Tedmade Studios is a creative production and video content company based in Westlands, Nairobi, Kenya. We specialise in video production, film production, branded content, digital marketing and creative storytelling, helping businesses and brands bring their ideas to life through compelling visuals and strategic content.

Our vision

To be Africa's most trusted storyteller, where creative narratives reshape markets, inspire pride and become landmarks.

One advert runs and ends. A story keeps people watching.

So we build formats, not one-offs: shows, podcasts and content slates that keep a brand present and relevant week after week.

Joyride started as one studio conversation. It grew into a group show, a documentary love series and a campus edition.
