The Man Who Inspired This Fellowship
A Pioneer. A Mentor. A Builder of Ghana's Creative Industry.
Daniel A. Twum Jnr. was a respected pioneer of Ghana's advertising industry and co-founder of Origin 8 Saatchi & Saatchi. Known for his passion for creativity and talent development, he played an important role in shaping the growth of marketing communications in Ghana.
The Daniel A. Twum Jnr. Fellowship honours his belief in nurturing the next generation of creative talent.
Throughout his career, Daniel contributed to some of Ghana's most respected marketing communications work. Beyond his professional achievements, he was admired for mentoring and inspiring young professionals entering the industry.
Daniel helped elevate creative standards within Ghana's advertising and marketing communications industry and championed the importance of investing in young talent.
Following his passing, the Ninani Group established the Daniel A. Twum Jnr. Award Scheme to recognise promising young creatives. The Fellowship now builds on that vision by providing mentorship, industry exposure, and hands-on learning for emerging creative leaders.
The D.A. Twum Jnr. Fellowship is a flagship program of The Ninani Group — a holding company of leading marketing communications businesses in Ghana. The fellowship represents the Group's commitment to industry development, talent investment, and honouring those who built the foundation we stand on.
