    Alemu Emuron

    A new generation steps onto the agency floor, digital-native, values-driven, and impatient with outdated rules. They design, shoot, test, and build audiences in real time, reshaping how ideas are made and shared. This is the collision between experience and evolution, and the fragile promise of what Uganda’s creative future could become.

    The Future is Creative: Gen Z, Talent, and the New Workforce Reshaping Uganda’s Advertising Industry

    Jeff WintersThe Big StoryDecember 15, 2025December 15, 2025

    The first three parts of MadMen, Dreamers and Deal-Makers were about how the machine was built, broken, and survived. This part is about who is going to drive it next….

    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.

    MADMEN, DREAMERS, AND DEAL-MAKERS – The Accidental Admen: How Uganda’s Creative Giants Found Their Way into the Industry

    Jeff WintersThe Big StoryDecember 10, 2025December 10, 2025

    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…

    Alemu Emuron, the founder of The Quollective Africa and a multi-award-winning creative leader (Cannes Lions, Loeries, One Show), is pictured. This image symbolizes his journey from an accidental copywriter start at Ignition Advertising and Maad Advertising in Kampala to leading global accounts for brands like Airtel and judging at top international festivals. His philosophy emphasizes lifelong learning, the strategic balance of financial KPIs with creativity, and a mission to elevate African storytelling on the world stage. Keywords include: Creative Leadership, Pan-African Campaigns, Cannes Lions Winner, Ugandan Creative, Advertising Strategy, and Cultural Immersion.
