Frequently Asked Questions

Got Questions?

Everything you need to know before working with us. If you don't see your answer here, hit us on WhatsApp.

Working With Us
How do I get started with a project?
+

Start by filling in the contact form or dropping us a WhatsApp message. We'll schedule a free 30-minute scoping call to understand your goals, timeline, and budget. From there we prepare a formal proposal within 2–3 business days.

What information do you need to send a quote?
+

The more context the better, but to get started we typically need:

  • What service(s) you're interested in
  • A brief description of your brand and what you want to achieve
  • Your approximate timeline
  • Any reference work or brands you admire
  • Your budget range (a rough ballpark helps us scope correctly)
Do you work with clients outside Nairobi or Kenya?
+

Yes. We work remotely with clients across East Africa, the wider continent, and internationally. For video production projects that require a physical shoot in Nairobi, travel costs outside the city are discussed and agreed in advance. All communication, approvals, and delivery happen digitally.

How many clients do you take on at once?
+

We cap active projects deliberately to protect quality. For monthly retainers, we take a maximum of 3 active clients per quarter. For project-based work, capacity varies — which is why early enquiry is recommended. If we're at capacity, we'll tell you honestly and put you on a waitlist.

Pricing & Payments
Why are prices in USD?
+

USD provides a stable reference point for both local and international clients, and many of the tools, software, and platforms we use are priced in USD. Payments can be made in KES at the prevailing rate on the day of invoice — we accept M-Pesa, bank transfer, and Paystack.

What payment methods do you accept?
+

We accept:

  • M-Pesa (Paybill or Till)
  • Kenyan bank transfer (KCB, Equity, NCBA, etc.)
  • Paystack (card payments — Visa, Mastercard)
  • International wire transfer (USD/EUR/GBP)

Cryptocurrency payments can be discussed for international clients on request.

What is the payment structure for projects?
+

Standard structure is 50% deposit upfront before work begins, and 50% on delivery. For larger projects (above $5,000), we can arrange milestone-based payments split into thirds. Monthly retainers are billed at the start of each month.

Do you offer discounts?
+

We offer a 10% discount on annual retainer commitments paid upfront. For NGOs, social enterprises, and youth-led creative businesses in Kenya, we consider discounted rates on a case-by-case basis — reach out and tell us about your work.

Process & Timelines
How long does a typical project take?
+

Rough timelines by service:

  • Landing page: 7–10 business days
  • Business website: 3–5 weeks
  • Brand identity: 2–4 weeks
  • Social media content package: 5–7 business days
  • Brand commercial: 3–5 weeks (including pre-production)
  • Music video: 4–6 weeks
  • AI content campaign: 5–7 business days

Timelines are confirmed in your project proposal and depend on how quickly feedback and approvals come from your side.

How many revisions are included?
+

Revision rounds depend on the package — typically 2–3 rounds are included and clearly stated in your proposal. A "revision round" means consolidated feedback submitted in one batch, not individual back-and-forth requests. Additional revision rounds beyond what's included are billed at an agreed hourly or day rate.

What if I need something urgently?
+

Rush delivery is available for most services. A rush surcharge of 25–40% applies depending on how compressed the timeline is. Contact us first to check current capacity — we won't take a rush project we can't execute properly.

AI & Creative Content
Does "AI-powered" mean lower quality?
+

No — and this misconception costs brands money. AI tools accelerate production and reduce cost, but the quality of output depends entirely on creative direction, prompt engineering, post-production, and brand understanding. We've generated campaigns with AI that outperformed traditionally shot content. The tools are irrelevant — the creative thinking behind them is what matters.

Who owns the content you produce for me?
+

You do. Upon receipt of full payment, all creative deliverables — files, footage, designs, and source assets — transfer to you. We retain the right to display the work in our portfolio and case studies unless you request otherwise in writing before project commencement.

Do you provide source files?
+

Yes — for design projects, source files (Figma, Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop) are included in Professional and Premium packages. For video, we deliver the final export; raw footage and project files are available for an additional archiving fee. For web projects, you receive full access to the codebase and CMS.

Still Have a Question?

We respond to WhatsApp in under 4 hours during business hours (Mon–Fri, 8am–6pm EAT).
