Hello UTU Trust Guardians!

We are thrilled to announce that creative agency Yellow Brick Road will be UTU’s very first channel partner and will help us expand the adoption of our trust infrastructure in Nigeria!

Who is YBR?

YBR (Yellow Brick Road) is a Lagos, Nigeria-based creative solutions company that focuses on solving complex communication and business challenges in relevant, practical and creative ways.

YBR offers services such as strategy, digital marketing, design, and more, and has worked on advertising and social campaigns for some of the most-recognized brand names, including Canon, Unicef, First Bank, and others.

How will UTU and YBR work together?

UTU and YBR will work hand-in-hand to increase adoption of UTU’s trust infrastructure products in Nigeria.

The organizations will co-market and co-sell the Trust API and SDK, Creditworthiness API, UTU Protocol, and future products to Nigeria-based companies.

YBR is well-connected to many growing companies in Nigeria and can help us deliver our trust infrastructure to those who need it most — marketplaces and eCommerce companies in healthcare, mobility, family services, and other industries where trust is paramount.

YBR has already made many introductions and helped us acquire a pilot partner recently (stay tuned for more news about that).

We are very excited about this partnership with UTU. It takes us one step further to achieving our ambition of being the leading creative solutions company in Nigeria. We look forward to partnering with UTU to solve some of our clients’ business problems.”

— Kaliko Olumide, Managing Director / CEO of Yellow Brick Road

— Jason Eisen, Co-Founder and CEO of UTU
