About Us

At Africa Comms Advisory, we are committed to helping our clients meaningfully engage with a continent that is vast, complex and full of opportunities.

Africa’s 54 countries have much to offer global private, public and social impact investors. It is a diverse continent with variations in economic conditions, sociopolitical landscapes, business environments, and opportunities for social impact across different countries and regions. The continent offers a unique environment where businesses, the public sector, and social impact organizations can contribute to economic growth while making a significant impact on people’s lives.

Africa is:

  • Socio-politically complex
  • Geographically robust
  • Culturally and linguistically diverse
  • Ever-evolving economically
  • Home to the youngest population globally
  • Upwardly mobile
  • The epicenter of global geopolitical attention, from the US to Europe and China
  • Increasingly interdependent
  • The focus of generation-defining discussions, from climate change to youth development

Questions our clients often ask include:

  • Why is Africa an indispensable market for growth?
  • What does one need to know to be successful in Africa?
  • Who does one need to know and engage on the continent?
  • How does one gain access?
  • Where should one’s focus be given the breadth of opportunities?
  • What communications strategy will produce results?

Succeeding in the African context requires strategic and culturally-savvy communications.

Headquartered in Washington, DC. with a footprint across Africa, including in Johannesburg, Addis Ababa, Lagos, Nairobi, Accra and Abidjan, Africa Comms Advisory offers tailored advisory services that support our clients’ objectives as they seek to understand, reach and meaningfully engage the African market.
