About Us
Communication is changing. Technology and digital transformation have shifted the way in which people consume, engage with, and share information.
At Pekuzi, (which means curious in Swahili), we understand how this shift impacts engagement at the nexus between the business, political and social arenas.
Curiosity is in our DNA – we are constantly questioning and learning from the world around us to create solutions that are not only creative but deliver on Return-On-Investment.
As an African communications consultancy, we have a comprehensive approach to establish, build and maintain brand reputation. We are a proudly South African 100% black, female-owned communications firm that uses data to add context to every trend, conversation and behavioural shift to increase relevancy for brands. All of this gives us the knowledge to predict, react and adapt.
We have over 30+ years of combined experience in the communications industry and have built brands in financial services, professional services, technology, health, education and FMCG.
