What our clients say
Working with the Explain team infused deep creativity in our program of work around content and social media management, and ensured responsible and dynamic virtual event management.
Sheena AdamsGlobal Communications Director | Accountability Lab 
Verashni and the explain.co.za team oversaw a popular and high quality content series for Okay Africa during my time there. She liaised with top South African writers, and tightly edited their work to create a compelling series of personal essays.
Aaron LeafFormer Managing Editor | OkayAfrica 
explain.co.za conducted media training for young activist leaders, supporting Abundant Africa’s advocacy with the AU. The training included great techniques vividly illustrated by real life stories. The young leaders were able to perform brilliantly to a large media audience in the weeks after.
Miles GiljamSenior Advocacy Associate | Tearfund 
explain.co.za creates highly engaging advertorials for our corporate clients, including Nedbank and more. The team researches the target publication and matches the necessary tone and writing style. They interview clients as needed, and produce compelling, well-researched articles that our clients have been very happy with.
Joseph NgwenyaBusiness Development Manager | Media Connect 
"Verashni from explain.co.za moderated a client-sponsored webinar for Ventureburn. From refining the topic to the dry runs and the event itself, Verashni was professional and well-prepared. She helped create an engaging and robust event, drawing out useful insights from the speakers."
Carl DavisManaging Director | Burn Media Group 
Verashni’s ability to demonstrate concepts to the lay-person helps immensely in grasping the nuances that the media space carries. The tools she taught me will definitely stand me in good stead going forward. I would happily work with her and explain.co.za again.
Richard StevensFinancial director | Ryobi, Africa 
It is great to work with such a team of skilled and knowledgeable professionals. They really understand us and our needs and have been able to add a lot of punch to our communications strategy.
