Intentional Growth
In Africa, film in education remains an untapped market with enormous potential for growth. Over 260 million students in Sub-Saharan Africa are enrolled across primary, secondary and tertiary levels. The growing Edtech movement, including the use of smartphone, computer and web applications to enhance teaching and learning, is creating the impetus needed for vast adoption of film and other audiovisual content as a learning resource in African schools.
We are highly proactive, innovative and responsive in developing film, education and technology convergence solutions that give us a competitive edge in the market while providing our investors with opportunities to maximize their investment benefits.
Scalability
The model of our business allows us to easily expand to other African countries. We will use the same film resources across multiple African countries to enhance teaching and learning experience. Advantageously, many African countries have similar education systems and use similar languages in classrooms, creating a fertile market to grow our film in education business.
It requires effective networking, face-to-face and virtual communications and cloud marketing developed and implemented by a talented and cohesive team to reach and sign up more education institutions to use Tunga and film products published therein as a learning resource.
We rely on a dedicated sales team to reach and ensure our potential users have a seamless process when subscribing to our platform from any part of Africa. A single salesperson can help an institution successfully purchase their Tunga subscription either virtually or via a face-to-face meeting under 24 hours.
