Who We Are

For many African communities, the talking drum is not just for entertainment. It is also a tool for communication. Talking drums are used for carrying information far and wide, and skilled players can play whole phrases and sentences that mimic the tone and rhythm of human speech. They also serve as a voice of the community and can be used for mobilising and instructing people.

At Talking Drum Communications, our aim is to use the power of public relations and effective communications to draw attention to the people, innovations and opportunities that power the continent. We believe that Africa is full of exceptional people, innovations and opportunities and we want to make this the predominant narrative - both on the continent and abroad.

Whether you are an African start-up trying to draw more attention to what you’re doing or an established international brand aiming to build brand awareness on the continent, our unique combination of international and Africa-specific experience makes Talking Drum Communications the ideal partner for your communications needs .
