    Creative Director

    Feb 2023 - Jul 2025
    As Belva Digital’s first in-house Creative Director, I’ve had the chance to lead a team of 30+ creatives, shaping a culture rooted in collaboration, growth, and meaningful work. In that time, we helped reposition the agency into a strong Martech contender and earned both local and global recognition for our campaigns.
    One of my first tasks was to lead the agency’s rebrand into a Martech-focused model. This move helped us open doors with larger clients and compete on a new level. Alongside that, I launched our in-house production arm and introduced upselling strategies that expanded both our services and agency revenue.
    Through deep collaboration with the team, we grew our client portfolio by 47%, bringing on brands like Viya Health, Inchcape, Kenafric, Kenya Power, KWAL, Lemfi, Rubis, TBC, Indigo homes, Zuku, African Originals, and Cold Solutions. We hit a 62.3% win rate, of the highest in the agency’s history.
    Our campaigns ranged from purpose-led initiatives, like building schools in Salgaa with World Vision, to advocacy work around sexual and reproductive health for young women. Many of which received industry attention and helped the agency cement its position as a trusted creative partner.
    One of my most fulfilling parts of this role has been helping the team grow. I built a training program that boosted productivity and drive internally by 35%, with six team members earning their first creative awards along the way. A proud moment for them, myself, and the agency.

. About me

Hey, I'm Angie

A creative director, storyteller, and culture shaper from Nairobi. I've spent the last decade building campaigns, teams, and stories that make people stop, feel, and share.

I've worked with brands like Safaricom, Aga Khan Foundation, KCB, and the Gates Foundation, helping them find their voice in ways that feel real and connect deeply. I love taking big ideas and turning them into things people actually want to engage with. Work that lives online, offline, and somewhere in between.

When I'm not leading creative or dreaming up new concepts, I'm usually helping other creatives figure out their next big thing. I care a lot about creating positive communities through mentorship, creating spaces where ideas grow, and showing that African creativity can sit proudly on any global stage.

If you're building something bold, thoughtful, or just really cool, let's talk. I'm all about collaboration that makes sense and makes magic.
