Slick Marketing: Making strides in the Communications industry

Today I would like to share an inspirational story and I hope that it will inspire you to step out. The story is about Samali Namuddu who also happens to be proprietor and create Director of Slick Marketing Limited.
Samali started her company in her mothers house while we were still in University. I remember one of her very first projects was our year book. she tells me her first VAT payment was Kshs 3,500! Fueled by her passion for design and an entrepreneurial spirit she set up Slick Marketing which has now grown to a full fledged advertising and marketing communications agency and will be celebrating its 5th anniversary very soon. Slick marketing offers practical and relevant solutions to meet the needs of SME's. That is it's niche. Samali's dream is to create a world renown brand from the SME's that come to her everyday. She moved on from creating our year book as well as designing a lot of wedding materials for her classmates to building a business that services growing businesses in the Small and Medium enterprise industry. She creates business cards, brochures, web designs, marketing strategies, brand strategies, all with a personalized touch to bring out the personality of every business.
According to Samali, integrity is one of the key things necessary to build a successful business. This ensures you get repeat and referral customers. Courage is another key ingredient. It does not matter how long you wait to start a business. You will still have to build it from the ground up. Would you rather do that while you are still young or when you have kids to send to college and mortgages to pay? it is up to you to decide.
I must say that watching slick marketing grow has been truly inspiring. Please visit their website to see what customized solutions that Slick has to offer your business.

Business Woman of the MonthRedefining Marketing

This week I was very privileged to meet an inspiring woman i would like to honor as the Business Woman of the the Month. She is the owner of Upbeat Marketing an agency like no other. Nathalie Chinje is no ordinary lady she is driven,vivacious,passionate, and she knows her thing. She is driven by a passion for empowering Africa and especially women to pursue their business goals beyond borders but within Africa.

It was this passion that gave birth to the intra-africa business breakfast an event that has caught the attention of governments and businesses. This event is held in different countries and provides businesses an opportunity to gain insights on the different markets/countries. It also provides the government an opportunity to communicate directly to investors what incentives have been put in place in order to improve the businesses environment. Other than that it a wonderful networking platform for any investor. Be sure to visit the link and learn more about this amazing event.

To Nathalie; Hats off you are an African Woman in Business Icon.
