    African Tech PR

    Wimbart is a boutique public relations company with a heavy emphasis on Africa & emerging markets. We produce hyper-targeted, relevant & meaningful media campaigns for a range of international clients.

    Instinctive, forward thinking & masters of our sectors, we work across technology, start-ups, entertainment, social enterprises, entrepreneurs and consumer products, to deliver memorable press campaigns.

    Our capabilities stretch far beyond traditional public relations agencies; we write beautiful copy, build brands and break big news stories. Why are we different? We don’t cut corners, we don’t stop until we achieve excellence, we don’t just send out pointless mass-mail shots and hope for the best. Instead, we curate our clients’ story and engage with journalists and commentators who we’ve spent years building relationships with, to deliver credible, powerful media presence for them.

The cat’s out of the bag! 💥💥

We’re happy to announce our next big move at Wimbart—strengthening our pan-African presence with strategic hires in Nairobi and Lagos! 🚀

This expansion marks a major milestone for us, bringing on-the-ground support to our pan-African and international clients. With a new Account Director in Nairobi and a Media Associate in Lagos, we’re doubling down on amplifying the stories of Africa’s tech and business ecosystems globally while maintaining strong local connections.

As we celebrate this growth, we’re also proud to remain 100% BME female-led at the Director level and above—a testament to our commitment to diversity and leadership in PR.

We are looking forward to more amazing opportunities and connecting more deeply with our clients and stakeholders.
