Impact through communications
Company Profile
Credo Advisory is a strategic communications firm that specializes in designing
and implementing strategic, operational and tactical communications initiatives.
We provide a full suite of communications services to our clients, which
include public relations, media relations, government relations, advocacy, crisis
communications, development communications, digital communications,
event communications, community engagement and capacity building.
Our mission is to develop bespoke communications products, activities and
campaigns based on knowledge, research and industry insights. With our
ability to communicate effectively with diverse audiences and stakeholder
groups, Credo’s goal is to provide impactful strategic communications advisory
from inception and design to implementation and monitoring.
At Credo, we are committed to improving the way societies communicate.
Who we are
1
OurExpertise
2
This is an age where influence trumps awareness; where audiences are wary
of promotional messaging, propaganda and rhetoric; and where audience
perception plays a lead role in shaping agendas. Neuroscience research
demonstrates that stories resonate better with people compared to facts alone.
At Credo, we help organizations develop and narrate their stories.
Whether the objective is a grassroots initiative, an industry activity, government
mandate, or a national agenda, we help clients tell their stories to raise
awareness, build trust, change minds and, ultimately, influence behaviour.
Public Relations
3
In one-minute, Google receives 3.5 million search queries and 452,000 tweets
are sent. It is no longer a question of whether organizations should be on social
media, but how they can distinguish themselves, secure trust, and succeed
in this competitive digital ecosystem. As technology evolves, so does Credo’s
approach. We understand this changing landscape and our strategies include
the use of blogs, social networking and multimedia sharing sites.
Organizations need to listen to create valuable content. We help clients develop
social media campaigns that foster two-way communication where audience
feedback is a priority in order to identify critical “ground-truths.” We work with
our clients to influence conversations that will impact their reputation, goals,
and value propositions.
Digital Communications
4
We are public affairs veterans with vast experience with the Presidency, National
Assembly, regulatory agencies, Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) and
state/local governments of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. We have nurtured robust
relationships with multiple levels of government and public sector operatives. At
Credo, our expertise is in advocating in the public sector space and implementing
political engagement strategies to help our clients in their engagement, profile
and relationship-building with Government. Credo provides political advice and
counsel to inform our clients’ strategic objectives and decision-making.
Government Relations

We recognize the role event communications plays in creating brand awareness or recognizing a critical milestone. At Credo, event
communications is at the fore front of what we do. We identify the event goals and objectives and develop a planned communications
strategy working closely with the client and resource personnel.
We take a 360-degree view of the event, identify communications initiatives and lead on the creation of promotion activities, visual
and digital creatives that will help promote the event to a target audience through the entire life cycle of the event.
Event Communications

When it comes to crisis management and communications, timing is essential. Every organization will face a crisis at some
point or another but very few will proactively anticipate their crisis or effectively mitigate it. The Credo team works closely with
the client in coordinating messages and communications activities across their stakeholder landscape as required. At Credo,
we offer expert counsel to develop crisis preparedness plans and training for our clients. We recognize speed of response is
crucial in a real-time 24-hour news and social media cycle.
Crisis Communications

We understand the role communication plays in fostering social and developmental change. This is why development communications is
important to us at Credo. We develop organic engagement strategies based on in-depth research and 360 degrees consultations in order to
implement initiatives that encourage behaviour change, community participation and social mobilization. Importantly, Credo abides by the ‘Do
No Harm’ principles to ensure development or humanitarian activities do not damage or harm host or beneficiary communities.
Development Communications
8
We have the expertise and relationships to tell our clients’ stories, while effectively
navigating today’s fast-paced and rapidly changing news cycle to ensure
message delivery and reception. We have cultivated strong partnerships with
international, national, and regional media outlets to generate news coverage
that builds credibility, trust and awareness.
We understand and leverage the varying roles that both traditional and new
media play in public communications. As technology evolves, so does our
media relations approach.
Media Relations
9
With our understanding and expertise of effective engagement initiatives with groups, communities and organizations, we support the design and implementation
of community-based projects to maximize levels of sensitization, support and participation. At Credo, we develop frameworks for good community engagement
through effective stakeholder mapping, produce practical guides and regularly provide training and support to community-based organizations. Through
strategic and tactical community relations approaches, we ensure that community engagements are sustainably implemented through learning, inclusion and
partnerships in line with our “Do No Harm” philosophy.
Community Engagement
10
Attaining public awareness and support on a particular issue forms the basis
of our advocacy work for clients. We provide advocacy support by effectively
researching target audiences through qualitative and quantitative approaches via
consultations, surveys and focus groups.
Data analysis and findings are used to develop an advocacy strategy that will
be the foundation of an advocacy and public campaign. Our range of support
on advocacy include community engagements, research, survey analysis and
data visualization, stakeholder mapping and analysis, campaign strategies and
creatives development.

Our Approach
Credo commits time and resources to develop communication solutions for our clients. At the same time, our clients too must commit their time and resources to an agreed agenda and set of goals. It is our mutual commitment that transforms a goal into a sustainable reality.
We are passionate about solving engagement challenges through specially designed interactions and consultations with clients and their stakeholders. Credo engages through focus group discussions, one-on-one interactions, round tables, town halls, surveys and tailored engagement activities with varying audiences from communities to chief executives; after which we design, implement and monitor tactical communications initiatives. Credo facilitates the engagement process from end-to-end.
“People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” — Maya Angelou
For our desired outcome and impact, we establish a baseline from our audience research and methodically measure and monitor performance over the course of the communications initiatives. Success at Credo Advisory means impact. We aspire for positive and sustainable impact through strategic communications.
