Some of Our Successful Campaigns

We conceptualized a campaign under the current UN HABITAT youth chief Doug Ragan to come up with a strategy to communicate the importance of safer cities to African youth. Our concept and strategy had two goals

• To allow young Africans to feel a sense of pride and ownership of their cities
  
• To change mindsets to affect the narrative on how African cities are viewed online and in the media in general. The goal was to change the narrative about Africa, to not only show war, hunger and poverty but to also reveal the growth, beauty and hope for the future of the continent.
  

We aspired to ensure that in a decade the campaign would self-sustain and we would redefine how the world sees African cities.

At the onset of the campaign, if you googled images of cities, you would view repeated images of slums and poverty. By gathering our networks online accessing traditional media, messaging, video and audio communication and employing a large number of communication strategies we mobilized hundreds of young people to post images of their cities online dubbed “I’m A City Changer”. The campaign singlehandedly changed the images of how African cities are viewed setting the pace for what you see today online. The campaign was massively successful and the effects are still visible today.

This campaign was designed to lobby African countries to stand up and take action against hunger in the Sahel region. The call to action was that African countries should not solely depend on aid from outside the continent. We offered our expertise and conceptualized a communication strategy that involved getting African artists across the continent to speak up and push their leaders to action. By use of various media platforms, messaging and viral videos from Africa’s top 10 celebrities including then multiple award-winning artistes P-Square, the culmination was a charter that was signed at the AU by African presidents pledging support for one another in times of crisis. Our campaign has since been used as teaching material on how to use modern and new ways of communicating to African youth.

“Tell Everybody” was a campaign in conjunction with one.org and the Global Citizen campaign. Sir Richard Curtis - Founder of Comic Relief and one of the champions of SDG goals, personally tasked us to offer communication ideas on how to share messaging with global and African youth. We suggested creating a piece of music that would bring together artists from across Africa to “ignite the political passions of young people to hold their leaders to account in meeting the Global Goals for Sustainable Development: to end extreme poverty, fight inequality and fix climate change by 2030.” The song, which we wrote and produced, was performed by the selected artists during the Global Citizen Festival in New York in 2015. The show was headlined by Beyonce, Ed Sheeran and Coldplay among others.

This campaign ran recently during the COVID-19 pandemic. We were tasked with raising awareness around COVID-19 vaccinations and leading a dialogue among the youth around vaccine information, disinformation, and apathy in Kenya. Our suggested strategy was to bring together entertainers of different kinds - artists, comedians, illustrators, animators and the like to run a successful campaign “Wai Chanjo” to open dialogue around vaccines. Within the campaign we used audio and visual strategies, messaging, influencers, media, press and social media and we far surpassed the intended result. The campaign has since been nominated for several awards.

In collaboration with Busara Center for Behavioral Economics, we are currently working on a three year campaign for The Freedom Fund titled “NIA” (Not Invisible Anymore). The campaign’s goal is to address and end Child Domestic Work (CDW) in Kenya.

Through the NIA campaign, The Freedom Fund aims not only to highlight the plight of Child Domestic Workers in Kenya but also to catalyze a significant shift in how society and the legal system view and treat these vulnerable members of our community. By integrating the standards of ILO Convention C189 into Kenyan law and practice, and by mobilizing community action and support, we aim to make a lasting difference in the lives of children and ensure that they are not invisible anymore.
