A communications partner that knows Africa market by market
Africa O’Clock is a PR and strategic communications agency based in Abidjan. We work with companies, governments and investors across Francophone and Anglophone Africa: the ones entering a new market, the ones scaling across several at once, and the ones who need the right thing said at a difficult moment. We started in Cote d’Ivoire and built outward from there, market by market, on the strength of the relationships our team has in each 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.
