Meet the people behind The Xperience.

Temitope Ruth Jacob — known to many as The Brand Queen — is a branding and marketing strategist dedicated to shaping how African brands grow, show up, and succeed. She is the Founder and CEO of Elegance Inspired Limited, the corporate branding and marketing company behind Brand Xperience, and the architect of its programs: SPROUT, BrandUp, The Resonance Blueprint, and Own Your Name.

Her work spans branding, marketing, communication, advertising, and strategy — for startups and established companies across technology, fashion, real estate, healthcare, and consumer goods. She has trained over 2,000 Nigerians in digital marketing across 22 states, and teaches branding and marketing as an instructor at O2 Academy in Abuja. She has also served as branding strategist for platforms like the PerformX Nexus Summit and Yantic Business Academy's Marketing Conference.

Beyond the boardroom, she serves as Community Director at Dream Centre Trybe, where she mentors 700+ young leaders across Nigerian universities in leadership, faith, and entrepreneurship. She is the author of Your Authentic Signature, a personal branding handbook covering self-discovery, strategic planning, and brand communication.

She holds an MSc in Marketing and Sales from Rome Business School, a BSc from Ahmadu Bello University, and certifications in Brand Management and Digital Marketing from the London School of Business Administration. Her philosophy is simple: a successful brand is more than a logo and colour scheme — it is the expression of your values, vision, and mission, presented with intention and consistency.
