<strong>The</strong> <strong>BusinessDay</strong> <strong>CEO</strong>, Oct 2017 | 41<br />

How do you see your business growing in<br />

the next 5 years?<br />

We'll continue to employ women; less<br />

privileged women include single mothers<br />

and women who have been abandoned by<br />

their husbands. <strong>The</strong>y're not just employees<br />

but stakeholders of the company and it just<br />

won't work without them. I also see my<br />

business going global because of the<br />

internet; like I said earlier, I'm obsessed with<br />

digital marketing and I am excited about the<br />

potential the internet has for my business.<br />

Speaking of digital marketing, how would<br />

you say social media has helped your<br />

career?<br />

Let me use this as an example; I have a show<br />

called ''On the carpet with Bolinto”. A lot of<br />

people didn't know I was a presenter until<br />

that show; they just thought I was a fashion<br />

girl. It wasn't promoted as much back then<br />

because there was nothing really going on<br />

online; unlike now where you've got<br />

Facebook, YouTube and the likes. Social<br />

media has helped tremendously.<br />

You did it with your production company?<br />

Yes. It's the same company producing God's<br />

Wives and other stuff done before. So<br />

definitely, social media has helped with<br />

people getting to know who I am; fashion<br />

helped as well. It's a combination of both.
