Public Relations

Effective public relations strategies are not one size fits all. Our strategies are informed by data, practicality on ground then crafted and carried out with precision and passion. If your goal is to build brand awareness and earn trust, we can help you do it.

Digital Communications

We can tell your story by developing strong visual and written content that will engage and influence your target audiences on all the different digital platforms. WMC Africa teams take advantage of the different digital technical features to increase a client’s digital ranking and level of interaction with stakeholders to enhance brand warmth.

Business Advisory

On call, we have a team of independent and experienced consultants, who are able to offer handson practical help for your business. They can identify strengths and provide advice to reduce weaknesses, in order to unlock growth. Our Business Advisory services challenge and inform strategic decision making while also providing the support necessary to eliminate bottlenecks in your business.

Marketing and Advertising

We create and design effective marketing and advertising strategies that uniquely position our clients with their customers. Great ideas are what we do best because they change things. From Unique Selling Propositions (USPs) we have rapidly shifted to Online Value Propositions (OVPs). OVPs are more than just selling propositions; they show what is on offer by way of content, products, services and experiences, to engage online customers.

Public Affairs

To ensure your company’s interests are not overlooked, WMC Africa can develop a suitable public affairs strategy that both monitors and opens up possible avenues for influencing policy. It will aim to maintain strong links with government ministries, legislators, regulators and regular engagement with stakeholders including interest groups and the media.

Corporate Communications

We create and contribute to initiatives that develop, cultivate and maintain an organization’s corporate Identity or brand image through well cultivated public relation strategies and wide spread corporate communications among all stakeholders both internally and externally.

Internal Communications

We can strengthen internal communications by helping management and employees to better understand the values and objectives that define the company’s aspirations. An internal communications strategy defines business goals in communicating with staff and WMC Africa can plan activities to achieve these goals. Keeping employees informed of management goals increases their trust in the brand and encourages higher productivity.

Development Communications

Development involves positive change, new ways of doing things. At WMC Africa we can help clients or institutions to establish dialogue amongst the relevant stakeholders and policy makers. We use appropriate communication tools and platforms to ensure your message reaches target audiences to trigger behavioural changes that contribute towards sustainable development.
