The PR agency that opens doors across Africa.
We help companies, governments and investors enter new African markets, earn the coverage that matters, and protect their reputation when it counts. One partner, market by market, from Dakar to Nairobi.
A communications partner that knows Africa market by market
We are a PR agency headquartered in Abidjan, working across Francophone and Anglophone Africa. We handle media relations, corporate and crisis communications, digital campaigns, executive profiles and investor storytelling. Africa is not one market, and we do not plan like it is: the approach for Cote d’Ivoire is not the approach for Kenya. What stays constant is the quality of the work and the strength of our relationships in the newsroom.
- Headquartered in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire
- Serving Francophone Africa, Anglophone Africa, and international markets.
What we actually do
We connect brands, governments and institutions with the journalists, editors and investors who shape opinion in African markets. In practice that means coverage you can point to, leaders who are ready before they go on record, and a plan for the day a story turns against you.

In a continent defined by diversity, rapid transformation, and cultural depth, communication cannot be standardized. Africa is not one market. It is a mosaic of economies, languages, regulatory systems, and social dynamics. At Africa O’Clock, we design market-specific communication strategies that reflect the realities of each country while maintaining a strong continental and global positioning.
We operate across Francophone Africa and Anglophone Africa, designing communication strategies adapted to linguistic, regulatory, and media differences between markets such as Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Nigeria, Senegal, Kenya, and beyond.
We work in both directions
For international companies moving into Africa, we open the door to local media, regulators and stakeholders. For African companies going global, we get you in front of international press and investors: placements in outlets like Reuters, Forbes and Bloomberg, and a story that stands up in a due-diligence room.

We combine international communications expertise with deep local insight. Our team understands how business is conducted across West Africa, North Africa, East Africa, and beyond. We work fluently across English-speaking and French-speaking markets, navigating media ecosystems, stakeholder environments, and regulatory frameworks with precision.
Through strategic communications, media relations, corporate positioning, crisis management, digital PR, and executive visibility campaigns, we ensure that every message is culturally relevant, reputationally strong, and strategically aligned.
Local teams, one standard
Our people are on the ground across West, East, North, Southern and Central Africa. They know which outlet moves a market, how regulators expect to be approached, and how fast a rumour travels. You get local judgement, and work that meets an international bar.

Our strategies adapt to each country, each sector, and each audience. Whether supporting a multinational expansion, managing reputation during sensitive moments, positioning a startup for funding, or strengthening government communication, Africa O’Clock delivers measurable visibility and long-term brand equity.
How we think about Africa
A few principles that shape every plan we build.
Strategic Intelligence for African Markets
Africa is a mosaic, not a market. Fifty-four countries, hundreds of languages, no single media market. We build a plan per country and keep the story consistent across all of them
Reputation here is personal
In most African markets, trust runs through relationships, not press releases. We spend as much time on stakeholders as on media lists.
A rumour moves faster than a statement
Stories break on WhatsApp and X before they reach a newsroom. We catch them early and keep the response ready.
Francophone and Anglophone Africa are different jobs
Tone, regulation and the outlets that matter all shift between the two. We change the message, not just the language.
Coverage only counts if the right people see it
We aim for the specific journalists your customers, regulators and investors read, not a long list of links nobody opens.
Earned and digital media are one plan
Search, social, influencers and press reinforce each other. We run them together and report on them together.
