Celebrity fashion entrepreneur Toyin Lawani has emphasised the vital role of authenticity in building and promoting a successful brand.
According to Lawani, as the founder and face of a brand, no one understands its story, values, and mission better than the creator.
She noted that personal involvement in promotion allows one’s genuine passion to shine through, making it easier to connect with audiences and build trust.

She advised entrepreneurs not to hide behind their brands but to let their dedication and energy reflect publicly, as this helps create a powerful and relatable brand identity.
She wrote on Instagram: “What do you think is the most effective way to promote your brand? My 2 cents, someone once said if you don’t have the image, get someone else to promote your brand and I would say No, that’s not true, because you’re the founder, owner, and most passionate advocate for your brand! You’re the one who knows its story, values, and mission best.
“Your authenticity and enthusiasm are infectious, and people are more likely to trust and believe in your brand when you promote it yourself. Plus, you’re the most invested in its success, and your dedication shows! Never hide behind a brand.”
