"I fell asleep and I heard a TV commercial basically saying bookingsafrica.com, the #1 online platform for service providers across Africa. 'Cause I remember, like, literally jumping up out of my sleep. I go, finally, this website will be perfect for my production company... I was like, great, let me go on to the website to see if I can find this location that I need and, literally, I woke up and my TV was off. And I thought, wait, did NEPA take light? Or what's going on? I was like, okay, there's still light. I don't know what's happening. But let me just check, I remember the name of the website. And I went bookingsafrica.com, and the website's available to purchase..." - Fadé Ogunro, Founder & CEO, Bookings Africa.
What is particularly curious about Bookings Africa is that the name came to Fadé in a bizarre dream - a dream she had in 2016. But, how did Bookings Africa move from a bizarre dream to a platform that now has over 20,000 service providers, clients and partners combined?
On this episode, the concluding part of our chat with Fadé Ogunro, we will explore Fadé starting a new life in Nigeria after her return from the UK. Fadé will talk about the birth and growth of Film Factory, a multi-award video production company she co-founded with her brother in 2011, as well as her latest venture, Bookings Africa, a pan-African on-demand digital marketplace for the entertainment, media, and lifestyle industries.
Fadé is the Founder & CEO of Bookings Africa.
