About Felix Tih

A strategist built for the complexity of African policy and global influence.

Felix Tih has spent more than fifteen years at the intersection of communications strategy, media intelligence, and African development narratives. He built his practice working directly with institutions and senior figures who needed more than press releases. They needed someone who understood the policy environment, the media landscape, and the specific reputational stakes of operating at continental or international scale.

His work spans Cameroon, the broader CEMAC region, and multilateral spaces where African voices must be heard with clarity and authority. He founded Bantu Gazette to create an editorial home for evidence-based African authorship. He advises leaders not just on what to say, but on how credibility is built over time.

  • Combines editorial discipline with strategic communications expertise
  • Brings direct knowledge of African policy, institutional culture, and media dynamics
  • Produces content that meets the standard of Bloomberg, TIME, and The Atlantic
  • Prioritizes measurable positioning outcomes over generic communications support

Clients trust Felix because he treats their reputation as a long-term asset, not a campaign deliverable.

Executive Communications

A senior government official preparing for a high-profile multilateral forum needed a communications posture that would hold up under international scrutiny.

Developed a complete message architecture, prepared the leader for press interactions, and placed op-eds in two international outlets. The official’s positioning was cited by regional media as among the most coherent at the summit.

Institutional Narrative

A regional development organization needed to translate five years of technical work into a compelling public case for continued donor investment.

Produced a flagship impact report combining data storytelling, executive messaging, and editorial direction. The publication secured renewed funding conversations with three major international partners.
