New York City, U.S., 8th May 2024 – Ilex Content Strategies, a global B2B marketing and communications agency, has been selected by Hayo, an innovator in digital solutions in Africa, as its agency of record. Ilex will be supporting Hayo’s long-term growth with a comprehensive suite of marketing and communications services including brand development, messaging, borderless PR, content strategy, and sales enablement. Ilex was selected based on its experience in marketing in Africa and the Middle East as well as its track record of supporting growth and exit strategies.
Hayo has been operating in Africa for more than two decades, serving governments, regulators, service providers, mobile network operators and enterprises in some of Africa’s largest markets.

Our work with Ilex is about communicating innovation and bringing our story to local and global audiences. We have achieved so much on-the-ground in Africa, and we want governments, MNOs, service providers and enterprises to see and understand our full digital capabilities,” said Feraz Ahmed, CEO at Hayo. “Ilex has served some of the most exciting and dynamic businesses in global tech and has a comprehensive offering that aligns with our vision for simple, seamless and powerful solutions that have a positive impact on local people’s lives.”
