Develop a Strategic Marketing Roadmap and Brand Positioning for NexoAfrica
We are looking to collaborate with a skilled volunteer to develop a clear and actionable marketing strategy that will strengthen NexoAfrica’s brand and support the growth of our programs and community.

Specifically, we would like support in refining our brand positioning and messaging to clearly communicate who we are, who we serve, and the value we provide to young African professionals and global partners. We are also seeking guidance on building a focused marketing strategy that helps us increase awareness, engagement, and participation across our platforms.

Volunteer Responsibilities

Defining our target audiences and how to effectively reach them

Developing a content strategy for platforms like LinkedIn and Instagram

Recommending a posting cadence and growth approach

Providing feedback on our current marketing materials and overall brand presence

Outlining a 30–60 day marketing roadmap aligned with upcoming programs and events

Given the time commitment (2–5 hours per week), we are aiming for a strategic, advisory‑focused engagement rather than full execution. The goal is to walk away with a clear direction, frameworks, and actionable recommendations that our team can implement internally.

This project will directly support our ability to scale our impact by connecting more young African professionals to career opportunities, mentorship, and global initiatives.

Project Impact
Ultimately, this project is about more than marketing—it is about building a stronger bridge between talent in the diaspora and opportunities that can shape careers, communities, and long‑term economic development.

Strategic Outcomes

Increase visibility of our programs and initiatives

Drive greater participation in our professional development cohorts and events

Strengthen our ability to attract partners, mentors, and institutional collaborators

Expand our reach and impact across communities we serve

Beneficiaries

Career resources and skill‑building opportunities

Meaningful professional networks

Pathways into industries such as finance, technology, policy, and entrepreneurship

Volunteer Support and Resources

Scheduling regular weekly check‑ins

Providing clear and timely feedback on deliverables

Being open to recommendations and strategic guidance

We have identified a dedicated point of contact who will be responsible for coordinating with the volunteer, providing timely feedback, and ensuring consistent communication throughout the engagement. We have already gathered key materials, including our existing branding assets, social media platforms, past marketing efforts, and program outlines, to allow the volunteer to quickly understand our current positioning and identify opportunities for improvement without starting from scratch.

We are committed to being an engaged and responsive partner by implementing the outcomes of this project. Our team will directly apply the marketing strategy, content framework, and recommendations developed through this engagement to support upcoming initiatives—including our professional development cohorts, partnerships, and community programming.

NexoAfrica exists to empower young African professionals and their global counterparts by giving them the tools, connections, and platforms to thrive locally and globally.
