Hi, I’m Isatou Bokum.
ThinkSolv is a boutique communications consultancy led by Isatou M. Bokum. I work globally with creatives, nonprofits, startups, and mission-driven organizations to shape strategic communication that informs, inspires, and drives meaningful impact.
With a background spanning brand strategy, digital communications, advocacy messaging, and campaign execution, I bring a cross-sector and cross-cultural perspective to every project I lead. My work is grounded in clarity, equity-centered storytelling, and a deep respect for the real people behind every mission.
Rather than operating as a traditional firm, ThinkSolv is intentionally founder-led and relationship-driven. Every engagement is shaped through deep listening, co-creation, and a clear understanding of power, equity, and audience realities.
The work blends strategy, storytelling, and execution to help individuals and organizations clarify their message, strengthen trust, and move people to action.
ThinkSolv operates globally, partnering with clients across education, social impact, policy, creative industries, and emerging ventures.
My Approach
This approach guides every engagement at ThinkSolv.
Clarity First
I start by helping you clarify what matters — your message, your audience, and your goals. Clear positioning and intentional messaging create the foundation for everything that follows.
Story With Substance
I believe storytelling should be grounded in real work and real impact. Together, we shape narratives that are honest, human, and aligned with your values — not surface-level marketing.
Strategy That Moves
Strategy only matters if it leads to action. I design communication and digital strategies that are practical, scalable, and built to move your work forward — from planning to execution.
How I Work
ThinkSolv is intentionally founder-led and collaborative. I work closely with clients to understand their goals, context, and constraints, and design engagements that are grounded in clarity and built to evolve over time.
Most projects begin with strategy, clarifying messaging, audience, and direction and expand into social, digital, campaign, or growth support as needs develop. Work is structured through clear scopes, timelines, and deliverables, ensuring alignment from the start and focus throughout.
I prioritize collaboration and transparency at every stage. Clients are not handed a strategy and left to execute alone; instead, I stay involved as a strategic partner, guiding decisions, refining direction, and supporting execution where needed.
When projects require creative production, such as video, photography, animation, or design, I provide creative direction and coordinate with trusted external partners. I manage communication, timelines, and quality control so clients have a single, clear point of contact throughout the process.
The goal is always the same: thoughtful strategy, intentional execution, and work that moves forward with clarity and purpose.
