LOS ANGELES, USA // Chidera is a Creative Lead on the Netflix Marketing Partnerships team, overseeing promotional campaigns across both series and films. She collaborates with leading consumer brands and creative agencies to concept and execute campaigns in support of Netflix’s biggest releases, including Squid Game, Bridgerton, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, Love is Blind and Emily in Paris.

Across her work, Chidera embraces a culture-first philosophy.

She believes successful entertainment partnerships capture and reflect the conversations, debates and hot-takes of their audiences, resulting in campaigns that don't just respond to culture but embed within it.
