Kagiso Media is aiming to grow its Africa partnerships to take advantage of the growing demand for content, both digital and in broadcasting. A never ending discussion, which I believe will certainly continue this year, is growth in Africa and Kagiso can only but benefit from from stepping into these markets. Onwards and upwards!
Speaking of growth, Nigerian online shopping store, JUMIA, is making waves on the continent and has now extended its services to Uganda, providing locals with access to products ranging from fashion, electronics and home appliances, to mobile devices and beauty.
In the last piece of our 2014 Biz Trends series, Terry Levin talks about the African Renaissance and how Africa's natural and human resources will be pivotal in almost every category you care to name in the decades to come. If you missed a few of our Trends articles, make sure you catch up on your reading in the Biz Trends special section!
Have a great week!
Cheers! Ilse van den Berg, Editor: Marketing & Media Africa (@Biz_Africa)
