Who Is Ẹnitan?
Ẹnitan Kẹhinde is a programme and communications leader with over a decade of experience delivering complex, multi-year initiatives for global brands.
Currently General Manager and Lead Consultant at BHM UK, she leads a team across EMEA serving clients including Google, Heineken, The Macallan, Coca-Cola, and Coursera.
Ẹnitan is a member of both the CIPR and PRCA.
Ẹnitan’s career began in her early teens, writing for City People Magazine while completing her secondary education and undergraduate degree in Mass Communication at Redeemer’s University, where she first discovered the power of a well-told story.
After completing a Masters in Public Relations at Sheffield Hallam University, she joined Volkswagen’s crisis communications team in the UK, managing sensitive, high-profile issues during a period of significant organisational change. She then moved to Nigeria at 23 to join BHM, rising rapidly from graduate intern to Lead Consultant, spearheading campaigns and projects across Pan-African ICT and FMCG portfolios for over 20 brands, achieving 95%+ on-time delivery across concurrent projects.
Since 2021, Ẹnitan has led BHM’s first out-of-Africa operations in the UK, expanding the firm’s footprint across London and Edinburgh while supporting Pan-African growth in Kenya, Tanzania, Ghana and key cities in francophone Africa.
She has co-authored the BHM Guide to Public Relations, led and contributed to The Concept of Virality, and served as Lead Coordinator for the Nigeria PR Report and Africa PR & Communications Report, publications collectively reaching 50K+ industry professionals globally.
Ẹnitan doesn’t just work in the communications industry, she helps shape it. Since co-conceptualising World PR Day in 2020, she has built it from an idea to a global movement, coordinating 18,000+ participants across 60+ countries and reaching 100M+ people worldwide.
She also serves as Lead Project Adviser for the Global Day of Influence, reaching 10M+ people annually and architecting the reusable programme frameworks that underpin both events year on year.
But the work Ẹnitan is most proud of is people.
In 2020, at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, she founded WIMConnect, a community for women in marketing and communications that has grown into a thriving global network, mentoring 200+ emerging leaders, 85% of whom achieved promotions within 18 months.
She regularly lectures at Sheffield Hallam University, the University of Westminster, and the University of Gloucestershire, and is currently building native AI tools to aid work across the industry.
From a classroom in Lagos to boardrooms across London, Nairobi, and beyond, Ẹnitan’s career has always been about one thing: building things that last.
