Speaking on the agency’s in house talent, Chief Marketing Officer, Street Toolz, Uwem Ekanem, said: “Street Toolz is backed by a culturally and ethnically diverse team, which makes us best suited to contextualize campaign messaging to fit various targets within Nigeria’s ethnically pluralistic society.”
