About Tifiossi

Rooted in
Mozambique.
Connected
to the world.

Tifiossi Serviços E.I. was founded in Maputo by Xavier Machiana — a senior communications and development professional with over 25 years of experience across international NGOs, advertising, media, and the arts.

We sit at the intersection of international standards and deep local knowledge. We understand Mozambican communities, media landscapes, government structures, and cultural dynamics — and we use that understanding to deliver communications that actually work.

Our clients range from global development agencies and UN bodies to energy companies, banks, and cultural institutions. What they share is a need to communicate with purpose, credibility, and impact.

🎯
Purpose-Driven
Every strategy is built around measurable outcomes, not just outputs.
🌍
Locally Grounded
Deep roots in Mozambican communities, culture and media ecosystems.
Senior-Led
Every mandate is led personally by our founder — not delegated to juniors.
🔗
Connected
A network spanning government, private sector, media, and civil society.
"We don't just shape narratives — we build the trust that makes narratives believable."
