Skot Communications, a global strategic communications consultancy with a focus on Sub-Saharan Africa, has acquired Hill+Knowlton Nigeria Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of WPP Scangroup Plc.
A statement from the company said the move paves the way for Skot Communications to build upon a legacy of excellence and innovation both locally and internationally.
Skot Communications, which is taking over the H+K after a business and asset transfer agreement, will leverage the existing portfolio of clients, talent, and expertise in communications consultancy through the agreement.
H+K, based in Nigeria and the UK, was founded by Ms Tokunboh George-Taylor, a communications leader with over 30 years in the industry.
She was instrumental in establishing the firm as a successful player in the market, providing strategic communications counsel and exceptional service to clients across diverse industries.
“Skot believes that the human voice is the most powerful thing in the world. Without it, change is silenced, and with it, impossibility becomes possible. The company is guided by the principle that every individual and corporate, has a unique story to tell, it is finding your voice that makes all the difference,” the statement read.
“We are thrilled to embark on this exciting new journey as Skot Communications,” said Ms George-Taylor, Founder/CEO. “Building upon the strong foundation laid by Hill+Knowlton, Skot Communications is committed to delivering the highest standards of public relations and communications services to our clients, with local and global insights to drive transformative growth.”
“We remain dedicated to exceeding expectations while simultaneously expanding our offerings to adapt to the evolving Nigerian market and media communications landscape,” she added.
With a deep understanding of Africa’s business landscape aligned with global best practices, Skot Communications brings unparalleled expertise in strategic & corporate communications, internal communications, content marketing & storytelling, digital & influencer media, crisis management, and public affairs/advocacy as well as event management services.
