I write impact stories with a focus on social impact interventions. My goal is to improve access to social interventions, by working with organisations, and the government, to improve their impact storytelling and expand communication channels so they can reach their target population at scale. In the past 10 years, I've set up and led communications for organisations in the public and private sectors. I have increased the brand presence and market share for brands in the food, technology, property and health sector including INTEL Nigeria, Nestle and TECNO Mobile. I have also increased access to social interventions for over 5000 individuals and small businesses and developed properties such as the #LSETF marketplace to increase access to market opportunities for entrepreneurs in Lagos State.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/omodara_\/","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/omodaraadediran\/"],"url":"https:\/\/msmehub.org\/staging\/6671\/author\/omodara\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/msmehub.org\/staging\/6671\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42718","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/msmehub.org\/staging\/6671\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/msmehub.org\/staging\/6671\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/msmehub.org\/staging\/6671\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1313"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/msmehub.org\/staging\/6671\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=42718"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/msmehub.org\/staging\/6671\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42718\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":42722,"href":"https:\/\/msmehub.org\/staging\/6671\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42718\/revisions\/42722"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/msmehub.org\/staging\/6671\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/42723"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/msmehub.org\/staging\/6671\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=42718"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/msmehub.org\/staging\/6671\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=42718"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/msmehub.org\/staging\/6671\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=42718"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
