What makes working with us different
We put your message in front of audiences who already trust the source
Our curated network of media outlets and community voices across Somalia and East Africa means your message doesn't start from a page with zero reach, and every placement is disclosed, not disguised as organic.
We know this market from the inside
Hornwave was built in Mogadishu, by people who understand how Somali audiences think, what they share, and what moves them to act. No guesswork, no strategies copy-pasted from markets that look nothing like ours.
We report everything clearly
Every client receives a monthly report covering reach, engagement, follower growth, and campaign outcomes, written in plain language, not agency jargon. You always know what your investment is achieving.
You always know who to call
Every client has a named account manager responsible for their account. No call centres, no rotating teams, no starting over each time.
We handle sensitive mandates with discretion
Political campaigns, reputation management, and high-profile commercial launches require confidentiality. Your mandate is never shared, discussed publicly, or referenced in our marketing without written permission.
Client results
Real results from East African clients
We do not share client names without permission. We do share the results.
60+ enquiries in 30 days
No brand recognition and a tight launch window meant this campaign needed momentum from day one.
2,400% engagement growth
The account had a real audience, but inconsistent posting and no clear brand voice meant engagement had stalled for months.
280,000 impressions in 3 weeks
A fragmented audience spread across Somalia and the diaspora, on a limited budget, is a hard reach problem to solve.
14 fake accounts removed
Fake accounts were spreading misinformation with no one watching for it.
What clients say
From the clients who trust us
“Hornwave understood our audience better than agencies we had worked with in other countries. The reach we achieved in the first campaign was beyond what we expected.”
“The monthly reports actually tell you something. You can see exactly where your investment went and what it achieved. That accountability is rare in this market.”
Questions
Questions we hear before clients sign
Do you only work with political clients?
No. Political campaign management is one of our services, but most of our clients are commercial businesses, NGOs, and brands. Every service works for both sectors.
How long before I see results?
For social media management, meaningful growth is typically visible within 60–90 days. For paid advertising and campaigns, reach begins from launch.
Do you work with clients outside Somalia?
Yes. We serve clients in Kenya and beyond, and reach Somali diaspora audiences globally. Contact us to discuss your specific geography.
Can I keep my own access to my social media accounts?
Yes. We work within your accounts: we never take ownership or remove your access.
How is a monthly retainer different from a campaign?
A retainer is ongoing management: we run your social media every month. A campaign is a specific, time-limited push toward a defined objective. Many clients have both.
What is your minimum contract period?
Social media management retainers are month-to-month after the first month. Campaign management is priced per campaign, with no lock-in.
