What Dotsavvy does

Dotsavvy Limited is a privately held, full-service digital marketing agency headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya, operating as Dotsavvy / Dotsavvy Africa. Founded in 2004 and self-described as "Kenya's first digital business agency," the firm delivers an integrated portfolio of 22 services spanning digital strategy, website design and development, website management, campaign landing pages, social media management, content creation and production, video production, professional photography, digital animation, digital advertising, full-funnel digital campaigns, email marketing, mobile marketing, CRM and marketing automation, digital public relations, webinars and live streaming, digital event planning and management, social audio and podcasting, brand design and management, copywriting and blogging, and digital training. Service delivery is coordinated through account managers and senior individual contributors across creative, media, content, and technology functions, with no proprietary software platform, API, or SDK disclosed.

The company serves enterprise and institutional clients across financial services, consumer goods (CPG), real estate, technology, healthcare, travel and tourism, government, and NGO/nonprofit sectors. Geographic coverage is anchored in Kenya and extends across East Africa into Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, and Ethiopia. The firm is privately held with no disclosed parent company, institutional investors, or funding rounds, and is led by a lean team of fewer than 20 people (16 digital specialists cited on the main website). Revenue is generated through professional services engagements on a project and retainer basis, with pricing not publicly disclosed. Account Managers are expected to use AI productivity tools as a daily workflow layer for brief drafting, research synthesis, and performance commentary, but no proprietary AI/ML capabilities are commercialized.
