QWM accepts three new mandates per quarter. Briefing requests are reviewed within 72 hours, in confidence, by the CEO directly.
QWM works with principals who already understand that strategic counsel sits upstream of execution — and who are ready to commit to that order of work.
Football associations, continental confederations, tournament organisers operating at federation-board level.
Ministries of sport, tourism boards, and host-nation strategic offices around major continental and global tournaments.
Sovereign wealth, family offices, and institutional allocators evaluating African sport as an asset class, equity opportunity, or capital allocation thesis — engaging QWM for due diligence, market reads, and the trusted local intelligence layer.
Global consumer brands, rights buyers, and sponsorship principals seeking activation, sponsorship, or commercial deployment — turning marketing budgets into on-the-ground presence across African football and continental sport.
Host cities, organising committees, and bidding authorities for AFCON, FIFA tournaments, and continental sporting events.
QWM does not engage on the following — not as a matter of capacity, but as a matter of fit.
Execution-only briefs without a strategic counsel layer.
Agency comparisons or competitive pitch processes on price.
Short-cycle campaigns disconnected from a longer institutional arc.
Mandates without a clear principal-level counterparty on your side.
All requests are reviewed by the CEO directly within 72 hours. Submissions are confidential. We will respond either way — including if the fit is not right.
There is no public rate card. Fees are structured per mandate — retainer, project, or long-arc counsel — and set out in writing after the briefing, once the shape of the work is understood. We do not compete on price.
Briefing requests are reviewed within 72 hours by the CEO directly. QWM accepts three new mandates per quarter; if the quarter is full, you are told so plainly and offered the next available window.
No. Every mandate requires a principal-level counterparty on your side — a federation president, a minister, a fund principal, a brand chief. Requests routed through agencies or consultants are declined.
Yes — before, during, and after the engagement. Submissions are reviewed by the CEO only, never shared, and never used as reference. Methodology and mandate detail are disclosed under NDA at briefing stage.
QWM Africa operates in 23+ markets through five regional offices — Casablanca, Abidjan, Nairobi, Yaoundé, Johannesburg — with native-language delivery in English, French, and Arabic.
Existing counterparties, sitting principals, and direct introductions: write directly. Briefing requests via direct channel are prioritised in the 72-hour review.

All mandate work is conducted in confidence. Travel-led across the African continent as institutional cycles require.
