Our founders on the mainstage — talking specialisation, African talent, and the case for building groups, not agencies.
Esostrats Group co-founders Ahmed Siyad and Abubakar Ismail took the mainstage at Nairobi Tech Week 2026 for a session titled Building Groups, Not Agencies.
The conversation covered the case for specialisation, the state of African engineering talent, and why the group structure — with dedicated divisions for technology, AI, and brand — outperforms the traditional full-service agency model at scale.
A recording of the session will be published on the Esostrats Newsroom in the coming weeks. Media inquiries can be directed to press@esostrats.group.
