@viviangududu
I build PR campaigns, media visibility, and executive thought leadership across global markets.
What I'm looking for
I've led PR, communications, and partnership campaigns for the Pan African AI & Innovation Summit, Ignite Funnels, Project Petals, Alicia White, and Adele Dejak. My work spans market entry, earned media, executive positioning, stakeholder engagement, and digital communications across Africa, the Middle East, and the United States.
I've secured 20+ earned media placements and 50+ podcast placements, launched Ignite Funnels into Kenya, and coordinated high-profile speaking and visibility opportunities including the Pan African AI Summit. I also co-wrote successful applications supporting Project Petals and Alicia White, including the Pulitzer Center U.S. Civil Society Microgrant, Blue Ridge Labs Founder Fellowship, and UNDP Youth4Climate Mentorship Programme selection.
I build compelling narratives, robust media networks, and integrated campaigns for technology, entrepreneurship, publishing, women's leadership, climate, and social impact organizations.
