About

A marketing and production agency in Lilongwe

Pixel Flares works for NGOs and companies in Malawi, and for clients in the United Kingdom, the European Union and the United States. Four practitioners direct the work. Research comes first, and everything after it is built from what the research found.

The work for our overseas clients is produced from Malawi. Work made in Lilongwe for a client in Manchester is judged by the same people, to the same standard, as work made in Manchester. Clients in Malawi get that standard too.

Being here is also what overseas clients cannot buy elsewhere. When an American engineering non-profit needed to know how rural households talk about hand pumps, the answer was five districts away, and we went.
