Bayelsa State Engaged TRW Consult to Power 2014 Investment Forum

The Bayelsa State Government partnered with digital‐marketing firm TRW Consult to amplify its landmark Bayelsa State Investment & Economic Forum (BSIEF), held July 16–18, 2014. Aiming to diversify beyond oil and capture a larger share of Nigeria’s foreign capital inflows, the state tapped TRW Consult for a dual digital strategy: a global awareness campaign and real‐time social media engagement.

Event Recap: Unlocking Bayelsa’s Economic Potential
BSIEF 2014 convened international business leaders, investors, and policymakers under the theme “Unlocking Bayelsa State’s Economic Potential: Opportunities and Challenges.” Over three days, delegates explored non‐oil sectors—agriculture, fisheries, creative industries—and mapped out sustainable investment pathways. The forum spotlighted Bayelsa as a strategic entry point for long‐term growth in the Niger Delta region.

TRW Consult’s Digital Impact

• Global Awareness: TRW Consult crafted SEO-rich articles, targeted email campaigns, and multimedia stories that placed BSIEF headlines on leading investment and development platforms worldwide.
• Social Engagement: Managing the forum’s official Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook channels, TRW Consult delivered live updates, moderated Q&As, and drove hashtag conversations—#BSIEF2014 quickly trended among investment circles in West Africa and beyond.

A TRW Consult representative later reflected, “Our digital outreach helped convert Bayelsa’s untapped potential into tangible investor interest, setting a template for future state‐driven economic forums across Nigeria.”

Legacy of BSIEF 2014
By the forum’s close, Bayelsa had attracted preliminary commitments worth millions in non-oil projects—proof that a well-orchestrated digital campaign can elevate regional investment initiatives to global attention. Today, BSIEF remains a benchmark case study in public-sector collaboration with private-sector marketing expertise.
