Gina Din: The Public Relations guru on a mission to rebrand Africa
By BUSINESS BEAT REPORTER
Almost exactly 52 years ago today in Nanyuki, a baby girl was born to parents who were hoteliers.
The couple already had three daughters, so a son would have been nice, but Shamsu and Malek Din welcomed their new baby with joy and love.
And from a sleepy village in Nanyuki came a woman who would go on to build one of Kenya’s best-known PR brands.
Gina Din-Kariuki, founder and chair of the communications agency Gina Din Corporate Communications, recently launched the Gina Din Group whose tag line — Shaping African Conversations — shows the intention to weave the African narrative into the continent’s homegrown brands.
FORMIDABLE GROUP
The new group, which is made up of Gina Din Corporate Communications and IMC, a marketing communications company, already looks formidable.
It plans to increase its footprint in Africa by attracting global clients through its affiliation with Weber Shandwick, the award-winning and second-largest PR group in the world,
Gina is executive chair of the group, with Eddie Ndegwa being group CEO.
The launch came just a month after Gina spoke on the sidelines of the African Leadership Forum at the United Nations.
