Most founders rely on referrals and content alone. That works — until a competitor with press coverage takes the conversation before you enter the room.

Founder and architect
Ademola trained at PwC in Abuja, then moved to London as an audit manager at KPMG UK and Blick Rothenberg. Audit taught him the habit that runs through all of this: ask what evidence would have to exist before a claim can be trusted. He now runs K-Dems Consulting and hosts The King Dems Podcast and Diary of a CFO.
Before you book
The first measurable signals appear within three to six months, not week one. This is infrastructure, not a campaign — the press stays online and keeps working for years.
Every placement is real and verifiable. Premium puts your name on NBC, CBS, ABC and 200 other publications. Deluxe reaches Forbes-level press, Huff Mag, CEO Feature and America Post. We do not manufacture metrics or publish to non-indexed sites.
It stays live and is kept relevant on your behalf, with no maintenance fee. Featured founders close the gap between their work and their positioning over the following 24 to 36 months.
No. Nothing is templated. Each feature starts with your story, your goals and your space — so the opening work looks different for every founder.
