AYKO is a London and Lagos-based creative agency connecting brands, talent, and opportunities across Africa, the diaspora, and beyond. Through partnerships, strategic development, and project delivery, we help ideas, people, and organisations create opportunities and bring projects to life.
We help brands engage African and diaspora audiences through partnerships, campaigns, and experiences that drive visibility, engagement, and growth.
We help turn ideas into reality through strategy, partnerships, production, and execution.
We connect talent and creatives with opportunities, collaborations, and platforms that support long-term growth and visibility.
ATD is AYKO's talent discovery and development initiative focused on identifying, developing, and connecting emerging talent and creatives with industry access, platforms, and experiences. Through castings, workshops, bootcamps, and community activations, ATD gives AYKO direct access to talent and communities. It is what makes AYKO's access different.
Ayoola works in financial services and has firsthand experience navigating the creative industry as a model and someone who has lived that world from the inside. Her understanding of both commercial structure and creative culture shapes the way AYKO approaches talent, partnerships, and opportunity.
Koya brings over two decades of senior leadership experience at one of the UK’s leading FTSE-listed companies, advising executive teams on governance, organisational structure, and strategic decision-making. At AYKO, he brings that same discipline and long-term thinking.
