Before you write

How quickly will you reply?
We reply to briefs within one working day, and same day on WhatsApp. During a shoot our number answers at any hour.

Do you sign NDAs?
Yes, routinely. Projects in development are treated as confidential by default.
What time zone are you in?
East Africa Time, UTC+3. We work with clients in the Americas, Europe, Asia and Australia and will take a call at whatever hour suits your end.
