Matimu Define Mabunda

I am a highly motivated and seasoned Communications and Media Relations Specialist with over five years of experience spanning journalism, public relations, stakeholder engagement, and corporate communications. I have a strong track record of developing and executing strategic communication initiatives that enhance brand visibility, support organisational goals, and drive meaningful engagement. My expertise includes science communication, branding, digital content creation, internal and external communication, as well as media relations—ensuring consistent messaging across platforms and audiences. I’m also skilled in budget control, procurement processes, and leading cross-functional teams in delivering high-impact communications campaigns.

In addition to my core communications background, I bring extensive experience in end-to-end event management—having successfully coordinated conferences, workshops, seminars, and corporate events. I manage every aspect of the event lifecycle, from concept development and logistics planning to execution, reporting, and post-event evaluation. I’m proficient in developing event marketing strategies across social and digital media to maximise attendance and visibility.
