Jive with us

African knowledge has the power to transform our continent and the world.But for ideas to change the world, they must resonate, be shared and inspire action.

Jive Media Africa provides professional communication strategy and support through media production, training and public engagement. We partner with top African researchers, professionals and organisations to lean into complexity, embrace diverse perspectives and produce a wide range of media that increase the visibility and impact of research.

We provide training and mentorship in media and communication through our FameLab – the international ‘talking science’ initiative – and The Art of Research divisions.

Our pioneering youth engagement programmes, Science Spaza and Hip Hop U, engage, inspire and grow the next generation of South African innovators by combining art and science to showcase African research and scientific concepts,  ‘translating’ it into engaging, accessible and impactful media.
