Iain Osano

I've led corporate communications, digital strategy, and brand reputation work for Akili Network, helping reposition Akili Kids! as Akili TV, Kenya's first family-focused television channel.

I developed the messaging, stakeholder communications, and media engagement for the rebrand, while leading campaigns that strengthened relationships with media, corporate partners, NGOs, and government stakeholders. My Season of Smiles digital campaign generated more than 4,000,000 impressions across TV, SMS, email, and social media.

At Akili, I also helped implement digital revenue of up to Kshs 24,000,000 annually, contributed to Akili Kids! Club reaching more than 5,000 members in its first year, and oversaw a website revamp that grew visitors by over 50%.

I'm currently supporting IPPF and consortium partners with joint-project communications, audience-focused messaging, ethical storytelling, digital content, and partner coaching. I bring communications, journalism, digital marketing, media strategy, and Agile project management into practical work that supports visibility, engagement, and business objectives.
