Adisa emerges AAAN president

The Chief Executive Officer of Noah’s Ark Communications Limited, Lanre Adisa, has emerged as the 22nd president of the Association of Advertising Agencies of Nigeria.

A statement noted that Adisa was elected unopposed by members of the association at the 51st annual general meeting of the association in Abeokuta, Ogun State recently.

Adisa took over the reign of leadership of AAAN from Steve Babaeko to steer the ship of the professional body for the next two years.

Adisa, who had spent over three decades in the advertising industry, cut his teeth with MC&A; Saatchi & Saatchi as a trainee copywriter before moving to Rosabel Advertising.

Thereafter, he had a stint at Franchise and later Insight Grey, where he left to join TBWA Concept.

According to the statement, in 2008, driven by the passion to set standards in the industry, he embarked on his entrepreneurial voyage with the establishment of Noah’s Ark Communications Limited.

Until he emerged as AAAN president, he had served on various committees of the association, including being chairman of the Membership Committee and the Constitution Review Committee.

“Over the last one and a half decades, he has been actively involved in the development and growth of the advertising industry culminating in his appointment as the chairman of Lagos Advertising Ideas Festival in 2020, a position he held for three years,” the association stated.

Adisa promised to continue on the legacies and achievements of his predecessor by ensuring that the association becomes more inclusive and representative in a way that everyone would be proud of.

He assured members that the leadership under his watch would work tirelessly to ensure that the professional body takes pride of place in promoting the interests of member agencies not only locally but globally.

“We will seek collaborations. We will partner with relevant stakeholders to give member agencies a sense of hope and belief in what holds us together,” he added.
