JOE Anatune’s Final Home Journey Begins On June 22nd, 2022

 

 

The quintessential Joe, the Big Brand Builder, the great man from Awa, the Onwa of Awa, the man who epitomised and wore ‘Simplicity’ and ‘Humility’ as a cloth, the peaceful and kind-hearted man, the Brand Management Specialist and Marketing Communications guru. His final home journey begins on June 22nd, 2022.

 

Joe Anatune was gracious till death. He died on April 30, 2022 at the age of 62 years. He was until his death the founder and MD/CEO of B3 Communications Limited, Faces & Profile Limited, Light & Shade Limited and until recently, he was appointed the MD/CEO Anambra Signage and Advertising Agency by Governor Chukwuma Charles Soludo.

 

If there was any way the dead could be revived and brought back to life, this would have been one death that mankind would have done everything possible to reverse.

 

Joe was simply a man of many parts, completely de-tribalized and always ready to render help. He lived and died in the service of God and humanity, but God knows the best and we cannot question His decisions.

 

Joe was one of the sons of Chief and Mrs Gabriel Anatune (both late), of the Anatune family in the Nweke extended family, Umunzekwe clan, Eziobuikpa village, Awa town, Orumba North LGA of Anambra State.

 

He was an Integrated Marketing Communications practitioner. After working for some organizations at top management levels, he established the b3 Communications Group – an advertising agency with a good number of employees, many of whom are Ndi Anambra.

 

In his lifetime, he utilized his professionalism in serving Anambra State in various capacities including, but not limited to:

 

(1) Publicity Secretary, League of Anambra Professionals (LAP).

 

(2) Creator/Administrator, Anambra Alliance (AA), a vibrant social media platform of Anambra professionals, Technocrats and Business Moguls.

 

(3) Convener/Leader, Soludo Promoters Forum (SPF).
