We are proud to shine the spotlight on our Founder and CEO, Nancy Atieno Onyango, recently featured in The Comms Spotlight by The Comms Avenue (TCA), one of the top platforms highlighting African communicators leaving a mark in the practice across the continent. Nancy shares her inspirational story, leadership at Show Up Communications (SUC), and guiding principles for her strategic communication practice. From intention-driven brand development to creating compelling campaigns, Nancy is living testimony to the power of intention-driven communication. While highlighting the language barrier as one of the obstacles to resonating with African audiences, Nancy emphasises the importance of language as a tool for driving impact at the grassroots, where the real impact is especially required.  

It is not merely an individual milestone but one of pride for Kenyan and African communicators, leaving their footprint in global society. Comms Avenue has covered similar pioneers across different industries in different countries across Africa before, and we are pleased to have SUC among such esteemed peers. In addition to the feature, Nancy is also an alumna of TCA’s top Comms Mentoring Programme (CMP), which continues to nurture the next generation of African communicators through skills development, industry information, and character growth.

We are both inspired and gratified by this recognition. It reaffirms our commitment to truthful reporting, results-driven impact, and developing the next generation in the communication industry.
