A storytelling mastermind: How Shallytech is making technology simple, relatable, and trusted

By Tolu Oke

Shalom Ogo-Ayorinde has never believed that technology should feel distant, confusing, or cold. That belief would later shape the identity of ShallyTech, the name he is now professionally known by, and the work that has positioned him as one of Nigeria’s most distinctive tech influencers and digital marketing strategists.

From the start of his career, Shalom noticed a gap in how technology was communicated. Most tech content focused on specs, trends, and fast-paced reviews, leaving everyday users unsure how these tools fit into their lives. In October 2022, he began creating content to bridge that gap, using storytelling to make technology practical, relatable, and easy to understand.

That choice marked a defining transition. Shalom began using visual, story-driven narratives to explain technology, leaning into cinematic pacing, high-quality visuals, and everyday situations. Through short-form videos, he showed technology in action, not as features on a screen, but as tools shaping daily experiences. Complex digital concepts became easier to understand, relatable, and human.

His Instagram, now with over 140k followers, quickly became the stage for this storytelling style, drawing strong engagement not just for entertainment, but for the trust it inspires. By placing tech products, platforms, and tools within real-world contexts, ShallyTech has become a trusted voice for young Nigerians navigating smartphones, digital services, and online platforms, while his TikTok audience has grown to over 200k, amplifying his reach even further.

What truly distinguishes his work is the structure behind the storytelling. Each piece of content is intentionally designed to hold attention, guide understanding, and influence perception. Drawing from his background in digital marketing and funnel strategy, Shalom approaches content with the precision of a strategist, ensuring that every story serves a clear purpose.

Beyond influence, he works closely with brands, startups, and entrepreneurs to design digital funnels, optimize conversions, and build communication strategies that turn attention into action. This blend of cinematic storytelling and marketing strategy allows him to deliver clarity, credibility, and measurable impact which goes beyond visibility.

His storytelling extends further through long-form, documentary-style videos on YouTube, where he has over 12k subscribers who trust his insights. In these projects, ShallyTech explores deeper issues such as digital habits, internet infrastructure, platform design, consumer manipulation, and the ways global technology decisions affect users in emerging markets like Nigeria. These documentaries provide depth and context, encouraging audiences to think more critically about the digital world around them.

Over the years, ShallyTech has partnered with leading local and international technology brands, including Samsung, Airtel, Tecno, Ecoflow, Bybit, Oraimo, itel, and Ultrahuman, on campaigns centered around product adoption, digital education, and consumer awareness. By seamlessly combining cinematic storytelling with measurable marketing impact, his work highlights a shift in Nigeria’s tech media landscape, where trust, compelling narratives, and strategic communication are now valued just as highly as reach.

Through ShallyTech, Shalom Ogo-Ayorinde continues to build a distinct voice at the intersection of technology, cinema, and digital growth. He is not just explaining technology. He is reshaping how people connect with it, understand it, and trust it.
