In November 2022, Credo Advisory selected me for the 2023 Global Communications Alliance (GCA) Peer Mentorship Programme. GCA is a global network of communications agencies that support clients to achieve their strategic objectives through communications. GCA members have been successful in combining global experience with local knowledge. One of the benefits of Credo’s GCA membership is our participation in its Peer Mentorship Programme where communications consultants engage with peers in various sectors and from different parts of the world.
The Mentorship Programme is an excellent opportunity for representatives from GCA agencies to learn global best practice communications approaches taking into context cultural and operational diversity. My peer mentor was Rocio Oria, a communications consultant at Infomedia in Argentina. Infomedia is a communications firm that specializes in offering consultancy services, influencing political landscapes, and providing corporate communications and public relations services.
Rocio and I had four stimulating sessions, discussing communications tactics we implemented for our projects and shared learnings from challenging communications initiatives. We also exchanged stories about our backgrounds and career experiences. Apart from learning about the communications landscape in Argentina and its applicability in Nigeria, I gained an esteemed colleague.
The GCA Peer Mentorship Programme is a worthwhile opportunity to gain knowledge and insight into the complex and evolving communications landscape.
