SKOT Communications is part of a new generation of African-led strategic communications consultancies shaping how organisations tell their stories in a rapidly evolving media landscape. Founded in 2024 and headquartered in Lagos, the firm combines international standards with deep regional expertise to help organisations discover and amplify their authentic voice.
The consultancy was founded by veteran communications leader Tokunboh George-Taylor, drawing on over three decades of experience in the industry, with the last decade as the pioneer Managing Director of one of the world’s leading communications consultancy, Hill + Knowlton Strategies. The transition to SKOT Communications followed a business and asset transfer agreement of Hill+Knowlton Strategies, enabling the firm to retain the institutional knowledge and client relationships developed during that period while establishing an independent African-led consultancy.
At its core, SKOT Communications is built on a simple belief: every individual and organisation has a unique story to tell. By combining strategic insight, creative storytelling, and innovative communications solutions, the firm helps brands connect meaningfully with stakeholders while delivering measurable results.
Through reputation management, brand storytelling, and stakeholder engagement, SKOT helps organisations build stronger relationships, inspire loyalty, and achieve lasting impact while amplifying authentic voices that challenge stereotypes and drive sustainable growth.
Let SKOT Define Your Voice.

The firm is a partner agency of PROI Worldwide, one of the world’s largest networks of independent communications consultancies. The network spans more than 90 agencies across 65 countries, giving SKOT access to global expertise and best practices.
This affiliation allows SKOT to support multinational organisations operating in Africa while also helping African brands expand their global visibility. By combining global communications standards with local insights, SKOT delivers campaigns that resonate across multiple markets while remaining authentic to regional audiences.

By combining local knowledge with global communications expertise, SKOT helps organisations navigate shifting media environments, evolving stakeholder expectations, and reputational challenges.
STRATEGIC COMMUNICATIONS AND CORE SERVICES
SKOT Communications offers a comprehensive range of services designed to help organisations articulate their purpose and build lasting credibility.
Consumer and Brand Communications: Developing compelling narratives that strengthen brand identity and deepen audience engagement.
Corporate and Public Affairs: Supporting organisations in navigating regulatory environments, public policy conversations, and stakeholder relations.

Across these services, storytelling remains central to SKOT’s philosophy. The firm believes that authentic voices and meaningful narratives are essential for organisations seeking long-term relevance and influence in an increasingly complex communications environment.
BUILDING THE NEXT GENERATION OF COMMUNICATORS
Beyond client work, SKOT Communications invests in the future of the industry through SKOT Academy, a training ecosystem dedicated to developing the next generation of African communicators.
A key initiative within this ecosystem is the SKOT Impact Academy, a tuition-free programme designed for early-career communications professionals.
The six-week programme focuses on practical PR skills, storytelling, and strategic communications. Designed for professionals with one to two years of experience, it aims to bridge the gap between academic training and real-world industry practice.
The broader SKOT Academy platforms include:
SKOT Impact Academy – tuition-free programme for early-career PR professionals
SKOT Masterclasses – advanced programmes for mid-career and senior communications leaders
SKOT Elevate – customised trainings for individuals and corporate organisations.
These initiatives align with global development priorities, including the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals on quality education and youth employment.
Through these programmes, SKOT aims to nurture a new generation of African communicators capable of shaping global narratives about the continent.
As the communications landscape continues to evolve across Africa and globally, SKOT Communications is positioning itself at the intersection of storytelling, reputation management, and strategic advisory.
By combining global expertise with a deep understanding of regional dynamics, the firm aims to help organisations shape narratives that drive influence, inspire trust, and create meaningful impact.
