Wimbart Celebrates 10 Years As Africa’s Tech Ecosystem Goes Global

London, UK. April 2026 – Award-winning Public Relations firm, Wimbart
[1], marks its 10-year anniversary, celebrating a decade of delivering
strategic communications services to African tech companies and
ecosystem players. Launched in 2016 by IROKO alumnus Jessica Hope, the
communications consultancy has become the go-to B2B PR partner for
startups, scale-ups, venture capital firms and institutional
organisations looking to reach African and international audiences.

Over the past decade, the 15-strong team, located across London and
Lagos, has advised some of the continent’s most recognisable tech
companies and investors, including M-KOPA, Andela, MaxAB and Ventures
Platform, helping shape communications around pivotal moments such as
major funding rounds, product launches, crises, acquisitions and market
expansions.

Reinforcing its position as a leading storyteller in the tech ecosystem,
in 2025, Wimbart launched The Wimbart Way [2] – a podcast of deep-dive
interviews with leading African tech space operators, investors,
founders and journalists including Omobola Johnson, Iyin Aboyeji and
Tomiwa Aladekomo, who each look at different aspects of the intersection
of media and African tech storytelling.

The consultancy’s growth has mirrored the rapid rise of Africa’s
technology sector. Since 2015, startups across the continent have raised
over $20 billion, produced globally recognised unicorns and attracted
increasing international investment. Over the past decade, Wimbart has
worked with 230+ clients across nearly 20 countries, including its key
markets, Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa and Egypt. In February 2016, the
company expanded with the launch of Wimbart Lite [3], led by founding
team member Maria Adediran, to provide communications support for
early-stage startups.

Jessica Hope, Founder and CEO of Wimbart, says: “We’ve had the
pleasure of working alongside elite founders and investors building the
continent’s tech ecosystem, and telling their stories globally, via
hundreds of press releases and thousands of articles and interviews over
the past decade.

“What has consistently defined us is simple; our energy, ambition and
intensity matches our clients’. Passion underscores everything we do,
but is coupled with PR technical skill and a nose for what makes a great
story. Wimbart only works because the people building Africa’s tech
ecosystem have continuously trusted us to tell their stories, and backed
us to do it right.”
