There are companies whose sole business objective is to make other companies succeed; Ice-One is one of those companies. A uniquely built management Consulting firm with years of experience within the west coast of Africa, Ice-One has carved out a niche for itself with a growing portfolio of successes as proof of its unique and effective positioning. With a team of dedicated young men and women, you might wonder how Ice-One has been able to achieve so much, working with great brands, and standing out as true innovators. We sat down with their Director of Business Development and Client Services, Mr. Ikenna Onuorah.. Head Of Operations, Joy Johnson and Creative Director, Gboyega Osunkoya, find out how.

Tell us a little about Ice-One…who are you and what do you do?

Mr. Ikenna: Ice-One is a management consulting firm rendering consultancy services in marketing and sales, business technology, corporate strategy, operations and organization. We’re uniquely wired and have our niche, connecting clients Clients to the Generation Y. Our media arm, Ice-One Media is also the brain behind “The Spark” and in a strategic partnership with Vanguard Media Limited, birthed “Vanguard Spark”.. A Youth Empowerment Platform.

Businesses are always looking to attract attention, how do you make your clients stand out from the crowd?

Ms. Joy: We believe in and are excited by every brand we take on. That belief and excitement is what helps us become more than consultants and more of an integral—interwoven part of those brands. In that way we see each company successes as our own. Since Ice-one is in itself a team of young industry leaders and unique minded innovators, we are able to impart that distinctive mix and freshness to every project we take on. Of course we do our homework on every case, by doing thorough analyses on their consumer, industry, competition, operations, and much more. This helps us identify problem areas and offer case and brand specific solutions. It’s what sets us apart and also as a result sets the brands we help apart as well. The evidence is in our body of work.

Your vision is to be the number one indigenous management consulting company out of West Africa by 2016. How will you achieve this?

Mr. Ikenna: It’s simple really…we will continue to innovate, offer world-class–out of the box thinking management consulting and we will continue to empower people and corporations alike. This is the sum of what our name is…Innovation, Consulting and Empowerment all wrapped in one package. Some of our clients like Airtel and The CHISCO Group among others are drivers of their industry in and out of Nigeria. We are taking the I.C.E factor to the Big guns within West Africa, and also triggering the growth of the young guns to drive the region’s economy.

What’s next after you have achieved this goal?

Mr. Gboyega: We shoot even higher…we remix our vision and aim to be the number one home grown management consulting firm out of Africa and then the world. We won’t stop, we don’t stop, and we can’t stop!
