    Uganda’s advertising industry has been shaped by resilient leaders who understand both the brilliance and the burden of creative work. David Galukande built an agency culture so intense it felt like a movement, while Josephine Muvumba powered through long, thrilling yet exhausting early years that blurred passion and pressure. John Chihi continues to navigate the financial strain that quietly wears teams down, and Seanice Kacungira leads in a digital era where constant iteration leaves little room to breathe. Together, their stories reveal an industry fuelled by ambition but shadowed by stress and burnout—demanding systems that protect the people behind the ideas.

    Brilliance at a Bad Price: Burnout, Stress and Survival in Uganda’s Advertising Industry, Where Working Long Hours is a Norm

    Jeff WintersThe Big StoryDecember 12, 2025December 12, 2025

    If the first part of this series was about how the madmen stumbled into the machine, and the second about how the money broke it, this part is about what…

    Uganda’s advertising veterans sit at familiar desks, but the industry around them has transformed. Once fuelled by fat retainers and overflowing media commissions, agencies now battle thin scopes, shrinking budgets, and relentless pressure to do more for less. Amid late payments, eroded ethics, and generational tension, leaders fight to protect creativity, integrity, and value. This is the quiet, stubborn struggle to keep an old machine alive on fading fuel.

    An AD Agency Industry in Pain: Broken Retainers, Shrinking Budgets and the Fight for Value vs Ethics

    Jeff WintersThe Big StoryDecember 11, 2025December 11, 2025

    If part one of MadMen, Dreamers and Deal-Makers was about how Uganda’s advertising giants stumbled into the industry, this part, which is precisely part two, reminds you of what happened…

    A photo collage of Jeffrey Amani, Adris Kamuli, David Case, Peter Magona, Daniel Ligyalingi, Rommel Jasi, Alemu Emuron, and Joshua Kamugabirwe. Uganda’s ad industry was built by “accidentals” who wandered in through cricket pitches, rugby chats, art schools, and random interviews. With no clear pipeline, they learned by doing, then became founders, mentors, and standards-setters—turning side doors into institutions and asking how to keep luck alive, but kinder, for others today.

    If Uganda had built a proper advertising pipeline, this story would be very boring. There would be brochures in Senior Six career offices defining “account management.” Parents would nod proudly…

    Moses Lutalo argues Uganda’s real estate struggles aren’t about demand, but broken systems: costly financing, volatile currency, heavy taxes, and weak land governance squeezing developers daily, scaring off long-term capital.

    Uganda’s property market mirrors the macro: steady growth, low inflation and a firm shilling support demand. Urbanisation and new industrial cities spread opportunity, but quality supply remains scarce in 2026.

    The Future of Uganda’s Property Market and Where to Invest in 2026

    Jeff WintersThe Big StoryDecember 4, 2025December 4, 2025

    Real estate markets are, at their core, mirrors of the economies they sit within. In advanced economies, that mirror reflects a relatively stable image: steady credit markets, predictable consumer demand,…

    A photo montage of Knight Frank’s Judy Rugasira Kyanda, Broll Property’s Moses Lutalo, Quality Chemical’s Ajay Kumar Pal, Stanbic Bank CFO Ronald Makata, MTN CFO Andrew Bugembe, and Innovex’s Douglas Baguma. Uganda’s CEOs and CFOs are navigating a tight-liquidity economy where money is costly and slow-moving. Discipline, smarter capital allocation, and tighter risk management now define survival as companies rethink growth, debt, and currency exposure.
