Why we’re called Nnete
We turn “huh?” into “oh.”
Nnete is a creative and communications agency in Gaborone. You bring us what you need to say, however complicated. We make it something people understand, believe and remember.
Nnete · Setswana for truth
A name we have to live up to.
We called ourselves Nnete because it’s a standard, not a slogan.
Everything we make has to pass three questions before it goes out. Is it true? Will people understand it the first time? Would they believe it?
It slows us down at the start. It saves our clients a lot of trouble later.
What we believe.
Trust outlasts attention.

Trust Outlasts Attention
You can buy attention for a week. Trust takes longer to earn and lasts far longer. We work for the second one.
Clear beats clever.
If it needs explaining, it isn't finished. We'd rather your audience understood us than admired us.
Listen first.
You can't change what people think until you know what they think. So before we pitch ideas, we ask.
Show the numbers.
We measure before and after, and we tell you what we find including what didn't work.

Part of a bigger family
Ideas with production muscle.
Nnete is part of a group of companies that includes Stage Works Africa, an events and technical production company, and Health Generation.
So when an idea needs a stage, a screen, a live stream or a crew on the road, we don’t hand it to strangers. We call colleagues we work with every day.

The people behind it.
The people you meet at the first meeting are the people who do the work.
