Our Work
The experience our founding consultants bring to AMC — and the programmes we are now building together for the first time.
Organisations our founding consultants have worked with
Active Engagements
Our consultants remain actively engaged in the field — writing, advising, judging, and leading organisations across the continent and internationally.
Chris Bishop continues as monthly columnist for African Business magazine (London) and maintains editorial advisory relationships with Forbes Africa — keeping AMC at the centre of the continent's business narrative.
Peter Burdin Co-Founded ESSA — a pan-African education charity partnering with the Bosch Foundation, Cambridge University, and the African Association of Universities to improve learning outcomes across the continent.
Frenny Jowi serves as jury member for both One World Media Awards (2023 & 2024) and WAN-IFRA (2023 & 2024) — shaping international standards for global journalism recognition alongside the world's leading media organisations.

Founding Track Record
Before Africa Media Collective existed as a collective, its founding consultants built careers that shaped African media at the highest levels. The projects below were delivered individually. They represent the depth of experience, institutional relationships, and editorial standards that every AMC engagement draws upon.
Published Works
