Q & A with Oliver
What do you do at Konichiwa? I help independent businesses to communicate better by making their messaging clear and consistent, so that Konichiwa’s amazing creatives have a strong blueprint to work from. Why do you love working with independently minded businesses? I love people who have the courage to strike out on their own and create an enterprise they really believe in. When I work with them, I genuinely want them to succeed. What inspires you? I find all independent businesses inspiring, but especially if they have a social mission. I get to work with a lot of social enterprises at Konichiwa, and it’s always uplifting. What do you do when you’re not working at Konichiwa? Hang out with my daughter Kiki, drink coffee, read books and watch my local football team. What tips would you give businesses when it comes to communications strategy? My main tip is: have a strategy! You can waste a lot of time churning out meaningless content, especially on social media, if you haven’t thought through what your most important messages are.
