The firm

We work where communication meets decision-making.

From Mogadishu and Nairobi we support governments, development partners, United Nations agencies, non-governmental organizations and private companies to shape what they say, strengthen how they are seen, and reach the audiences that matter to them.

Our work combines the discipline of strategic communication with the craft of storytelling. We plan carefully, produce to international standard, and measure what we deliver — so every campaign, message and media engagement traces back to a clear objective.

In Somalia, Kenya and the wider region, context decides whether a message lands. Deep local knowledge paired with global practice gives our clients communication that is credible at home and competitive anywhere.

How we work

Five stages, each one reviewable.

We work step by step and keep clients involved from the first conversation to the final report. Every stage produces something you can review, approve and use.

Context first

Every plan is built for the market it will run in, not adapted from elsewhere.

Client involvement

Concept, review and approval points are agreed at the start and kept to.

Evidence over habit

Data and monitoring guide the next decision, not assumption or precedent.

  1. 01

    Listen and diagnose

    We start with a communication audit and stakeholder conversations: what is working, what is not, and what the context demands.

  2. 02

    Design the strategy

    Objectives, audiences, messages, channels, timelines and measures of success — set out in a concept note and work plan you sign off.

  3. 03

    Create and produce

    Writing, design, film, photography and campaign assets, produced by senior practitioners and reviewed before release.

  4. 04

    Deliver and engage

    Placement and dissemination across media, digital platforms, events and community channels, managed end to end by our team.

  5. 05

    Measure and learn

    Monitoring of coverage and engagement, a clear report on what the work achieved, and recommendations for the next phase.
