Kolawole Adeyeye
Hello, I’m Kolawole Adeyeye, I enjoy meeting people and traveling, and I still want to meet you.
I have not traveled much, but I will start very soon because I just ended my 9-5 job last month to embrace freelance copywriting with lifestyle of freedom.
I’m now a professional freelance copywriter. Before this, I worked in the financial industry in different units and departments, from Credit Administration to Domestic Settlement to International Operations units of a top-tier bank in Nigeria. I have been freelancing since 2015 as a side hustle and just decided in September 2023 that it’s high time I embraced my new reality, to focus on freelance copywriting, having learned from many A-list copywriters, especially from the American Writers and Artists Institute (AWAI).
Where I come from and the schools I attended:
I grew up in Ondo state, Nigeria, in the western part of the country, and my journey has mainly revolved around the western part of the country, especially in terms of schooling. I now live in Lagos, Nigeria. I went to the University of Lagos and earned a BSc in Accounting, later qualifying as an Associate Chartered Accountant from the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN). I attended an online course at Yale University, anchored by Professor Robert J. Shiller, on Financial Markets. I also attended an online course at the International Business Management Institute (IBMI) on Economics and International Business. Currently, I am seeking a Certificate for Documentary Credit Specialist (CDCS) from the London Institute of Banking and Finance.
I also co-founded a marketing agency, where I serve as the marketing and copywriting lead. Here, we promote and create brand awareness with a major focus on small and medium-scale entrepreneurs to assist them with branding and marketing promotions, allowing them to focus on other aspects of their business for maximum impact.
I have written and published over six books on Amazon, namely: “Failing Forward,” “Achieving Operational Excellence Today,” “Blockchain Revolution,” “The 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis: War, Negotiation, and Power,” and “Global Security Concerns and the Risk of the Third World War.”
Preoccupation Drill:
I saw the need in this Freelance Copywriting space and started doing it for my company and my clients. You can be a part of them. I have learned the craft of copywriting by choice from the American Writers and Artists Institute (AWAI). The training has expanded and shaped my copywriting and marketing expertise. I’m a member of AWAI’s Circle of Success Group, which provides unending support whenever I need it. I’m also a certified Digital Marketer, trained on Site Content Audit by Pam Foster, the Learning Chief at AWAI. I went through Web Copy Apprentice by Nick Usborne of AWAI, Case Study certification by B2B AWAI trainer Lisa Christoffel, and being coached on email marketing and Autoresponder by the AWAI Autoresponder guru Jay White.
