About us
A Pan-African Global Media and Entertainment Company.
PortableVoices media exists to inform, educate and entertain audiences across the world through journalism, live experiences, publishing and creative production.
Our Story
From a small content studio to a diversified media and entertainment company.
PortableVoices Media began as a small content studio established in 2018 with a simple conviction: African stories deserve to be told strong enough to tell them well, and reach global audience.
What started as one studio — recording podcasts, and building an early audience online — quickly revealed a wider opportunity. Audiences wanted news, live experiences, books, great creative talent and stories built with the same creative standard. Rather than stretch one brand across every need, the group built focused divisions, each with its own leadership, product and market.
Today PortableVoices Media is a diversified media and entertainment company — a group of independent divisions spanning news, live events, advertising, talent management, publishing, and content production — connected by shared standards, shared infrastructure and one long-term vision.
