At AYKO Agency, we are dedicated to discovering and nurturing talent from underrepresented regions in Africa, starting with Nigeria. Our goal is to provide a global platform for these talents to shine. One shining example of our mission in action is the story of Abisola, a talented model from Nigeria.
Welcoming Abisola to the UK
In January 2024, we were excited to welcome Abisola to the UK. This move was part of our African Talent Discovery programme at AYKO Agency, aimed at helping African models and talents gain international exposure and build successful careers.
Abisola’s Journey
Abisola’s journey with AYKO Agency began when she was one of the winners of our African Talent Discovery initiative in 2021. Recognising her potential, we invited her to the UK to expand her reach in the modelling industry.
Expanding Opportunities
In the UK, Abisola participated in a walk-in casting and successfully signed with Base Models. This achievement marked a significant milestone in her career. Additionally, EMKAI Model Agency took on Abisola, enabling her to walk during London Fashion Week, a prestigious event in the fashion world.
Building Her Portfolio
While in the UK, Abisola worked with several photographers, which helped her build a diverse and impressive portfolio. These opportunities have been instrumental in advancing her career and showcasing her talent on an international stage.
From Local to Global
Abisola’s story is a testament to our commitment to elevating African talent from local to global platforms. By providing these opportunities, we aim to help more talented individuals like Abisola achieve their dreams and gain the recognition they deserve.
Conclusion
At AYKO Agency, we are proud to support African talent and provide them with the opportunities to succeed globally. Abisola’s success is just the beginning, and we look forward to sharing more inspiring stories as we continue our mission. Stay tuned for more updates from AYKO Agency as we champion African talent worldwide.
