Our Mission: Surprise and entertain, inform and enrich.
Our Products We’re building digital media products that break boundaries, challenge preconceived notions and appeal to a highly mobile, increasingly savvy and demanding audience.

Corporate Video While most corporate videos are predictable and totally obvious (read boring), we at AIC create corporate videos that are attention-grabbing and highly utilitarian.
Offered in three categories: A) Corporate Overview/ Introduction. This is a video that can be used online on a corporate website, provided to the media (TV stations regularly need video to use, particularly for business stories and our videos are optimised for broadcast) or used for presentations.
B) Feel Good. We find and tell individual success stories that bring out the essence of your organisation’s goals to better serve clients and give back to society at the same time. In so doing, we ensure the audience walks away remembering both your organisation and its core values.
C) Online Advert. This is a creative endeavour that the whole Africa Insight Company gets involved in. As opposed to the frustrating, interruptive form of advertising experienced on regular TV broadcasts, this media creation attracts a viewer in the first few seconds and holds their attention, through powerful storytelling.
Whatever category you choose, we put a familiar, human face to your activities, creating an emotional proximity between the services you offer and the public.
Snapshot Infographics Videos (SIVs) Information graphics or infographics are graphic visual representations of information, data or knowledge intended to present complex information quickly and clearly. They can improve cognition by utilizing graphics to enhance the human visual system’s ability to see patterns and trends.This process is what we refer to as data visualization, information design, or information architecture. Our creativity and understanding of media types and interactivity allow us to develop SIV’s that are clear and captivating. WATCH NOW
