The Strathmore Communication and Consultancy Clinic

The Strathmore Communication and Consultancy Clinic was founded in 2021 with a clear and practical mission: to bridge the gap between academic knowledge and real-world application in the field of communications. Rooted in the Service to Society philosophy of Strathmore University, the clinic was established to ensure that communications students are not only well-versed in theory but are genuinely ready for the demands of the job market. This educational origin story gives the agency a unique character—it operates as both a professional consultancy and a training ground, blending academic rigor with hands-on client work. Based in Nairobi, Kenya, the clinic draws on the university’s academic resources while serving external clients, making it a distinctive player in the local communications landscape.

This dual focus allows the clinic to offer cost-effective services without compromising on quality, as senior faculty and industry practitioners oversee every project. For clients in Nairobi and across Kenya, this means access to fresh, research-backed ideas delivered by a team that is both academically grounded and professionally supervised.
