ALDER CONSULTING
Alder Consulting, one of the foremost PR companies in Nigeria, was founded by Mr. Leke Alder in 1996. They are a vision forward organisation defined by the quality of their ideas and these ideas are used to transform nations and organisations. Years ago, they introduced branding as a professional discipline to Nigeria, publishing the nation’s first research-based brand report, the Alder Brand Report.
That spawned a new industry and transformed members of the advertising industry into brand communication companies. Before long, the corporate landscape became refurbished with new logos and corporate identity displays. At Alder, they believe that branding is not corporate identity. Corporate identity is a brand expression, much like advertising is brand communication.
They also re-invented the professional landscape — the first brand manager in the service sector was appointed by Alder Consulting for a bank client. Today, there are few corporate affairs managers and mostly brand managers. They then introduced a quaint expression into the corporate lexicon called ‘acculturation’. This was their culture program for new and reinvented brands. This program has come to stay as many brand consultants now hold acculturation sessions during their branding programs.
Because of their work, newspapers created brand sections and a slew of specialty magazines focused on branding emerged. Such is the power of ideas. Their team draws on broad industry experience and networks to create the most powerful outcomes for their clients.
The services they render include:
- Consulting
- Social Media
- Traditional Media
- Design, and
- Web.
