grow a business, making sure that people working in the creativeindustries have the right managerial and leadership skills to do so. It

The Creative Industry in Nigeria (2) In 2010, President Jonathan midwifed a $2 million soft loan via the
Nexim Bank and Bank of Industry to help deal with the obstacles
that prevent the growth of the industry such as piracy, lack ofventure capital, lack of proper marketing and distribution network,poor capacity building of filmmakers so as to improve quality andbetter production practices. However, only a few filmmakers havebeen able to access the fund, a situation that has caused muchfrustration in the industry
Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mrs. Ngozi Okonjo-Iwealaplans to create a new window under the YouWIN Programme(Sure P) to allow in a short-term basis some quick funds to supportmembers of the creative industry
There is a buzz globally about the creative industry in Nigeria and a
recognition of the talents that abound The Nigerian creative industry renaissance appears to be led by
music, comedy, writers and Nollywood

Chinua Achebe on Beginning Writers
Most writers who are beginners, if they are honest withthemselves, will admit that they are praying for readership asthey begin to write. But it should be the quality of the craft, notthe audience, that should be the greatest motivating factor. Forme, at least, I can declare that when I wrote Things Fall ApartIcouldnt have told anyone the day before it was accepted forpublication that anybody was going to read it. There was noguarantee, nobody ever said to me, Go and write this, we willpublish it, and we will read it, it was just there. But my brother-in-law, who was not a particularly voracious reader, told me
that he read the novel through the night and it gave him aterrible headache the next morning. And I took that as anencouraging endorsement
(There Was A Country, Chinua Achebe, paragraph 2, page 61)

Creative Entrepreneurs
As a creative person in business, you have yourown unique creativity, your ambition about whatyou want your enterprise to become, and your
own ideas about what success means to you. Creative entrepreneurs blend creativity with
smart business thinking
Successful creative entrepreneurs embrace both
creativity and business. David Parrish, author ofT-Shirts and Suits: A Guide to the Business ofCreativity

BUSINESS OR HOBBY?
Success for your creative enterprise may include a range of factors inaddition to financial reward, such as fulfilling creative ambitions,staying true to personal values, and gaining recognition for your work.
Each enterprise will combine these and other ingredients differently tocreate their own particular definition of success.
The challenge for you as a creative person when planning anddeveloping a business is to combine creativity with the best businessideas, so as to turn creative talent into income streams.
Crucially, this is not a matter of making a compromise betweencreativity and businessits a matter of getting the best of bothworlds.
Success means different things to different people, so as a creativeentrepreneur you need to be clear about your own definition of success.In other words, you must be clear about where you are planning to go.

Business Plans
The paradigm in the music business has shifted and as an artistanda businesswoman, I have to move with that shift.
(Madonna - Recording artist and entertainer)
The best business plans are useful documents which become aroute map or pocket guide to help you on your journey tosuccess.
The best business plans provide milestones and measures ofsuccess, so that progress can be tracked as the business develops.These key performance indicators (KPIs) measure the most
important aspects of the companys performance and are thebusiness equivalent of a cars dashboard, providing the driver withessential real-time information.

Strategic Planning Strategic planning involves using your head as well as your
heart, using left-brain logic as well as right-brain intuition,to steer your creative passion in the direction of businesssuccess.
Creative talent does not automatically deserve businesssuccess, so you need to assess all your creative options todecide which are likely to be the most feasible in businessterms.
To be creative as an amateur with no requirement to makemoney provides opportunities for infinite artistic freedom.
However, once you take your creative talent into thecommercial arena, you will have to deal with two majorfactors competitors and customers.
The late May Nzeribe taught me a lesson once on gettingpaid for ideas at a clients meeting

Positioning for Growth
To position for growth, there is an assumption that
already one has clearly identified his/her path in the
creative industry such as
There must be some evidence of demonstrable
talent or set of creative skills that can appeal toothers to the point that they are willing to pay for
the service (all of us may be able to sing in the
shower but this does not necessarily mean that we
have the talent to sing Reality bites, therefore many who are currently
caught up in the creative industry gold rush may be
better off going back to 9 to 5 jobs

POSITIONING AT TWO LEVELS
S/N MICRO (PRACTITIONER) MACRO (GOVERNMENT/INSTITUTIONAL)
1 Nature/Nurture Sustained support (e.g. the UK model
looking at the activities of DCMS, Cida,
Universities UK etc)
2 Local and global linkages,
networking, affiliations
Making data available
3 Continuous improvement through
skills development, training etc
Appointing the right people to head
government agencies with a mandate to
support the work of the creative
industries
4 Learning the business side ofthings including branding
Setting up a specific creative industriesministry as the Ministry of Tourism and
Culture which overlooks the creative
industries appears to be more focused on
tourism

