Dawa Thompson — Founder of DawaSuya Worldwide production company

Dawa Thompson

Founder — DawaSuya Worldwide · East & West Africa

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 working on Red Bull projects, a director friend asked me to help him make a music video. I said yes again.

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

Let's make something epic.
