Toye Ogunwole's Vision for Tech About It 1.0: Bridging Media and Digital Innovation
Before the panels, conversations, and ideas that will shape Tech About It 1.0, there is a visionary mind behind it all. Toye Ogunwole is not merely organizing an event; he is curating a dialogue born from his extensive experience in Nigeria's media and creative landscape.
A Journey Through Media and Technology
Toye Ogunwole's career spans storytelling, production, strategy, and platform development, positioning him at the crossroads of content and structure. His early contributions as a co-writer for projects like Omo Ghetto: The Saga and Jenifa's Diary at SceneOne Production laid the foundation. He later led as Head of Channel at iBrand TV (StarTimes Channel 143), driving broadcast innovation.
At Buckwyld Media, he spearheaded productions and events, while at Guguru Media, he crafted strategies that elevated actors such as Adunni Ade and Uzor Arukwe. His role as Head of Media, Content & Strategy at Nairametrics redefined digital storytelling in finance media, introducing formats like Drinks & Mics that merged culture with financial insights.
Ogunwole has also developed content for talents like Kiekie and brands including TransferGo, and pioneered Murder on Space X, the first Twitter Spaces drama, challenging narrative conventions on emerging platforms. Currently, as Chief Operations Director at MMD Ltd and founder of Toye Ogunwole Production LTD, he continues to explore the intersection of media, business, and technology.
The Philosophy Behind Tech About It 1.0
Beyond accolades like the Leadership Excellence Award at Nairametrics, Ogunwole's work is guided by a core belief: the future belongs to those who comprehend systems, not just those seeking visibility within them. This principle inspired Tech About It 1.0, addressing a gap he has observed—young creatives pursuing exposure without grasping the infrastructure that fuels opportunity.
In his words, "The internet has removed the gate. But too many people are still waiting outside it." The event aims to shift this mindset, moving beyond hype to practical understanding of streaming platforms, data, distribution systems, digital products, and audience behavior.
Tech About It 1.0 is designed as a space for clarity, empowering participants to build without waiting for permission. It targets individuals ready to understand systems, position themselves strategically, and drive innovation in media, music, and technology.
