After making an indelible impact during her tenure, Pamela D Nyakabau has bid farewell to Mambos following her successful stint as Marketing Manager.
Nyakabau played an instrumental role in transforming Mambos into a widely recognized brand name. Her creative and strategic marketing campaigns heavily influenced by Nandos, significantly boosted the company’s visibility and engagement.
However, some controversial ads led to mistaken assumptions about the marketing department leadership. In particular, cheeky chicken-part campaigns like “Ngaapinde hake mukoma” and descriptions of “tender, juicy thighs and breasts” caused a stir.
After provocative tweets criticizing these ads, many people became intrigued by the Mambos brand and started following them online. But some assumed a man must be behind the bold marketing decisions.

In an interview addressing this issue, Nyakabau asserted she does not feel responsible for people’s interpretations. As she noted, it is common knowledge that chickens naturally have thighs and breasts.
Nyakabau’s ability to link trending topics with product marketing was a true superpower. She adeptly leveraged real-time conversations as a launchpad for engaging campaigns.
Even when engaging customers on non-chicken topics, her tone and style firmly represented the Mambos brand voice. She drove organic reach by responding authentically to wide-ranging conversations.
While some ads were deemed controversial, Nyakabau focused on effective messaging rather than shock value. Her data-driven approach aimed to boost familiarity with the Mambos name through creative, conversation-starting concepts.
According to company leadership, Nyakabau’s efforts succeeded in propelling Mambos into the mainstream while driving online engagement. Website traffic, social media followers, and brand awareness metrics all reflected her positive impact.
As she moves on from Mambos, Nyakabau leaves big shoes to fill. Her vision and skill in leveraging trends and sparking dialogue was a tremendous asset during her time as Marketing Manager.
The company will bid her farewell with immense gratitude for vastly expanding their visibility and recognition. Through innovative campaigns and an intuitive sense of the cultural moment, she ensured Mambos stayed top of mind in an evolving digital landscape.
Nyakabau has left an indelible legacy and proven herself an invaluable leader. As Mambos charts its future marketing strategy, her successful tenure will provide inspiration and benchmark.
