Royal Media Services sought to pioneer a digital-first content experience for Kenyan audiences. While RMS held an unmatched leadership position in broadcast, the ambition was to translate this dominance into the digital domain  by launching a platform that celebrated Kenyan stories, local talent, and Swahili-first content.

Embeds a refreshed brand identity that speaks to a modern, diverse audience
