About us

Documenting Africa’s builders.

Experts & Brands is a pan-African media platform celebrating the experts, entrepreneurs, thought leaders and companies driving African enterprise, innovation and influence.

Why we exist

Africa’s success stories are too often told by others, or not told at all. We sit down with the people doing the work, from established leaders to first-time founders and expats who built careers far from home, and document how they started, what worked, and what didn’t.

We want Experts & Brands to be a brand that professionals, students and aspiring entrepreneurs across Africa can relate to and look back on.

What we do

  • Interviews with experts, founders and expats
  • Brand features on African companies worth knowing
  • Insights on the economy, markets, and success and failure
  • A digital magazine collecting the best of each season
  • Awards for people who leave an indelible mark in their field
  • The E&B Academy (coming soon): skills, internships and job placement for young Africans
