The office is led by Managing Director Tomas Omamo. Creative leadership is provided by Hannah Shore based in Nairobi and by our global creative director Tina Prior.

Seven is an international branding, marketing and advertising agency focused on high growth markets with offices in London, Bahrain, and Nairobi. Seven manages the Zain brand across Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Jordan, Iraq and Sudan. In 2011 Seven took over from JWT as the advertising agency for Zain in Bahrain. We are currently working on the launch of a new bank in Kuwait, a new cinema brand in Angola, the international PR campaign for the launch of the Ferrari Opus mobile phone, and Youssou N’Dour’s charity New Africa.
Look at any list of the top 100 brands by value globally and there is no African brand on that list. Seven’s mission is to change that. We want to be part of putting an African brand on the list of the world’s most powerful brands.
