Relax, You've Got M-PESA - Original Press Ad
ICONIC CAMPAIGN

"Relax, Uko na M-PESA"

Moving mobile money from a convenience tool to an emotional anchor in daily Kenyan life.

I created East Africa's most memorable fintech campaign that shifted the narrative from technology-as-progress to leisure-as-empowerment. M-Pesa wasn't sold as a tool; it was sold as a feeling, relief, freedom, and connection.

Impact: Elevated customers from subjects of charity to empowered consumers.

  • Put Kenyan identity, pride, and progress at the center of financial technology.
  • Transformed mobile money into social currency—something to talk about, share, celebrate.
  • Created a participatory digital culture where customers voluntarily promoted the service.
