[Africa PR Week @africaprweek]

Some people understand media. Others understand audiences.

@OliverMathenge understands both.

With nearly two decades across some of East Africa’s biggest newsrooms, from Nation Media Group to Radio Africa Group, Oliver has been at the forefront of digital transformation in journalism, audience engagement, and strategic storytelling.

As Co Founder of @StrategiCrest Ltd and former Managing Editor for Audiences & Engagement at Nation Media Group, his work sits at the intersection of media, communication strategy, and digital innovation helping organisations shape narratives that do more than attract attention. Narratives that build trust, influence perception, and drive action.

From newsroom leadership and multimedia journalism to media training and strategic communications, Oliver brings a perspective shaped by years of understanding how stories move across platforms and why some messages resonate while others disappear into the noise.

He joins Africa PR Week 2026 alongside some of the most influential voices shaping the future of communications, media, and public relations across the continent.

As a former newsroom editor, I have a cat to let out of the bag, for all comms colleagues, in this week’s #StoryCraftJournal

This is the belief that guides everything we do at StrategiCrest. Whether you’re a government agency, business, NGO, or individual, your message matters. We make sure it lands.

Let’s talk about your communication needs.

The IEBC clarification posts are a lesson in what strategic communication should prevent.

Here's the thing: when institutions communicate only after confusion sets in, they spend more energy managing panic than building trust.

As AMAC PLC Communications partner, StrategiCrest led PR strategy, media engagement, and narrative development for the TGCU x AMAC Comex event ensuring that the significance of the MoU was clearly positioned across stakeholders, media, and the wider market.

We’ve moved from clarity to responsibility.

Now we build durability.

March on The Storycraft Journal focuses on one idea: Credibility compounds.

Not through volume.
Not through visibility alone.
But through consistent leadership presence over time.

Every Thursday.

Great projects deserve great storytelling.

Outdated photos = missed engagement. Fresh visuals + strategic narrative = citizens who feel proud of (and patient with) progress.

That's the gap we bridge every day at StrategiCrest: turning wins into powerful stories.

Kenyatta Avenue viaduct is set to transform city travel; creating an elevated corridor, it will ease CBD congestion & allow uninterrupted traffic and cut commute times. It also boosts safety by separating through traffic from local vehicles and pedestrians.@Roads_KE @KeNHAKenya

Poor comms!

Recent images would do this post justice.

Storytelling used to sit safely in communications teams.

Leaders approved it, they didn’t own it.

That separation no longer exists.

In a world of noise, clarity wins.
This year, we continue to help brands, institutions, and leaders communicate with purpose, precision, and credibility.

Happy holidays from all of us at StrategiCrest!

[Oliver Mathenge @OliverMathenge]

Had a great start at #AGPRW2025. I was "ambushed" to sit on the kickoff panel for a fantastic discussion on technology and innovation in PR & Communication. My key takeaway: technology should be a key enabler for authentic, human-centered African stories. Tomorrow, discuss how we create winning PR campaigns for brands.
