruitment.com 07825 628544 #AuditAndRiskRecruitment #Recruitment #CustomerFirst #UniqueTalent #IrnBru #CocaCola #Differentiation
