Check these out. I would expect smaller brands to steal ideas, copy and paste them as their own but it's very disappointing when big 'I'm proud to be kenyan' brands do it. Check this links and share your views.

What do you guy's expect Kenyan Companies to do?
They compete with "world class website developers" at a price of KSh 10k or even less.
I am a developer myself and cannot do a "custom made" page for such ridiculous amount.
If you have to do a site from scratch using photoshop, fireworks and finally dreamweaver to code html,php, css and maybe javascript a price of 500 to 2000 Euros is adequate.
Most sites "made in Kenya" are copied,templates, WordPress or Joomla.
That is what you get for $ 100...

That's a lame excuse. Create value and people will pay you for it after all you're selling yourself as a brand to the global market and not just Kenya.




There's that... or you could just copy and paste.

No excuse at all, bring ONE Kenyan client who is willing to pay a standard price of $ 200 for a logo and I am willing to give you a cut:)[/quote]

You missed my point. All I'm saying is you need to decide what comes first between the money and your credibility. I always make sure I do my best and produce the best work because long even after the client has moved on I would be proud to show it off in my portfolio. The stuff you do for that 10bob client is what will bring you the 10million bob client. When you go out there put your mark in everything you touch and blessings will follow you, ask Obama

You are right, I did miss the point. Unfortunately I still have to struggle with the "10bob" clients

Unless I'm missing the point, aren't all the companies you've mentioned local subsidiaries of multi nationals who most probably issue edicts on marketing strategies.

Hahaha, Maqbul is Old Spice guy? You've got to be kidding me! The main reason Old Spice guy worked was because that man was undeniably handsome. Can't say the same for Maqbul.
