About us
We are BKB Africa. BKB Africa is a full-service campaigns agency. We develop campaigns for government, businesses and social organizations.
A campaign can be composed of various more or less self-contained components, such as a thorough research study or a focused campaign concept, an effective media strategy or a well-attended event.
BKB Africa advises on everything from business communication and internal change processes to image management. The agency also organises a range of trainings and can lead debates. We are strong in generating free publicity.
Together with our partner BKB in The Netherlands (whose three partners are also partners of BKB Africa) we have over 10 years of experience in campaigning and have access to a large international network of key decision-makers in government, international organisations, business, civil society and grass roots.
We can therefore mobilize the right people to develop or communicate an idea. This often leads to inspired and inspiring cross-overs, for example between culture and politics, sports and science, public and private. We always focus on themes that we can put our hearts in, themes with strong social relevance.
BKB Africa is your creative brains trust, helping you adapt to a changing world, thinking along with you and challenging set conventions and ideas. As the new kid on the block and with its roots in fertile South African soil, BKB Africa is a young and dynamic company, socially motivated, always thinking ahead and highly experienced in setting up comprehensive campaigns.Read more

Because this Saturday 13th of Feb US speed skater Shani Davis is skating the big opening game at the Olympic skating tournament, the 5.000meter monster match! Read more

Online Ambassadors and Digital Nomads
As an NGO, how do you manage your reputation online, draft a winning strategy to get your message out via social media? Why should you claim your space on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, Flickr, Ning, SecondLife or use mobile technology in your campaign? How did Obama actually manage to turn thousands of supporters into millions of on- and offline ambassadors? And why is it a good idea to start your own blog? These were just a few of the many issues highlighted at the Uthango Social Investments' Annual Workshops for civil society organisations on social media (Online Ambassadors and Digitial Nomads).Read more
