WiM Africa connects, champions and elevates women across Africa's marketing, advertising, media and communications industries.
Since launching in 2018, we've built a growing pan-African network bringing together professionals, industry leaders and organisations to create meaningful connections, open doors, share knowledge and amplify African voices on the global stage.
Now we're opening the next chapter: WiM Africa Membership.
Africa is home to extraordinary marketing and creative talent. But opportunities, visibility and meaningful professional connections are still too often fragmented by geography, organisation and market.
WiM Africa exists to bridge those gaps.
We're building a connected professional community where women can develop relationships across borders, exchange knowledge, access opportunities, celebrate success and help shape the future of our industry.
"When I launched WiM Africa – the Africa region branch of the Women in Marketing Global - my hope was to create a space where women across Africa's marketing industry could connect beyond borders, learn from one another and collectively raise the visibility of African talent.
Today, thanks to our incredible community, that vision is becoming a reality. Membership is the next step in building something sustainable that can continue creating connections, opportunities and visibility for women across our industry for many years to come."
Andrea Djan-Krofa
CEO, Women in Marketing Africa
From our launch at the Loeries in Durban in 2018 to Real Talk Debates across the continent, industry partnerships, Cannes Lions and our ERA programme, WiM Africa has grown into a network connecting professionals across Africa and beyond.
Today, our growing community has more than 5,000 connections across our digital platforms, represents 21 African countries and 39 countries globally, and has brought together more than 100 industry speakers and leaders.
Along the way, we've worked with leading corporate, media and industry partners, distributed more than 400 complimentary industry event tickets, shared more than 100 speaking opportunities and celebrated 30 African recipients of the Global Women in Marketing Awards.
As WiM Africa has grown, so has the demand for deeper connections, greater access to opportunities and more ways for our community to engage with one another.
Membership is the natural next step.
It will allow us to invest in our community, expand our programmes and opportunities, and build a sustainable organisation that can continue championing women and strengthening our industry for years to come.
Our wider WiM Africa Community, newsletter and WhatsApp Community will remain free to join.
Membership is for those who want to go further.
We're getting ready to welcome our first cohort of 100 WiM Africa Founding Members to help shape this next chapter with us.

Over the coming years, we'll continue expanding our reach across Africa, strengthening local communities, creating new learning and leadership opportunities, and building partnerships that unlock greater access and visibility for women across our industry.
Our ambition is clear:
To build Africa's leading professional network for women in marketing, advertising, media and communications.
