Celebrating his birthday today, Tobi Asehinde (MEng) looks back on a remarkable entrepreneurial journey that has taken him from the University of Portsmouth to the global stage. A self-starter who has never worked for a company, Tobi’s story is a testament to the transformative power of passion and dedication.
In the early days, from the confines of his bedroom, Tobi planted the seed that grew into the thriving Digital Marketing Skill Institute. The institute has now impacted over 150,000 individuals across 37 countries and 4 continents, with registered offices in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Nigeria.
Among his significant achievements, Tobi proudly announced his commitment to fostering inclusion and diversity through a partnership with the Challenge Fund for Youth Employment, generously funded by the Netherlands Government. This collaboration led to the launch of the Digital Marketing Women Employability and Entrepreneurship Program (DM-WEEP) in 2021, which has positively impacted over 4,000 young women in Nigeria and extended its reach across other African nations.
Innovation in the digital technology landscape has also been a hallmark of Tobi’s journey. His ventures, including Accredital, Wizlancer, and Hostlingo, have brought transformative solutions to the market, connecting digital talents, skilled freelancers, and small and medium businesses worldwide.
As Tobi celebrates another year of life, he is thrilled to announce the launch of The Digital Marketing Skills Scholarship for University Students Program. This ambitious initiative aims to award 100,000 scholarships by 2030 to university students across Africa. Beyond education, the program will offer mentorship to equip students to lead digital marketing businesses that not only compete on the global stage but also address Africa’s unemployment challenge. Together, Tobi and the scholarship recipients will work to foster a new generation that drives foreign exchange and powers Africa’s economic ascendancy.
Tobi Asehinde’s journey is a source of inspiration for entrepreneurs and change-makers worldwide. His dedication to social impact, innovation, and education showcases the positive influence one individual can have on the global stage. As he embarks on this new chapter with the scholarship program, the impact of his work promises to reach even greater heights.
