OUR SERVICES

Brand Setup and Copyright Registration

Most creatives in Kenya lose revenue, or lose their entire brand, because nobody showed them how to secure it. We handle the paperwork so nobody can steal your sweat.
If you are just starting out, we will:
  • Take inventory of what you have created and explain what needs urgent protection.
  • Register your copyright formally with KECOBO.
  • Register your business name, logo, and creative brand with the BRS and KIPI.
  • Set up a proper legal structure so you can send professional invoices and sign contracts safely.
  • Teach you your rights under Kenyan law in plain, simple English.
If you are already established, we will:
  • Audit your current setups to find gaps where you are exposed.
  • Clean up and document your entire intellectual property (IP) portfolio.
  • Restructure how your creative assets are held so you can safely license them, bring in investors, or pass them down as an inheritance.

The Full Catalogue Audit and IP Asset Register

You’ve built a solid career. Now, let’s find your missing royalties.

You have songs, photos, videos, scripts, and collab agreements scattered across WhatsApp, emails, and flash drives. We track every asset you own.

Our 7-Stage Blueprint fixes this by tracking every beat and video, verifying the legal trail, and tagging work with international digital passports like ISRC and ISWC.

Every audit includes:

  • A Priority Action Plan for your top 10 money-making steps.
  • An IP Lawyer’s legal review of all flagged risks.

💡 How We Work: Available as a 5-Day Full Catalogue Deep-Dive or a 3-Day High-Priority Intensive. Both are one-off, flat-rate projects.

Music Distribution, Copyright Strikes and AI Advisory

Getting your tracks onto Spotify, Apple Music, Boomplay, or YouTube is easy. Keeping 100% of your rights and revenue? That is where creatives get tripped up. The AI Danger Zone (What you need to know):

  • If you use tools like Suno, Udio, or other AI generators to create beats, loops, or soundscapes, be careful.
  • Creators across East Africa are getting hit with sudden copyright strikes and having their YouTube channels demonetized.
  • Because AI models train on existing copyrighted music, automated systems can flag your tracks even if you paid for the AI subscription.
  • We help you navigate this before you lose your channel's revenue.
