JHB Consult
Context
In the spring of 2021, Jan-Hendrik Burger took a leap. A South African-born lawyer based in Paris, France, he left a top international law firm where he had spent more than 15 years of his career in order to launch the business he had been drawing up for years.
Mere weeks after committing to follow his dream, he founded JHB Consult, an advisory firm that helps project developers and investors in the clean energy, agricultural, and health sectors to successfully navigate the challenges of working in Africa.
Wishing to build a brand strategy aligned with the vision and goals he had set for his new company and wanting to be guided towards its successful implementation, Jan called on Making You Smile.
