Dawa Thompson — Founder of DawaSuya Worldwide production company

Dawa Thompson

Founder — DawaSuya Worldwide · Lagos · Nairobi

I studied film in the States before landing at an ad agency in Lagos. Red Bull asked me to quit my job to help them make cool work in West Africa. I said yes. That was the beginning of DawaSuya Worldwide. While I was doing cool Red Bull stuff, a director friend asked me to help him make some music videos. I said yes again.

Fast forward ten years and dozens of projects later; DawaSuya Worldwide is a company built on service to cool creative projects that push the boundaries of what is expected from production destinations across Africa.

Ask me anything.
