About us

At the Brand Conversationalist, we help brands show up in Africa meaningfully.

We are a culture-first consultancy that blends strategic thinking with deep local insight, helping global and local brands enter, navigate and thrive across African markets.

Founded by two Black British Women - diasporans Louise and Cecelia, who bridge the gap between global and local ambition and African authenticity.

Our work is rooted in one belief: Africa is not a trend, it’s a conversation. One that demands cultural fluency, local collaboration, and bold, respectful storytelling.

Our thing: global ambition and African authenticity.

We don’t just build campaigns, we decode culture, co-create with communities, and activate ideas that spark connection and growth.

Whether it’s launching a brand into new markets or reimagining its place within the continent, we deliver strategy and creative that feels as true on the ground as it does in the boardroom.

This is branding done with care, courage and cultural intelligence.

We are The Brand Conversationalists.
