Open to remote roles

Hi, I'm Olanike.
The person who keeps it
all moving.

I’m a marketing, operations, and project assistant. I work alongside people who set the vision while I keep the moving parts aligned; managing projects, coordinating details, creating content, and making sure important things don’t get lost along the way.

About

I'd rather be the second pair of hands than the only pair.

I spent the last few years running marketing largely on my own, and I learned a lot from it, but I know now that I'm at my best supporting someone. When there's a manager to think with, I can take a plan and actually run it: the drafts, the deadlines, the people who need chasing, the small things that fall through when everyone is busy.

I'm organised, I write well, and I'm comfortable being the one who asks the awkward question about a deadline. I studied Philosophy, which mostly taught me how to read carefully and argue clearly — both of which turn out to be useful.

I've worked with a commercial interiors group, an international brand, and a community-focused company where I supported marketing, content, event and operations. They were three very different businesses, and in each one I learned by paying attention to how customers and people in those spaces actually communicate.

How I help

What it looks like week to week.

01

Keeping the calendar honest

Content calendars, campaign timelines, launch dates. I keep one version of the schedule, chase the pieces that are late, and tell you early when something won't land.

02

Doing the writing and the setup

Drafting blog posts and emails, loading them into WordPress, Shopify, Mailchimp or Klaviyo, checking links and formatting before anything goes out.

03

Handling people and suppliers

Briefing designers and videographers, onboarding vendors and partners, following up on the emails that would otherwise sit unanswered.

04

Pulling the numbers together

Weekly and monthly reports from Analytics, Search Console and the CRM, written plainly so insights are easy to understand and act on.

Experience

Selected places I've worked.

The Interiors Limited — Commercial interiors & fit-out
Commercial interiors & fit-out

Sep 2024 — Dec 2025

The Interiors Limited

Kova Interiors · Kova Partitions

A commercial fit-out and partitioning business. I worked through the content plan, wrote, published 60+ articles, service, sector and homepage copy — and handled the day-to-day: research, drafts, uploads, scheduling and the reporting that came after.

The site went from very little organic traffic to a steady stream of enquiries, and the reporting rhythm stayed weekly for over a year.

Shekudo — International brand
International brand

Mar 2024 — Oct 2024

Shekudo

Marketing & operations support

An international brand. I supported the company’s marketing and operations activities across product launches, campaigns, collaborations, and events, including domestic and international initiatives such as Lagos Fashion Week and the New York Awet store launch. My role involved coordinating creative partners, vendors, suppliers, timelines, and internal processes to ensure campaigns and launches were executed smoothly. I also supported content planning, website updates, and day-to-day marketing operations across the brand.

Launches went out on their dates, and the people involved always knew what was expected of them and when.

Reclaim Wellness Co. — Community & events
Community & events

Mar 2023 — Dec 2024

Reclaim Wellness Co.

Events, pop-ups & partnerships

A community-focused company built around events, pop-ups, and partnerships. I supported the planning and execution of initiatives including Gather Market, The Wellness Summit, and Gather House, managing brand outreach, onboarding, run-of-show planning, and partner coordination with organisations such as Alliance Française, The British Council, The Happiness Centre, and Ake Collective.

Gather Market grew from 30 to 70+ brands, and I helped set up Gather Growth Club, a free community for women running small businesses.
