Really Simple Social built a tool that changed advertising in Nigeria

In advertising, agencies always have to balance the client’s expectations and deliverables without overshooting the client’s budget. So, getting a tool that works was important. The first objective was to provide social media marketing services that delivered to client expectations while being cost-effective. So, they built a solution to cater to that need and now help other agencies get the same result for their clients, not just in Nigeria but worldwide.

The rise of AI offers several benefits to society at large. It also ushers in security concerns. Social engineers are already using Generative AI to create sophisticated phishing campaigns.
