Take a Tour of Nairobi’s Public Libraries!

I love visiting public libraries whenever I go out of town.  Not only do I like to be in a space that celebrates literacy, but public libraries are a good reflection of how much a town or city feels about its public spaces and infrastructure, as well as supporting art and culture in the community.

So my business partner in Kenya told me about this tour of public libraries in Nairobi, I was overjoyed!  The tours are hosted by a company called Book Bunk.

This is from their website: “We are Angela Wachuka and Wanjiru Koinange, the founders of Book Bunk. Book Bunk is a social impact firm restoring some of Nairobi’s most iconic public libraries. Our background is in arts management and book publishing – we’ve managed projects ranging from podcasts, artists’ residency programmes and publication of some of Africa’s leading authors in the past decade. Our collective work centres around literature, memory, public art spaces, and the creative economy. In 2018, we featured in The Kenyan Cool Girl’s Guide to Nairobi on Vogue Magazine!”

I hope to do the tour the next time I am in Nairobi.  If you want to go on the tour, click on the image below from Airbnb.

Brand Development

Having a clear brand strategy is very important for every individual and organization today, but are you clearly delivering your message? Whether you are looking to motivate your customers or supporters, establish credibility or grow your organization, it is vital to spend time researching and building your brand with a solid content development strategy. We can help you develop a brand strategy that serves your content marketing purposes.

Content Strategy

It really doesn’t matter how fabulous your website looks or how many social media tools you use. If you don’t have great content on your sites, most people will not only not care about your web presence, but they will also not care to learn more about you or your organization. Having high-quality content on your web presence is a top priority for establishing both your credibility and your brand. Global Wire Associates can write and edit persuasive copy, as well as provide suggestions on how to best use digital photos, graphics, and video for marketing your cause, service or product.

We can also provide ghostwriting services for confidential purposes. Our staff is made up of experienced writers, journalists, graphic and web designers and other multimedia content producers ready to serve you.

Media Development

Global Wire Associates was started by journalists guided by the principles of freedom of expression and diversity in journalism. We provide technical training for journalists around the world who support democratic dialogue through a free, independent media.

Media For Development

Media for development is a term referring to the use of mass media to convey messages about current international development issues. We work with individuals and organizations in developing countries on constructing content strategies and message development.
