Welcome to TalkComms: Your Creative Career Journey Starts Here
This platform is built for students and early-stage creatives across Africa who want to grow in PR, media, branding, and storytelling.
Hello there,
Welcome to TalkComms, a bold new community for African students and early-career creatives who want to tell stories, shape culture, and build impactful careers in communications.
We created TalkComms because we have seen the gap and we have lived it.
In universities across the continent, thousands of students are studying mass communication, English, media studies, public relations, and advertising, great courses to study, but after graduation, many feel stuck. why?
No access. No real mentors. No portfolio. No clear roadmap.
We believe that needs to change.
We are building this platform to help you go from classroom to career with more clarity, confidence, and community.
What You Can Expect
Every two weeks, we will send you a fresh issue packed with:
🔸 Career-building tips you don’t learn in class
🔸 Real-world stories from African creatives and industry professionals
🔸 Spotlights on students doing amazing work
🔸 Guides, templates, and toolkits to grow your skills
🔸 Mentorship insights and Q&As with people doing what you dream of
🔸 And soon: internships, challenges, and audio/visual content
Think of it as your unofficial school for becoming a bold, brilliant communicator. That industry experience you get away from the classroom right on your fingertip.
Who This Is For
If you are:
✔ An undergraduate or recent graduate in PR, media, advertising, comms, or journalism.
✔ A young storyteller trying to understand your voice
✔ A campus PR exec trying to sharpen your campaigns.
✔ Or just someone who wants to build a meaningful career telling stories…
Then this newsletter is your safe space.
We are here to show you that you don’t have to wait until NYSC or “after school” to start growing. You can start now, with the right knowledge, community, and small wins.
