What we do

Five pillars. One team. No hand-offs.

Strategy, creative, production, influence and the technology underneath it — all under one roof. We stay deliberately small so senior people do the work, not just the pitch.

+

Branding & Merchandising

The full identity stack — from strategy and positioning to packaging, collateral and the merchandise people wear out of the room.

+

Digital Marketing

Growth systems that keep a brand in the conversation every day — social, campaigns, paid + organic growth, and reporting that shows what the marketing actually did.

+

Content Production

The creative engine — art direction, photography, video, design and publications built for African audiences at global standards.

+

Influencer Management

Creator partnerships and celebrity activations — from micro-creators to the biggest streamers on earth — designed, negotiated and run end to end.

+

Technology Platform

Websites, e-commerce and full custom business operating systems — the frontend customers see and the backend that runs the factory, the finance and the people. Recently: the end-to-end OS behind Khatma Cathi.

Selected work

Proof, not promises.

From national celebrity tours to boutique brand builds — a snapshot of engagements across public, private and entertainment worlds.

Global talent × Public sector — National tour

IShowSpeed Kenya Tour

Working with the Kenya Tourism Board, IShowSpeed's management, Wowzi, Pinnacle Consulting Agency and partners, we built the tour itinerary and executed the livestreams across Nairobi and the Maasai Mara — the most-streamed leg of the tour, beamed live to millions worldwide.

Technology — Business operating system

Khatma Cathi — The full company OS

We designed and built the operating system for Khatma Cathi — a fully fledged frontend storefront at khatmacathi.com and a custom backend that runs the entire company. One platform for the factory floor (production, inventory, orders and dispatch), the finance stack (invoicing, payments, expenses and reporting) and the people side (staff, roles, timesheets and performance) — replacing spreadsheets and disconnected tools with a single source of truth.

How we work

Small team. Straight line.

No account-manager telephone. You talk to the people making the work, and the work moves fast.

+01 — Understand

We start with the business, not the brief

A working session to understand your market, margins and what "more" actually means for you — customers, bookings, revenue, reputation.

+02 — Build

Strong decisions, shown early

We bring a confident creative direction to the first review — real designs, real copy, real prototypes — then iterate quickly with you.

+03 — Add

Launch is the start, not the finish

We stay through launch and beyond: content calendars, campaign optimisation, and the extra ideas nobody asked for but everybody remembers.
