Vanessa Obioha writes that media entrepreneur and founder of Communiqué, David Adeleke, remains relentless in his ambition to build a multimillion-dollar media company.

David Adeleke is on a roll.

In the past few months, he has unveiled one product after another to the thousands of subscribers who follow Communiqué, the newsletter he founded during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Just this morning, I received a newsletter announcing Creative Capital, a video essay series exploring the people, companies and forces shaping Africa’s media and creative landscape.

According to him, “Creative Capital is an extension of what we’ve built over the past six years: longform, data-driven, narrative essays.”

In May, he launched the Communiqué’s Inner Circle, inviting readers to directly support the editorial work undertaken by him and his team.
