Access Kenya Case Study

  • Tell-Em Public Relations worked with AccessKenya from June 2006 – December 2007. During that time we moved AccessKenya from the perception of low key player in the Kenyan ICT sector to the market leader for ISPs.
  • We implemented campaigns for various product launches including – Go, Yello, BB Max 1 & 2 and Bundu – the VSAT product.
  • In eighteen months we generated 240 media hits, (aside from the IPO campaign) across a wide range of media at a value of US $211,314.
  • For the IPO campaign from February to June 2007 we generated 273 media hits at a value of US $ 154,634.
