“The work that Wimbart does and has been doing for the last decade is translating good products into meaningful stories.” - @PreciousOLade African builders have been solving some of the world’s most complex challenges, from telehealth in rural Kenya to seamless cross-border payments across West Africa. We focus on telling such stories - transformative stories of some of the most impactful innovations. It's a welcome validation to know that this focus is evident in the ecosystem. We look forward to telling more stories of the people and companies doing brilliant work on the continent.

A story is only as powerful as the people who help you tell it. Making our #Wimbartat10 anniversary video took a team who could capture the heart of what we were trying to convey - the conversations, reflections, and moments beyond the milestones that don't fit neatly into a press release. Huge thank you to @TheQCompanyng for bringing this video to life with such care and craft! 🎉 If you're yet to, watch the video here: youtu.be/5vyGmqKZ60o #Wimbartat10 #WimbartVersary #AfricanPR #AfricanTech

"YOU work for Uzoma Dozie?" That was the reaction when Wimbart was mentioned in the same breath as one of Nigeria's most prominent business figures. Six years later, @Uzoma_Sparkle is a guest on #TheWimbartWay, and this blog post is the story of how we got here. Our CEO, @WimbartHope, reflects on what she underestimated, what she learned, and why Uzoma's approach to storytelling as a lever, not a layer, is something every founder and business builder needs to understand.

ICYMI: An interesting interview on @cgtnafrica with Nikolai Barnwell, CEO of @pawapay, diving into the latest GSMA Mobile Money report and the remarkable growth of the industry. Nikolai shared how mobile money is many Africans’ first introduction to a digital economy, moving away from cash-only systems, and how Telcos effectively filled the gap left by traditional banks, which often found it unprofitable to serve the “last mile.” He also gave credit to African governments and regulators for supporting the growth of the payments industry, noting: “the biggest benefit we've seen has been a stable hand from the central banks regarding how they look at these e-wallets, these mobile money. They've allowed the flourishing of the digital money to happen outside the banking sector with a bit of a kind of approach of 'let's see what happens.'” Definitely worth a watch for anyone following the future of payments, fintech, and digital infrastructure across the continent.

African tech founders were building world-class solutions before the world started paying attention. What Wimbart set out to do ten years ago was make sure those stories were told and heard regionally and globally. To hear that the work we've done over the years has contributed to changing the narrative means everything. “The African tech ecosystem now has the attention of the world.” - @joekinvi. This is music to our ears. We'll take it and keep working to make sure it stays true.

The rise of specialised funds, more disciplined investment theses, and over a billion dollars in dry powder isn't just reshaping how founders raise. It's reshaping how they must communicate. As funding vehicles become more specific, so does the storytelling required to match them. Climate capital, AI-driven funds, and blended finance all demand narratives that show urgency, market depth, and long-term value. Founders who get this right will stand out in a market where attention is increasingly selective. Communication becomes strategy. Not a substitute for traction, but a force multiplier that’s helping investors understand not just the product, but the context and category a founder is building for. Clarity and context will always be as critical as innovation itself, which is a position we’ve had for a long time.

I spoke with @WimbartHope about @Wimbart turning 10, her journey in the past decade, and what the future looks like. "On a Thursday morning, Jessica Hope appears on my laptop screen, seated calmly for our Google Meet call. There is a composed, almost effortless stillness to her, even after a decade navigating the high-stakes world of public relations (PR). We spoke for over an hour, a conversation that ranged from her journalistic roots to her journey building Wimbart, a PR agency specialised in Africa and emerging markets."

“Show, don’t tell” remains one of the most effective principles in storytelling. It helps explain why a market woman’s lived experience can be more powerful than any message developed in the boardroom. Sometimes, the most impactful stories aren't yours to tell. Uzoma Dozie, who built one of Nigeria’s most iconic retail banks, grew to understand this well. Instead of telling people what you do, find and amplify the stories of the people you’re already helping. Because when a market woman tells you how a savings account changed her life, helping her grow her business, educate her children, and move beyond hiding cash at home, that’s authenticity that hits home. If you’re building a consumer product and struggling to find your story, this episode’s worth your time.

“When we were trying to transform Diamond Bank from a commercial to a retail bank, we had to tell a lot of stories.” For @Uzoma_Sparkle, storytelling is something he grew up with and still uses to make ideas clear and meaningful​​. His father used fables to explain life, simplify complexity, and make the complicated feel human. Years later, when he needed to reshape the culture and mindset of an entire bank, he returned to that same approach. On the next episode of #TheWimbartWay, Uzoma Dozie traces the roots of his storytelling back to evenings with his father in Lagos. He delivers a history lesson, drawn from two decades in banking, where he witnessed the first wave of African fintechs emerge, and supported them when few others did. The full episode drops this Thursday on YouTube, Spotify, or Apple Podcasts.

Ten years of headlines, campaigns, and milestones. Behind every single one has been a Wimbart. The people who show up with care and intensity for the work have made Wimbart what it is. You don't build ten years of this without people who are really invested, and we've been lucky to have some of the best people on the team.
