"Partnership or exploitation"
So there was this individual back in the day who posted on his page that he wanted a partnership in his business.
I immediately pitched my services how I could scale up his brand’s patronage by creating nice visuals for him. He accepted right away, and we hopped on a call.
Turns out, he ran a clothing brand, and I was going to earn a revenue share for every sale he made. I started off by designing an enticing flyer, and he said he loved it.
But then things started to get strange. He began sending me images of clothes to post on my status. Now, I’m not the type to just post anything, but I obliged — “pride won't take you anywhere,” they say.
This went on for days… until I noticed something:
He never posted his own business on his own status.
When I confronted him, he finally opened up — he was only in partnership with someone else. He didn’t even own the business. His proposal to me? “If you help me sell, you’ll get your revenue.”
Right there, I lost interest. Another wasted effort, I thought.
Looking back today, I realize I could have done better — but back then, I didn’t know much about truly growing a business.
Now?
I know how to:
✅ Build a strong brand identity that gains trust instantly.
✅ Create compelling visuals that convert browsers into buyers.
✅ Craft marketing strategies that keep your brand ahead of competitors.
Your brand deserves more than random posting and guesswork.

You’ve paid influencers. You’ve begged your friends to repost. Still — crickets.
You’ve shared your business with people who get views.
You’ve paid for shoutouts.
You’ve broadcasted and tagged and hoped…
But nothing’s changing because there’s nothing for your audience to trust.
No clear visuals.
No sense of who you are.
Just a page with random tags, unrelated reposts, and no real identity.
It’s not that your business isn’t good, it’s that your presence isn’t convincing.
And in a world full of scammers, copycats, and cheap alternatives, your potential clients are scared to try again.
They need proof. They need clarity. They need confidence.
That’s why your online presence must speak before you do.
A compelling bio.
Clear, consistent visuals.
A cover photo that says: “Here’s who I am, and here’s what I do.”
This is where I come in.
I help brand owners and startups like you:
✔️ Design compelling visuals that communicate clearly
✔️ Build trust through intentional branding
✔️ Create a social media presence that reflects your true value
You’re already doing the hard work — now let’s make your audience see it.
I'm Emmanuel Adetoye a brand identity designer/strategist, let's build something unforgettable for your brand.
Let’s start this morning with a quick marketing insight…
As a brand owner (yes, designers too 👀), it’s no news — you’re not the only one offering what you offer. The real game begins where competition gets tough… and your goal is to grab the attention and loyalty of the masses.
Here’s how:
1️⃣ Give them a reason to choose you.
People buy what they believe is the best choice for them. Show them why that’s you — through your quality, your story, and the experience you deliver.
2️⃣ Learn from your competitors’ flaws.
Study their process — selling methods, website, brand identity — and make sure yours is stronger, sharper, and more memorable. Small differences change how customers perceive your brand.
3️⃣ Stop thinking price cuts are the solution.
Reducing your prices doesn’t guarantee more clients. Instead, position yourself as the brand worth paying for.
4️⃣ Focus on adding value.
Ask yourself daily: What extra value does my brand bring to the table? Because value builds loyalty, and loyalty beats discounts every time.
Keep these in mind, and you’ll not just survive in a competitive market — you’ll definitely stand out.

Hope you don't get frustrated at the learning stage.
Because honestly, that's where most people give up.
That stage where you're learning the ropes but the results seem slow.
Where you're doing your best, but nobody seems to notice.
Where you’re watching others grow faster and you wonder, “Am I even doing the right thing?”
You’ll spend hours perfecting your craft tweaking designs, watching tutorials, studying trends and still feel like it’s not enough.
You’ll deal with doubt, rejection, and imposter syndrome.
You’ll see people with less effort getting more applause.
You’ll ask yourself questions like, “Am I wasting my time?”
But here's the truth:
The learning stage is meant to test your commitment.
It’s not the final bus stop it’s the necessary fire that refines you.
The truth is, no skill becomes gold overnight.
What looks like magic today is backed by years of invisible work.
What seems simple was once frustrating. What seems smooth was once messy.
Don’t be deceived by surface-level success. Everyone who is great today once struggled in silence. They once failed publicly. They once cried quietly, hoping the seed they’re planting would one day sprout.
If you’re in the learning stage now, please don’t stop.
Stay with it.
Grow through it.
One day soon, you’ll look back and thank yourself for not quitting.
