CULTURE / COMMUNITY / STRATEGY

Feeling lost in translation? Does your brand message resonate in one market but fall flat in another? It’s not a surprise that Cultural misunderstandings can be a costly mistake for businesses.

I’m Louise Darko, a Cultural Brand Consultant, and I help bridge the cultural gap to ensure your brand speaks volumes – in the right language.

I’m a UK born, Johannesburg based Cultural Brand Consultant & Community Builder, with a BFA in Design and Marketing from Georgia State University in Atlanta.

As a seasoned multi-hyphenate, (fancy way of describing a Jack or Jane of all trades), my focus is on helping translate culture and community, into killer campaigns. I specialise in consulting for individuals and businesses to help cuate and direct narratives that authentically tell their stories within a uniquely African context.

Having grown up in the UK and spending time in Ghana as well as in Atlanta (“Peace up, A Town down”), I spent time gleaning invaluable insights being immersed in polar opposite cultural universes.
