What makes this CV work
- Opens with a measurable growth outcome (400K → 2.1M users) - the single most powerful kind of marketing CV lead.
- CAC vs industry average quoted - demonstrates understanding of unit economics, not just vanity metrics.
- Budget size listed (₦240M quarterly) - signals the scale of marketing operations the candidate can run.
- Specific campaigns named (Davido endorsement, Chop Life, Star Trek festival) - verifiable, culturally recognised, and attach measurable outcomes to each.
- APCON membership listed - mandatory for senior marketing roles in Nigeria, often overlooked by candidates.
Tailoring this for your application
- Lead with growth metrics (users, revenue, CAC, CPL) - vague "led successful campaign" phrasing kills marketing CVs.
- Name specific brands and campaigns you worked on - makes your experience verifiable.
- Include APCON membership if applicable - required for most senior Nigerian marketing roles.
- List budget scale (quarterly / annual spend you've managed) - the strongest signal of seniority.
- Platform certifications (Google, Meta, TikTok) matter at junior/mid-career but less at senior - don't let them push business outcomes down the page.
