I’m Alvas Onguru, a creative leader, strategist, and storyteller with over 25 years of experience shaping brands and communication across Africa and beyond. My work lives at the intersection of business strategy, creativity, and cultural insight—helping organizations translate their purpose into powerful ideas that move people and drive growth.

As a Creative Consultant, I partner with corporates and SMEs to build meaningful brands, guide advertising and communication agencies seeking fresh creative direction, and support NGOs and nonprofits in telling human-centered stories that inspire social and behavioral change.

My career has spanned leadership roles in global and regional agencies — from McCann Erickson and DDB, to Ogilvy and ZK Advertising, and as Chief Creative Officer and Managing Partner at OG+A — where I led award-winning campaigns for development, finance, and sustainability clients. Today, as Global Head of Communications & Partnerships at Justdiggit Foundation, I lead creative strategies that connect global audiences with climate action and regeneration movements.

An MBA graduate from the Berlin School of Creative Leadership, I’ve been a passionate student of the creative economy — exploring how creativity fuels innovation, entrepreneurship, and inclusive growth. I bring this lens to every project, blending design thinking, behavioral insight, and storytelling to deliver ideas that are not only beautiful but transformative. Whether you’re looking to build a brand from scratch, revitalize your communications, outsource creative work, or understand the dynamics of the creative economy, I bring clarity, creativity, and strategic depth to help your ideas thrive. Let’s create work that matters — and make creativity your business advantage.
