TRW Consult Powers Digital Campaign for YouWIN! 3 – Expanding Reach to Youth Nationwide
By Bede
LAGOS, NIGERIA – 2014 — Building on the success of its previous engagement with YouWIN! 2, TRW Consult was again contracted to design and execute the digital and social media campaign for YouWIN! 3, the third phase of the Federal Government’s flagship Youth Enterprise with Innovation in Nigeria (YouWIN!) program.
Campaign Overview
YouWIN! 3 was a nationwide business-plan competition launched in November 2013, open to both male and female entrepreneurs aged up to 40, offering grants between ₦1 million and ₦10 million, and aiming to spark widespread youth-led enterprise development. It ultimately funded over 2,500 businesses, creating thousands of jobs.
Having previously achieved remarkable visibility for YouWIN! 2—with more than 11 million ad impressions on Facebook and videos across 1,200+ websites, com—TRW Consult was tasked with scaling that success for the YouWIN! 3 campaign.
Digital Strategy & Execution
TRW Consult crafted a dynamic digital strategy centered around:
- Social media management and audience engagement across platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram
- Targeted display, video, and search ads through Google and high-traffic Nigerian web portals
- Scaling outreach with demographic and device segmentation, ensuring mobile-first accessibility
Leveraging the momentum and best practices from YouWIN! 2, TRW Consult ensured that the YouWIN! 3 digital campaigns remained highly visible and resonant across urban and rural communities.
Campaign Impact & Legacy
- Extended reach to millions of Nigerian youths via social channels
- High visibility during the call-for-application and grant stages
- Helped sustain awareness and participation in one of Nigeria’s largest youth entrepreneurship drives
While specific metrics for YouWIN! 3 have not been publicly released, the program’s scale—engaging tens of thousands of applicants and disbursing a significant portfolio of grants—underscores the importance of strategic digital amplification in nationwide initiatives.
