Tiger Woods is Back as Champion

The story of Tiger Woods with Elin Maria Pernilla Nordegren, the ex-wife and Swedish former model is a great lesson for unmarried young men out there.

She met Woods as an accomplished golf player with millions of dollars as his possession and got married to him only to ruin his life afterwards.

She divorced him, took a large chunk of his wealth and left Tiger Woods not only heart broken but also professionally down.

His scenario was a proverbial fall from grace to grass as he was rated 1,199th in the World of Golf.

He was number 1 golf player for so longer years and role model to many..

big organisations terminated his contracts with them.

He was on rehab for years and was worked on by psychologists.

His world seemed to have ended.

That is what marriage is capable of causing when you marry a woman that is with intention of being with you because of your wealth.

Woods fell, pulled himself together and started again. Though second chance is always rare but TIGER WOOD got his own and he grabbed the privilege.

3 days ago, after 11 years, Tiger Wood reclaimed his position back as a top world Golf Player.

Good women are still out there but be careful especially when you're at the top of your career.

The King is back.

The Tiger of the game is here again.

Welcome Tiger Wood.

Never stop chasing your crazy dreams

Lesson for all...

Major PR Tools you can use.

News – Major PR Tools

One of the major PR tools is news. PR professionals find or create favourable news stories about the firm, its products or its people. Sometimes, news stories occur naturally, as a result of business activities; sometimes the PR responsibles may suggest events or activities that would create favourable news about the company.

Speeches – Major PR Tools

Speeches do also belong to the major PR tools because they can create powerful product and company publicity. Increasingly, company executives must field questions from the media or give talks at trade associations or sales meetings, and these events can either build, but also hurt the firm’s image.

Special events – Major PR Tools

Another tool of public relations is special events. Special events can be defined broadly: from news conferences, press tours, grand openings and firework displays to laser light shows, hot air balloon releases, multimedia presentations or educations programmes designed to reach and interest target publics.

Written materials – Major PR Tools

Public relations should also involve written materials. With the help of written materials, PR people can reach and influence their target markets. These materials include annual reports, brochures, articles, company newsletters and magazines.

Audiovisual materials – Major PR Tools

Audiovisual materials, for instance slide-and-sound programmes, DVDs and, increasingly, online videos are being used more and more as PR tools.

Corporate identity materials – Major PR Tools

To create a corporate identity that the public immediately recognises, corporate identity materials can be used. These materials encompass logos, stationary, brochures, signs, business forms, business cards, buildings, uniforms and company cars and trucks. When these are attractive, distinctive and memorable, they become marketing tools in the form of major PR tools.

Public service activities – Major PR Tools

Finally, companies can rely on public service activities  to improve public goodwill. Public service activities usually mean contributing money and time to public service.

The most important PR Tool nowadays – The Web

If you were wondering why the web is not among the PR tools listed above, here it is. Indeed, the web is the most important PR tool nowadays, and of course one of the major PR tools. In addition, the web is an increasingly important PR channel. Websites, blogs and social networks such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube provide powerful ways to reach more people than with any other of the major PR tools. In fact, the web and especially social media are the perfect channel for public relations communications: the core strength of public relations is the ability to tell a story and spark conversation. This is exactly what can be achieved with social media. Therefore, the web is not only one of the major PR tools, it is the major PR tool.

Somebody asked me few questions. He saw me with a candidate I did PR for and I gladly answered him. So, I thought to share here too.

Question: What does politics entail?
Me: To me, Politics is about... Information.
Recognition.
Money.
Promises.
Knowing people (right and wrong Ones).
Strategies.
Tactics.
Gymics.
Trust GOD, juju or go home.
Feedbacks.

And more... I broke them down for my friend, and he was happy.

My financial mistakes series

I love collaboration, and this makes me do things by going extra mile.

And more of it when we were educated to have multiple streams of income. So, I saw a fish pond done by a friend, and I thought we could do partnership as a particular amount of money was doing nothing in my account at that time. I asked my friend if he wanted to expand, and he said yes. We had a talk and off we went, to bank.

He had 2 fish ponds as at the time I visited his farm, had 2 wheel barrow and few equipment... weeks after, my friend added 1 pond to it.

I did not step into the farm until the day he told me Rain fell and washed away all the fishes... I couldn't cry because I was almost broke at that point.

Then, I remembered a business conference I attended and one of the facilitators told us "never invest in business you don't understand".

Now, I don learn my lesson. It's one of my #FinancialMistakes

Perception is Key

Perception is key. It is what separates your brand from other brands.

Indomie, Golden Penny, Dangote and many produce noodles, but one of them stands out. In fact, most people go for the brand that resonates more with them. Brands that connect with them emotionally.

Your brand should be the one they want to associate with. Never let your story be told without emotional appeal to consumers and customers.

At HOUSE OF INNOVA COMMUNICATIONS, we help you create, manage and project the right message to the right audience.

Red Flag from President Buhari

Red Flag:

Anybody who decides to snatch boxes or lead thugs to disturb the election, maybe that would be the last unlawful action you would take. I have given the military and police the order to be ruthless. I am going to warn anybody who thinks he would lead a body of thugs in his locality to snatch boxes or to disturb the voting system; he would do it at the expense of his/her own life

— Muhammadu Buhari, President of Nigeria, 18 February 2019
