AFRICA

Stories rooted in place.
Ideas that move people.

Nairobi. Across Africa.

Local knowledge.
Global perspective.

From our base in Nairobi, we work with African, Nordic and international partners to bring people, ideas and organisations into focus.

We combine strategy, film, photography and live experiences to tell stories with purpose. Our work follows the people behind change, connecting an organisation's ambition with the realities of the communities it serves.

Thought Leader's Africa team is part of our global practice, with local talent and collaboration at the heart of every production.

03 / Connection

Make it matter.

Events, live experiences and storytelling workshops that bring people together, strengthen local creative capacity and help ideas travel.

Storytelling & production

Put people at the centre.

We work where stories happen: with local teams, communities and partners. Film and photography make complex ideas tangible through the people who live them.