Some Brand Experts Views on Positioning
Positioning starts with a product. A piece of merchandise, a
service, an institution, or even a person. But positioning is notwhat you do to a product. Positioning is what you do to the
mind of the prospect (Positioning: The Battle for your mind, Al
Ries & Jack Trout, 1981)
Positioning means owning a credible and profitable position
in the consumers mind, either by getting there first, or by
adopting a position relative to the competition, or by re-
positioning the competition.(Understanding Brands, Cowley.
D, 1996)
Strategic positioning is creating a unique and sustainablecompetitive position (Professor Michael Porter at the Tony
Elumelu lecture series, August 11, 2011)

Thoughts on Brand Positioning in Nigeria Many organisations seem to have lost their way in the desert, not
able to know what they stand for (brand essence), what to promise
and how to communicate such promises to their customers andwhat/how to deliver on any such promise (look towards the Telcosand banks for culprits where a big gulf exists between brandpromise and service delivery)
This could be as a result of failure of brand leadership, lack of
capacity and total disregard for the paying customer, not helped byweak regulatory frameworks (NCC ban in Oct 2012 of Telco promosdue to poor QOS)
It could also be as a result of the nature of the Nigerian economywith much power still very much in the hands of the seller. A
situation that has led to buyers being happy and grateful for evenfinding to buy in the market certain goods and services
The above can be said of the creative industry when we look atwhats happening in Nollywood, the media, music, fashionindustries etc

Brand Value Propositions & Promise
All Brand value propositions should simply let the
consumer know: What is in it for him/her?
To propose to a customer, youve got to decide what
you stand for, what you think people think you standfor, what you can actually offer over the long time.
Anything else is positioning to fail
Brand positioning is more about what the brand does
and stands for and less of what the brand says (talk is
cheap)

Positioning: An Agency Perspective
Identification of the true uniqueness and relevance
of our clients' brands and enterprises in order to
create strong differentiation, clear strategic focus,
and outstanding business performance Positioning succinctly defines the target, the
category in which the brand competes, their
differentiated benefits, and what the company must
do to prove those differentiated benefits to thecustomer

Steps in Brand Positioning Articulate Brand Attributes
What the brand delivers through features and benefits to consumers. Promise to Consumers
What consumers expect to receive from the brand.
Be Better Than Competitor attributes
What the other brands in the market offer through features and benefits to consumers.
Pricing
An easily quantifiable factorYour prices vs. your competitors prices. Deliver Consumer perceptions
The perceived quality and value of your brand in consumers minds (i.e., does your brandoffer the cheap solution, the good value for the money solution, the high-end, high-price tagsolution, etc.?).
Take some time to create a thorough picture of the current market and how your brand fits inthat market to determine your brands current position. If thats not the position you wantfor your brand, take the necessary steps to change it based on the gaps defined when you
analyzed the five factors above.
You must know that brands are better built by substance and publicity, and thenmaintained by substance still, and advertising

multi-billion naira industry
Many OAAN registeredoutdoor firms managing
several boards across Nigeria
All major formats like Wall
drapes, Lamp posts, 96 sheets,
Gantries etc are present
Pricing is subjective in the
absence of data
Lacks dependable metrics
Too many regulators at state,
LG and federal government
levels
OOH media practice currently

What we say and what we do
A bank positions itself as the one customer bank but some of the banking halls stilllook like 1990s banking halls
A Telco says everywhere you go, yes, everywhere the customer goes, the reception is
poor A bank says it is in your best interest but marketing staff do no think so, not until the
targets are lowered and made more realistic
A bank promises to manage customers wealth but its top execs live a luxury Bentleyjet-set lifestyle
A government security agency says it is your friend but we all know that our friend
shouldnt make us part with money all the time A bank says it is committed to environmental protection but its generators are on round
the clock in all its branches
A bank that prides itself as a leader in customer service and asks if we would rather notbank with them stills grapples with customer issues
President YarAdua said his administration would be anchored on the principle of therule of lawthis was exploited by some unscrupulous officials who had scant regard forthe law. However, as the man at whose desk the buck stopped, he must acceptresponsibility and Nigerians indeed hold him accountable for everything that happenedon his watch.
