Hello
My name is Folake Dosu. I scribbled on the walls as a toddler and never stopped writing. 🖊️I’m drawn to people, platforms and places that value and build community, culture and connection. I love dreaming up creative ways to do all three. 🌳I'm also obsessed with the chaos and wonder of Internet culture and sharing all the good stuff with anyone who’ll listen. 💻
Work
From nonprofit and for-profit to startups and Fortune 500, my work is a constellation. 💫 Versatility, curiosity and passion connect the dots.I shine brightest when launching and marketing platforms and communities that invest in forward-thinking, inclusive programming, content and tools.In addition to hosting corporate events as the founder of Trivia For The Culture 🤓 and connecting diverse professionals through Find Your People Here 💼, I currently run a marketing consultancy called Fans In Focus that helps mission-driven organizations build awareness, deepen brand affinity, foster retention, build community and inspire word-of-mouth buzz. 💖I learned a thing or two about building fanship as a former marketing executive engaging Disney, Pixar, Marvel Studios, Star Wars and Fox superfans through The Walt Disney Studios’ reimagined loyalty platform, now Disney+ Perks.
About
I grew up and currently live in the Chicago area and will gladly let you know its many virtues immediately upon meeting you. ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶My winter-dodging ways led me to California, first to Stanford 🌴 (BA in Science, Technology and Society), and then, after working in Chicago's startup scene, returned to the Bay, this time to UC Berkeley 🐻 (MBA). While there, I pivoted to entertainment and moved to LA ☀️ after graduation, where I rose through the ranks as a marketing leader at Disney.When I'm not consulting rising brands to develop an integrated marketing approach via fan engagement, I'm a fan of many things: music, reading, food, documentaries and vintage. 💗
