MEET
THE Creative Powerhouse and Founder of Cluebox
Elijah Aihie
Elijah Aihie is an award-winning creative, innovator, and the brilliant mind behind Cluebox, a top-tier branding and design agency making waves across Africa.
Education
Elijah’s entrepreneurial spark ignited early—while he was studying Mathematics and Computer Science at the University of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT). His natural knack for fixing problems led to a fun side hustle: designing and selling cool, themed stickers to students and city folks. After graduation, he took his passion to the next level, earning a Master’s in Creative Advertising from the prestigious Falmouth University in Cornwall, UK
Making His Mark in London
His talent was recognized almost immediately after his Master’s. He clinched a win in the highly competitive D&AD Graduate Academy competition, with a game-changing campaign for Hewlett Packard (HP).
His work successfully positioned the HP Workstation as the go-to choice over Apple’s iMac for UK creatives! This success cemented his status as one of the UK’s emerging creative stars, with his portfolio showcased on the D&AD Spotlight website, making him a pioneering member of the Graduate Academy.
Elijah then honed his skills in London’s fast-paced agency world. He worked as an Art Director at the global advertising agency Legas Delaney (with clients like Timberland, Skoda, and Glenfiddich) and later at Start JG (handling exciting projects for Barclays Bank and Footlockers Adidas).
