Project

The Wimbart Way

To mark its 10th anniversary, Wimbart launched The Wimbart Way, an original video podcast series focused on storytelling, PR and narrative building across the African tech ecosystem. Hosted by Founder and CEO Jessica Hope, the series features conversations with founders, investors, operators and media leaders, reflecting Wimbart’s experience and perspective after a decade of shaping stories in African tech. I was brought in to develop the brand for the series and provide consultancy on launching the podcast.

Goals

The goal was to create a distinctive identity for the podcast that felt connected to the wider Wimbart brand while giving the series its own recognisable presence. Alongside the visual identity, Wimbart needed practical guidance on how to launch a video podcast, including selecting the right tools and services to support production, publishing and distribution.

Approach

My approach focused on creating a podcast identity that felt polished, credible and aligned with Wimbart’s established brand, while giving the series a clear personality of its own. The branding needed to work across multiple formats, including video, social media and platform listings, and support the long-term growth of the series beyond its launch. In parallel with the design work, I provided consultancy on the podcast setup process, comparing available tools and services and advising on the most suitable options for Wimbart’s needs. This helped the team make informed decisions around production and publishing, giving them a clear foundation for launching the series confidently and efficiently.

Deliverables

I delivered the branding and visual assets for The Wimbart Way, along with consultancy on launching the video podcast. This included reviewing and comparing platform and production options, and recommending a suitable set of tools and services to help the team establish and run the podcast effectively.

Outcomes

The first episode was published in December 2025 and reached over 1,000 listeners within its first week, alongside a positive response on social media. The project gave Wimbart a strong launch platform for its new series, combining a clear visual identity with practical guidance that helped turn the concept into a live and well-received podcast.
