TV stations, podcast studios, YouTube channels, production houses, and media companies in Kenya order custom branded staff merch, talent gear, and sponsor activation items via M-Pesa. Design Yangu.
The DOP adjusting whites at 6 AM. The production coordinator running six WhatsApp threads simultaneously. The studio manager who somehow keeps everything moving. The video editor who's still in the office at 11 PM on a deadline.
These are Kenya's media and content professionals. And whether they're working at a legacy broadcaster, a lean YouTube studio, an up-and-coming podcast network, or an independent film production house they're building something. Something with a name, a brand, a culture.
Custom branded merch is how that culture becomes visible. This guide is for media houses, content studios, production companies, podcasting networks, radio stations, YouTube channels, and everyone in between.
Kenya's media economy has two faces the established and the emerging and both need merch.
