TNB: What inspired you to focus on women in Ghana?

Patty: I wouldn’t say I intentionally focused on women but according to statistics more than 55% of the market i cater to are populated by women so majority of the businesses I work with are owned by women but i also have male clients.

TNB: How do you assist women entrepreneurs in building thriving businesses?

Patty: We first tackle your capacity as an individual, the person driving the vehicle of the business must be skilled or else the vehicle will crash, then we go on to building a marketing strategy that attracts the right customers that will generate revenue for the business.

TNB: What types of businesses do you work with?

Patty: I focus solely on businesses that are looking to dominate their industries by maximizing the use of digital platforms. This spans from fast moving consumer goods, to service businesses then to individuals who are looking to build personal brands that can be monetized. So long as the solution you are offering is viable, it is marketable.

TNB: Can Patty’s strategies be applied to any industry?

Patty: It’s not a one size fits all situation, even though most of the marketing principles are the same, they have to be tailored according to the brand’s niche and the customer’s pain points. 

TNB: What makes Patty’s approach unique?

Patty: Two factors make my approach unique; The God Factor: I believe that because God created consumers, He is the best person to tell us how to satisfy their needs so we always have to be in tune with Him. 

The second approach is that I am very curious about consumer behavior and this has helped me gather insights about marketing that works. Majority of the time I know what consumers will respond to and what they won’t respond to, what will drive conversions and what won’t. 

TNB: Does Patty offer resources for aspiring women entrepreneurs?

Patty: Yes I do..Whether you are a beginner or you are midway through your entrepreneurial journey I offer clarity to entrepreneurs. No matter the stage you’re at, I can help.
