As a creative and data-driven marketing professional, I specialize in developing multi-channel campaigns that amplify purpose-led brands and drive meaningful engagement. In my current role as Media & Marketing Lead at Lead For Ghana, I oversee the design and execution of strategic communications and impact storytelling that strengthen brand visibility and stakeholder trust.
My background includes a strong foundation in new business and marketing through my previous role as a Senior Executive at Iris London, a global creative and innovation agency. There, I managed new business pipelines, developed pitch and credential materials, supported campaign strategy, and ensured brand consistency across internal and external communications; not only at the London office but also by supporting pitch and brand efforts across our global offices in New York, Atlanta, Munich, and Delhi. I also oversaw CRM systems and website content management, blending creativity with operational discipline.
With experience spanning both advertising and creative agency and non-profit sectors, I bring a hybrid skill set that combines creative storytelling, stakeholder engagement, and data-driven insights. I thrive at the intersection of strategy, creativity, and collaboration. Whether crafting integrated campaigns, positioning leaders for thought leadership, or developing content that showcases institutional impact.
“I’ve never worked with someone as passionate, professional, and proactive as Richard. He’s wise beyond his years, and I actually learned quite a bit from working with him. Richard gets along with absolutely everyone –probably because he doesn’t just do what’s asked of him - he goes above and beyond to build upon the ask and come back with an even better solution. He’s also always coming up with smart, fresh ways to market his agency and communicate a differentiating proposition. He’ll certainly be missed at Iris. If you have a chance to work with Richard, don’t pass it up!”
“Richard was my very first hire when I began building the Marketing & Media team at Lead For Ghana, and from day one, he proved exactly why that was one of my best decisions. Our first interaction was nothing short of inspiring, and over the past year, he has consistently exceeded expectations with excellence.
Richard is an exceptional media production expert. His photo and video work is consistently top-tier, combining technical mastery with a deep understanding of storytelling. He has produced high-quality headshots for all staff and Associates, captured the onboarding experience of new Associates, and singlehandedly shot and edited all our Alumni Impact and Partner School Spotlight stories. He also covered major events, from tree planting and health screenings to our team retreat and a three-day national training for the Ministry of Youth Development and Empowerment, delivering highlight videos that beautifully elevated the visibility of our work.
Richard’s strengths extend beyond the camera. He is a thoughtful strategist with a natural talent for ideation. In brainstorming sessions, he brings insight, creativity, and structure. He manages projects end-to-end with remarkable efficiency, from concept development and budgeting to execution, reporting, and learnings for future improvement. His proactiveness is unmatched; he often anticipates needs and takes initiative before I even reach out.
Richard is also deeply committed to growth. He embraces feedback, learns quickly, and thinks both analytically and strategically, always keeping the long-term vision in mind. His work ethic is exemplary: he is punctual, dependable, communicative, and consistently goes the extra mile. While I was on parental leave, as the only person on the team, he kept operations running seamlessly, demonstrating not just competence but leadership.
Beyond his professional skills, Richard brings a positive, uplifting energy to every room. He is genuinely well-liked, builds strong relationships across teams, and contributes meaningfully to a healthy and inspiring work culture. And above all, he is an exceptionally honest, kind and thoughtful person.
Working with Richard has been an absolute pleasure. I am incredibly proud to have hired him as an Associate Manager on my team, and I wholeheartedly recommend him for any opportunity that demands excellence, creativity, and integrity. Any organization would grow and thrive with Richard on their team.”
