Armed with a Master’s degree in Digital and Strategic Marketing from the University of Bradford and a Bachelor of Science in Microbiology from Bells University of Technology, she has built a career on developing data-driven strategies that not only capture attention but drive measurable results.
Nonso’s journey spans multiple industries and high-profile brands, but a defining moment came during her time at Mavin Records. There, she played a key role in the rollout of Rema and Crayon and worked with the production team, primarily as the video editor. She also edited music rollout videos for Ladipoe, Korede Bello, Johnny Drille, and Di’Ja, contributing to the content marketing efforts.
Another standout achievement was leading the marketing strategy for Davido’s ‘Timeless’ album, a campaign that not only earned three Grammy nominations but also surpassed 1 billion streams.

What sets Nonso apart is her human-centered approach. She views marketing as more than selling—it’s about understanding psychology, culture, and emotions.
One of her most challenging yet rewarding transitions was moving from entertainment marketing to fintech at KoinKoin.
