Communications professional at CBN Afrique who aligned communications across 10 Francophone national offices.

At CBN Afrique, I set regional communications strategy across 10 Francophone countries and kept national offices, headquarters, field teams, and partners informed and aligned. I also served as spokesperson to government authorities, media, and strategic partners.

As Director of Communications, I developed the organisation-wide annual communications plan and managed the communications calendar across internal, external, corporate, and digital channels. I wrote and supervised newsletters, brochures, press kits, videos, podcasts, and social media content for diverse audiences.

Earlier, as ICT & Digital Communications Officer, I administered organisational websites and produced multimedia assets for campaigns and programmes. I launched the YouTube and Instagram presence of Le Club 700 and led design and social media for the “Nouvel Espoir” campaign; at SenMarketing Digital, I drove an average 60% increase in organic traffic for client portfolios.
