Her story

Josie Karimi is a social media strategist and manager, and the founder and Managing Director of Aila Content Agency.

She built Aila around one idea: creative work should be strategy-first. Her team builds brand presence that attracts the right audience, nurtures trust and drives action, from launching LYEC Solutions with no audience at all, to tripling the following of Nairobi's premium baby shop Baby Wow Wow, to helping an e-commerce skincare client hit a six-month revenue goal in three months.

Today Aila works with growth-focused brands across beauty, fashion, retail, education, fitness, real estate and agriculture, in Kenya and the UK.

Aila Content Agency is a growth-focused digital marketing agency helping brands turn visibility into measurable business growth. We combine strategy, content, AI, data and digital systems to help businesses attract the right audience and convert attention into revenue.

Every engagement is tailored to the business. We take time to understand its goals, customers, offers, market and existing performance before recommending what to create or where to show up. This allows us to develop strategies shaped by insight, not assumptions or trends.

Through strategic content, social media management, paid advertising and digital solutions, we build connected marketing systems designed to help you reach your marketing and revenue goals.

How we work

A clear process, from first conversation to measurable progress.

  1. Understand. Your goals, customers, offers, market and current performance, before we recommend anything.
  2. Position. Brand messaging, content pillars and a clear plan for where to show up.
  3. Create. Photo, video and graphics produced in-house, built for performance on every platform.
  4. Run. Organic and paid working together, with feed management, engagement and campaigns.
  5. Report. Monthly reporting and growth tracking, so every decision is grounded in real data.
