Celestine Achi Launches Africa’s First AI-Powered PR Ecosystem
In the rapidly evolving world of technology, few leaders have successfully bridged the gap between complex innovation and human-centered strategy like Celestine Achi. A recognized trailblazer in AI-powered communications, Mr. Achi has emerged as a defining voice in AI-driven communications education, advocacy, and strategy across Africa.
Spokesperson Digest reports that on May 21, 2025, Achi is set to take this leadership global with a groundbreaking multi-platform launch that includes a transformational book, an interactive gamified learning tool, a diagnostic model, and an AI implementation framework—each designed to empower the next generation of communicators.
Building an Ecosystem for AI-Powered PR
At the heart of this launch is his new book, AI-Powered PR: The Essential Guide for Communications Leaders to Master Artificial Intelligence. The publication serves as both a strategic manual and a desk companion, offering real-world case studies, practical prompts, and tools to guide readers through AI adoption in content creation, media intelligence, stakeholder engagement, and sentiment analysis.
Complementing the book is AI-Powered PR: The Interactive Experience, an innovative gamified simulator that places users in the role of a digital-era PR strategist. Through immersive, high-pressure AI-related scenarios, players gain hands-on experience navigating the complexities of modern public relations.
Adding further depth is the AI-PR Maturity Model™, an institutional roadmap that enables organizations to assess their AI readiness, benchmark against industry standards, and receive tailored advancement plans across six key domains of communications practice.
All these tools are tied together by the TABS-D™ Framework—Train, Adapt, Build, Ship, Deploy. This methodology, developed by Achi, has been a centerpiece of his workshops, masterclasses, and executive programs, offering a clear blueprint for organizations to move from AI ambition to impactful transformation.
Turning Learning into Impact
Achi’s TABS-D Framework is a five-phase blueprint that ensures ideas do not remain theoretical:
Train: Define AI objectives and provide foundational literacy.
Adapt: Evaluate readiness, addressing data and skills gaps.
Build: Develop practical AI solutions for real-world PR challenges.
Ship: Rigorously test for quality, compliance, and ethics.
Deploy: Implement at scale with continuous performance optimization.
Through workshops across Africa, Achi has helped executives and communicators build bots for press release drafting, create AI dashboards for multilingual media sentiment analysis, and develop strategies that place AI as a servant to communication goals—not the other way around.

Why This Matters Now
Achi’s initiatives come at a crucial time when generative AI, synthetic media, and algorithmic targeting are reshaping every aspect of media and public relations. As Achi notes, “The future of PR won’t be defined by press releases—it’ll be defined by who owns the data, who understands the narrative signals, and who can automate wisely without losing trust.”
With this in mind, Achi’s mission is bold: to train 100,000 African communicators in AI literacy and leadership by 2030. Through his books, certification programs, podcasts, and interactive platforms, he aims to equip professionals, educators, students, and agencies to lead Africa’s voice in the AI-powered communications revolution.
Tangible Impact in Action
Achi’s frameworks are already delivering impact. Nigeria’s National Orientation Agency adopted his TABS-D-inspired approach to launch an AI-driven citizen engagement system, an agency-to-agency AI collaborator, and a scenario visualization dashboard—enhancing policy response and inter-agency coordination.
Similarly, a pan-African NGO credits the AI-PR Maturity Model™ with helping it secure new grants by demonstrating a data-backed roadmap toward communications excellence.
Charting the Future of PR
With AI tools becoming mainstream, the PR profession stands at a turning point. Achi’s tools—particularly the AI-PR Maturity Model™ and TABS-D™ Framework—provide communications leaders with a pathway to not just react to the AI revolution but drive it. His frameworks empower teams to craft narratives that resonate, build trust through transparency, and measure impact with precision.
As Achi puts it, “Africa doesn’t need to catch up—we need to lead. This book and game are my contribution to building that leadership from the ground up.”
A Vision for African Leadership in AI Communications
The book features a foreword by Dr. Ike Neliaku, FNIPR, President of the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR), who underscores the publication’s significance in shaping the future of public relations in Africa.
According to Achi, the dual release is aimed at communications professionals, educators, agencies, students, and forward-looking institutions ready to embrace the AI-powered future of digital PR.
In his words: “We are not just building tools—we are building the future of African youth to own the AI narrative and create wealth for Africa.”
PRNigeria gathers that both the book and the game will be available globally from May 21, 2025, in print and digital formats through the following platforms:
