We manage PR services for investors entering regional markets. The investor often requires strategic advice along with the technical services, to make sense of the new environment and unfamiliar stakeholder or market dynamics. On behalf of our partners, Cape Town-based PR firm Corporate Image and the principal’s lawyers ENS Africa, we managed public relations around the acquisition of a large private game reserve in Namibia. 

We helped the client to anticipate and get to grips with local sensitivities like ancestral land rights, employment creation, black economic empowerment and land reform, while navigating the political and regulatory landscape. Our involvement included media monitoring, political risk analysis, stakeholder management and media relations which resulted in the successful investment of over $100 million.
