The most telling aspect of Isreal Jaiye Opayemi’s title at Chain Reactions is Chief Strategist and it says a lot about a man who continues to provide valuable insights and perspectives on the Public Relations industry in Nigeria while stressing the essence of strategic storytelling, reputation management, and effective communication.
Widely regarded by many as one of the leading figures in the public relations and reputation management industry in Nigeria and beyond, Opayemi’s election as President of the Public Relations Consultants Association of Nigeria (PRCAN) and performance in office solidified that reputation. While in office between 2019 and 2024, he focused on professionalism, advocacy, and capacity building within the industry.
As a frontline expert, one of his core tactics is forging strategic partnerships, leading to the selection of Chain Reactions as the Exclusive Nigerian Affiliate and Preferred West Africa Partner of Edelman, the world’s largest PR firm.
With a client roster including Facebook, HP, 9mobile, First Bank of Nigeria, and Polaris Bank, among several others, Opayemi has emphasised the vital role public relations plays for businesses, particularly startups, in building trust, managing crises, and driving growth at many fora.
Some of his awards including Outstanding PR Personality of the Year, PR Practitioner of the Year and Most Influential PR Professional Award at the 2024 LaPRIGA Awards, showcase his continued impact and influence in the industry.
