Why us

We've been on the inside.

Every person on this team has sat in the marketing seat at a fintech or tech company in East Africa or MENA — managing budgets, hitting acquisition targets, reporting to founders. We know what it's like when the CAC is too high and the board wants answers next week. That's the perspective we bring to every engagement.

We're intentionally lean: no account managers relaying messages, no layers between strategy and execution. You talk to the people running your campaigns.
