"5 hours to the event, no ticket sold. We were still on full panic... Next thing, we just saw the whole of Lagos. I'd never forget standing in front of the stage, just looking, saying "My God." I'm like, "Jennifer, we did it." So those are the things I live for." - Bukky George-Taylor, Founder & Managing Director, Robert Taylor Media.
 


On this episode, the concluding part of our chat with Bukky George-Taylor, we explore the birth and growth of The Bobby Taylor Company - a certified Public Relations company Bukky started in Winnipeg Manitoba, Canada, in 2007 at the age of 25.
 
Bukky will talk about how she was able to penetrate the Nigerian market, the subsequent rebrand of the company into Robert Taylor Media, as well as her mistakes, most alone moments, habits, and general life lessons.
 


For well over a decade, Bukky, with her agency, has represented local and global brands like Dubai Tourism, Pernord Ricard, BAP Productions, ONE, WARIF, Cece Yara, Lagos Social Media Week, GT Fashion Week, Eterna Plc., British Petroleum, and more.
 


Bukky is also the brain behind hospitality and tourism tech start-up "Crawl", and in 2020, became a Director of one of Nigeria's first digital publications "The Lagos Today Newspaper" which covers stories, sights and happenings around Lagos, Nigeria.
 


Bukky's expertise and dedication to her community has seen her land on publications such as Forbes Africa, Business Day CEO Magazine, Genevieve Magazine, TW Magazine, Schick Magazine, Shoppe Black USA amongst other prominent publications.
