A Place Where Women Lead and Thrive
Stratcomm Africa has been a trailblazer advocating for women and their place in society.
Stratcomm Africa was founded by a pioneer in the communications industry, Esther Amba Numaba Cobbah, at a time when few Ghanaian-owned agencies offered communication services to organizations and businesses.
By focusing on the values of hard work, excellence, dedication, and a clear vision, Stratcomm Africa has helped highlight public relations and communication as essential tools for Ghana’s development, corporate success, and human progress. Beyond the organization’s contribution to the field of public relations and communication, Stratcomm Africa continues to create opportunities for women to lead and drive impact within its organization.
Furthermore, through initiatives like Women SHARE, 29 for 29 Mentorship and Business Development, and Nurture 2 Bloom, Stratcomm Africa is opening doors for all women to grow, connect, and thrive. But the reality is that, even with the kind of gender parity at Stratcomm Africa, according to the World Economic Forum, it is estimated that true gender equality will not be achieved across the world until 2158 at the current rate . That is more than 130 years away— way too long to wait and Stratcomm Africa is committed to supporting to accelerate action!
Stratcomm Africa: More Than a Workplace, A Movement
Stratcomm Africa is not just a workplace, but a movement. Stratcomm Africa is more than an organization, it is a catalyst for change. It fosters an environment where women’s contributions are valued, leadership is nurtured, and where success is not only encouraged but expected.
And on this International Women’s Month, there is no better time to spotlight the women who are accelerating action by using strategic communication tools to close the gap between genders. . Whether it is by breaking systemic barriers or supporting diversity, equity and inclusion , Stratcomm Africa is focused on ensuring that women not only participate but are equally positioned lead.
Cultural and socio-economic biases have long hindered women’s progress. While gender equality has improved over the years, there is still a long way to go. Working on these challenges head-on, Stratcomm Africa identified four key pillars:
A Culture of Inclusivity
Stratcomm Africa creates an environment where women lead, innovate, and thrive. Leadership is not a gesture to fulfil a quota; it is a responsibility with equal expectations. .Mentorship & Growth
Women focused events/programs have the power to enhance female participation and foster growth. Stratcomm Africa’s initiatives such as 29 for 29 Mentorship and Women SHARE, are targeted at women and help them receive skills, networking opportunities, and mentorship to advance their careers.
Impactful Storytelling
As a leader in strategic communication, Stratcomm Africa ensures that women’s voices are heard, their stories are told, and their impact is celebrated. These stories and the celebration of successful women have the potential to inspire other women to also rise and take action.
