Redwire Group

What Redwire Group does

Redwire Group is a privately held, Nigeria-headquartered marketing consulting firm founded in 1999 by Temitayo Etomi, operating from offices in Lagos, Abuja and London with a workforce of 101-250. The firm positions itself as an 'insights-driven marketing consultant' that combines business and consumer intelligence with creative brand work, and sells three integrated services through a direct, sales-led engagement model: Marketing Consulting (strategy and execution support), Insights & Intelligence (data-driven market research and competitive intelligence, evidenced by primary-research projects such as the Warner Bros Nollywood study of 350+ interviews across 23 states), and Brand Design (visual identity and brand systems built via its proprietary DesignFurnace methodology, which codifies the evaluation of brand realities and aspirations into physical, emotional and sensorial outputs).

The firm's customer base spans large enterprises (Coca-Cola, Warner Bros, MTN, Google, Microsoft, Access Bank, Swiss Capital & Partners, Rencredit, The Palms Mall, Yosemite, 358 & Madison, Paelon Memorial Clinic), public-sector clients (Delta State Government, Central Bank of Nigeria, Lagos State Government, Edo State Government, Federal Government of Nigeria) and development organisations (Young Business Leaders of Nigeria), giving it unusual sector breadth for a mid-sized Nigerian consultancy. Marketing channels are organic and content-led (corporate website, LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, published thought-leadership articles and case studies), while distribution is direct via the business development team and professional referrals; pricing is quote-based and project-specific with no public rates.

The revenue model is professional services: fees charged on a project or retainer basis for consulting engagements, with revenue split across enterprise, government and nonprofit clients rather than any single dominant anchor account. There is no disclosed funding, no parent company, no subsidiaries and no M&A history; the firm remains founder-led, with Temitayo Etomi serving as Group CEO. No AI/ML, API, SDK or platform product is offered, so competitive differentiation rests on the DesignFurnace process, the integrated three-service model and the depth of its case-study library rather than on technology assets.
