Ethiopia & East Africa

Communications for a market that is opening.

Alistair Crighton’s involvement with Ethiopia spans two decades, from leading the country’s national branding programme to today’s work with banks and financial institutions as the capital market opens. ACC operates from Addis Ababa alongside Dubai, with working reach across English, Arabic and Amharic.


What ACC does in Ethiopia

Financial communications & investor relations

Investor relations fundamentals, disclosure and shareholder communications for banks and companies preparing for a listed environment – delivered as advisory work or as structured workshops.

Communications & media audits

Independent review of how an institution and its leadership are reported and perceived, in English and Amharic, with practical recommendations.

Leadership communications

Positioning, speeches, op-eds and media preparation for chairs, chief executives and senior officials.

Training in Addis Ababa

Media, message, crisis and investor relations training delivered in Addis Ababa and built for Ethiopian institutions. Full detail on the training page.

Who it is for

Banks and financial institutions, companies preparing to raise capital, international investors entering the market, and development institutions building capacity. The Dubai base matters here: Gulf capital, Gulf media and Gulf institutions are an increasing part of Ethiopia’s story, and ACC works across both.
