What do you think of when you picture your dining table at home? For most, it means "food" when you're terribly hungry. For others, that table represents the warmth found in a loving family - a family whose love transcends differences in opinion or choice or anything like that and welcomes all with arms open wide.

That's the foundation of our new campaign for our long-time clients, Karura Community Chapel who are bold enough to "UNchurch" the church and create a space where anyone is free to come in and hear the Gospel. Check out the first spot below!

As always, we pride ourselves in producing work that skillfully combines creativity and strategy to achieve true impact - work that contributes to the enrichment of people using the brands we represent, and this campaign is no different. What can we say? It's

In our fast-paced, "everything-is-now-on-the-cloud" corporate world, timely and effective communication is imperative. Unfortunately, what should be the norm is more of an exception rather than the rule. In the midst of unreturned e-mails and phone calls, how can you build a culture of communication in your business?

We've pulled one from the archives by our CEO, Jeff Wamwaki! Check it out

Don't you just hate it when people don't get back to you? When people force you to stare at your e-mail wide-eyed waiting for a response only to get

We've probably talked about him here before but JUST IN CASE YOU FORGOT 😂😂, meet Jeff Wamwaki - Mr CEO & Founder mwenyewe! Some say his face always looks the same as it does in this picture. Some say he always wears the same burgundy t-shirt in all his Instagram photos. Some say he writes his best copy when he's in the John (he doubles as a marketing strategist and copywriter over here by the way - just in case "CEO" doesn't sound like a job 😂). We say he's as cool as "cool" can be. Karibu [?] to the team sir!

So we've been hard at work building a team behind the scenes and we're ready to introduce them to you (P.S. Thanks again to everyone who applied to join our team 😁) First up is Kawinzi Musau - Art Director extraordinaire! He's the brains behind our artwork and can literally draw what you say! Kawinzi's a stickler for formality and you'd often find him using statements such as "sir/madam", "kind regards", and the like 😂 But we love him for his work ethic, his passion, drive, and his subtle "salty" jokes. Karibu to the family!

Too many definitions of the word "brand" exist. It's confusing. So what REALLY is a brand? And why does it matter to your business to get that definition right from the get-go? New piece from us here: https://wazo.sizwe.co.ke/byobwhatisabrand/ :-) Check it out

We've really stretched out this birthday thing but allow us just ONE more post before the month ends! 😂 Here's a comprehensive timeline of where we've come from to where we're at now. Officially, we're now 1. Unofficially? You be the judge 😂

P.S. This should be inspiration enough to get your own dream, your vision started NOW! yes?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO US!!!! It's been one hell of a year of taking great ideas to great places, building Africa's sustainable brands, and maybe-ing we should tell your story (we snuck in all our taglines for the year) 😂 One thing's remained - we have never stopped being the epicenter of creativity and strategy - something that we promise to keep doing so you get the best! Onwards!

Eco Create & Innovate is a social enterprise that provides sustainable and eco-friendly waste management solutions. We partnered with them to create the campaign aimed to sensitize and encourage people to actively recycle glass by collecting bottles and giving them to ECANDI. As a result, ECANDI's glass bottle collection improved by 130% (that's double the amount than before, and then some!) and their household recycling network grew reaching double the radius.

We're glad to have been part of a project that not only informs but plays its part in changing the world. Guess you could say that it's

Today's theme is: LOVE your humble beginnings :-) As promised, we'll be taking a trip down memory lane seeing how Sizwe came to be!

"When we first started out, all we had was a camera to our name. That's it! Since I couldn't approach any business as myself, I had to BRAND it - that way, corporates would want to work with you. That's how we ended up with KILELE AFRIKA - largely because it sounded fancy and Kenyan :-D The logo? Nothing intensive. All 'homegrown' within MSWord using a combination of clip art and free 'African-Feel' fonts from Google . . ." - Jeff Wamwaki (CEO/Founder)

Your vision may seem daunting BUT the important thing is to start. And start with someone who believes in you. This logo was designed because we needed something formal for our 1st pitch with Karura Community Chapel 😁 So, what are you starting today?

Uwezo Micro Finance Bank is a leading Kenyan microfinance bank that works with people in creating and growing wealth. They are passionate about keeping business moving and recently launched their app - a fast and convenient way to get access to loans straight to your phone. We partnered with them in creating a campaign for brand awareness which would convert leads to app installs and loan requests. We're proud to say that since we began working with them, the app has converted to over KES 1,000,000 in moving loans and a 30% increase in app installs in just a little over a month. We deliver! It's
