About Jive Media Africa

We are an award-winning communications agency with a 20-year history of supporting excellent research with excellent communication.

Based in Africa and focused on amplifying the continent’s ground-breaking knowledge, we specialise in creating innovative content, delivering cutting-edge researcher training, and delivering impactful communication and behaviour change programmes.

Our underlying philosophy is that research can’t have impact until it’s shared – and to make it sharable means making it  fun, powerful, adventurous, and engaging. Communication shouldn’t be a chore, it should be a movement.  Jive with us!

What our participants and clients say

“The workshops were interactive, practical, and tailored to the academic context, allowing participants to immediately apply what they learned. I highly recommend their training offerings to any institution seeking to empower researchers with the tools to communicate effectively, engage meaningfully, and contribute to broader societal discourse”

“Jive Media has provided excellent training for our academics and postgraduate students covering subjects such as popular writing, brand building, media training, and public speaking”.

“Working with Jive Media Africa was and still is a positive experience and I have found their work to be professional, inclusive and always goal-orientated”.

“The public speaking training through FameLab has opened doors for me that were previously closed. It has afforded me the opportunity to share my science and made me realise how it affects ordinary people”.

“The training has given me the opportunity to share my story and passion about my work as well as connect with others who are just as passionate about solving real-world problems through science.”

“The experience was transformative. A deep passion was ignited for communicating science to wider audiences for maximal impact”.
