📍Beauty brands looking to launch into Africa would always see Nigeria as one of the continent’s most viable markets. Besides its teaming population, middle-class citizens, and young demographic, reports also exist to substantiate the claim of Nigeria’s prowess, attesting to how in the coming years, Africans would be spread across every nook and cranny of the globe. This is not to say that certain turbulences do not exist, with the country’s financial state being at the top of the list. [No] Thanks to certain governmental policies, Nigeria’s economy is experiencing one of its worst declines in more than a decade, and brands are being forced to steer this course. One of the industry’s favourites, Topicals, has taken on Africa, as is using Nigeria as a port of entry. According to its VP of Strategy and Business Operations, kicking off with Nigeria was a no-brainer. “Nigeria has a large influence in terms of the global African conversation and a lot of economic power in the continent,” she said. For BeautyMatter, I discussed with said VP of Strategy and Business Operations, Sochima Mbadugha, who played a very pivotal role in this launch into Nigeria. We discussed every plan this two-digit million dollars worth beauty company has for Nigeria and the African continent at large, and what their plans are to upturn Nigeria’s very fickle economy. Thank you, Sochima, for finally sitting with me and discussing the Topicals journey with me. Enjoy! https://lnkd.in/eABejBzK
