The ConCom premise
Most communication advice fails for one reason: nobody stayed long enough to learn the difference between what a client wants and what a client needs. That gap is where our work starts.
Why we exist
Mission · Vision
Solutions that speak to the puzzle, not the brief.
A ministry, a donor delegation and an edible-oil producer are not talking to the same Malawi — and they should not be handed the same plan.
Becoming a leader in communication, public relations and advocacy services, in Malawi and beyond.
What we do
Five practices. Most engagements draw on two or three of them.
01
Research and insight
Finding out what is actually true before anything is written, printed or broadcast.
02
Strategy and advisory
Blueprints built around the audience, not around the organogram.
03
Media relations
Two decades of relationships across the Malawi media, plus the infrastructure to measure what they publish.
04
Public relations and campaigns
Public engagement that reaches the ground, not only the capital.
05
Creative production and events
Printing to communicate, not to confuse.
Why ConCom
Four things we can do that a general agency cannot.
Featured capability0+years of media relationships
We can prove what the media did
Through Nzika Centre for Education and Communication and our partnership with ReelAnalytics of Kenya, we run media monitoring infrastructure inside Malawi. Coverage reporting is measured, not estimated.
Nzika × ReelAnalytics
The network took twenty years
Our contacts across Malawi's media houses were built over more than two decades of professional practice. Placement is a phone call, not a cold pitch.
Research before messaging
We do our own field and desk research. Strategies are written from what audiences say, which is also what makes them defensible to a board or a donor.
Fluent in four sectors
Diplomatic missions, ministries, NGOs and private companies each report to different people and answer to different rules. We work in all four and translate between them.
