WE HELP CLIENTS MAXIMISE THEIR
OPPORTUNITIES AND MINIMISE THEIR RISKS.
We produce high quality commercial intelligence on countries, specific issues, deals or even particular individuals. This due diligence and our contingent analysis allows our clients to make informed decisions in situations where information is at a premium.
We have helped companies, governments and high profile individuals produce communications strategies to enhance their reputations and to consolidate their licence to operate. We can either produce a strategy for clients or work with their existing communications staff to optimise their products.
In markets where value is at risk from regime or policy change, we can provide rolling coverage to ensure our clients fully understand the context in which they are operating.
We advise clients how best to align their interests with stakeholders. Our local networks allow us to manage the competing pressures on local decision makers to ensure our clients receive the best possible outcome.
We believe the best way to manage a crisis is to avoid it. Our commercial intelligence, political risk and stakeholder engagement services allow our clients to see problems before they develop.
However, there will always be unforeseen events and our team of skilled crisis managers help our clients limit the scope, duration and impact of hostile action, whilst our extensive media network allows our clients’ voices to be heard.
Formed in 2004, PM Consulting originally built its reputation by producing high quality reporting on Nigeria. Building on this foundation, PMC has been able to develop access across sub-Saharan Africa to give clients the information they need successfully to navigate their way past complex and expensive threats.

Jonathan Cooper
COO Jonathan Cooper has been both a producer and a buyer of commercial intelligence. Originally a lawyer, he then joined the UK Foreign & Commonwealth Office. After business school, he managed new country entry projects and external affairs for a number of global extractive companies before joining Promedia.
PMC enjoys an unparalleled reputation on Africa within the commercial intelligence and strategic communications sector. In fact, a major tranche of our business comes from larger consultancy firms sub-contacting their work to us.
Our clients choose us because unlike our competitors, we maintain our own networks in key countries. These long-standing relationships allow us to obtain greater detail, depth and reliability in our reporting. At the same time, having our own contacts allows us to be more efficient and achieve faster turn around times.
Dealing only with people on the ground that we know and trust means that we can offer our clients greater operational security to protect sensitive projects. From a compliance standpoint, this means that the client can be sure that the information has been legally obtained.
Our focus on original, primary source research allows PMC to deliver a level of detail, quality and value that is unrivalled in the market. We are established as the trusted brand for research and analysis about the continent across complex sectors and difficult jurisdictions by key industry names.
We believe the results speak for themselves in terms of both quality and value.
