We are Leo Burnett Lagos, one of Nigeria’s fastest growing agencies based out of Africa’s most vibrant city.   Behind this growth is our people and philosophy. A philosophy driven by the belief that creativity has the power to transform human behavior. This is the core belief of what we call HUMANKIND (TM).

It’s marketing creativity to serve a human need because we are all about people and purpose. And we love it!   Our people come from all over Nigeria. A country with a thriving entrepreneurial spirit, with a fun and youthful population. In the Leo Burnett tradition, there’s always an apple waiting at the door and in the Nigerian tradition, it’s a welcome handshake and a hug.

So let’s help your brand find a purpose, give it a deeper meaning and relevance to the people. Because at Leo Burnett, that’s what we do. We achieve this in partnership with you.

Our 7+ GPC Scale is an internal evaluation system which leads every Leo Burnett office to a higher level of creativity. 7+ works have the power to change human behaviour and the world, and that’s our aim for every brief.

Some look at business problems as a set of numbers, but we look at it through a more human lens. Everything that matters in our business begins and ends with two things: People & Their Behaviour.

If we are able to make these tools work in our personal life as well as they do for our clients, we further prove we’ve been able to create work that truly inspires. Dream to be the world’s best creator of ideas that truly move people - bar none.
