To lead this new operation, AMA has appointed Angela Akua Asante as Senior Communications Consultant. This follows her fruitful collaboration with the agency since 2023 as an independent consultant on various pan-African health-related projects. 

Asante is a highly experienced French-English strategist who has led PR campaigns, content strategies, mediations and media productions for the European Union and the Embassy of France in Ghana, among others.

Her extensive background includes working as the Ghana-based French-speaking correspondent for the BBC World Service’s BBC Afrique and covering four FIFA World Cup tournaments across men’s and women’s football.

Vibrant, entrepreneurial and full of creative energy

“Ghana has long been one of our most active markets: vibrant, entrepreneurial and full of creative energy,” says Eloïne Barry, founder and CEO of African Media Agency. “Our presence here strengthens our role as a partner for brands seeking to enter or expand across Africa.”

The move comes at a time when Ghana continues to assert itself as one of West Africa’s most stable, innovative and forward-looking economies, ANA says.

According to the World Bank, Ghana’s GDP is projected to grow by 4.4% in 2025, driven by strong performance in services, agriculture, digital innovation and renewable energy.

The country has also become a rising hub for fintech, creative industries and tech-enabled entrepreneurship, attracting regional and global investors eager to tap into its young, connected population.

AMA’s Ghana office will provide the agency’s full suite of services – from strategic communication and media relations to market research, digital content and event management.
