We develop powerful ideas and tell magnetic stories that move at the speed of news, make an immediate impact, transform culture and spark movements.
With more than 25 years of experience on the continent, Edelman has supported local organisations and multi-nationals with communications strategy and execution, delivering results in more than 30 countries across Africa.
Our two culturally diverse offices, in Johannesburg and Nairobi, are filled with an array of former journalists, client strategists, design and editorial experts, that are committed to delivering only the best results for our clients. Every day, we strive to live and work by a long-held set of core values: the relentless pursuit of excellence, the freedom to be constantly curious, the courage to do the right thing, and a commitment to positively improving society.
