FAQ
Questions we hear
most often.
Where are you based?+
Our studio is in Westlands, Nairobi. We work with clients across Kenya, East Africa and the diaspora - in person and remotely.
Do you take on retainer or project work?+
Both. Most clients start with a focused 8–12 week project, then move onto a monthly retainer once the playbook is proven.
What kinds of brands do you work with?+
Fintech, health, consumer, government, and development organisations. We're sector-agnostic but story-obsessed.
How do you measure success?+
Share of voice, sentiment, message pull-through, qualified inbound and revenue impact - not vanity coverage counts.
