he beauty of the business of marketing is always in a storm of disruption & opportunity. The Highway Marketer is definitive source for new product, technology and services in the market. We help businesses by delivering what they need to win in today’s fast-changing industry – on our digital and print platforms, in The Highway Marketer advert magazine. Our mission is to engage, inspire and inform with great graphical and pictorial presentations that makes sense of disruption and change. Our key audience is currently geographically limited to the Thika Road corridor and both end terminals at Nairobi and Thika. These are the areas we currently circulating in print but with plans to expand. The Highway Marketer is also circulated in electronic format (eMagazine) through our mailing list and cross breed of Social Media Platforms. Did you know that advertising campaigns combining printed media with internet advertising achieve up to a 25% higher response rate than an internet-only campaign? The span of both print and web can draw on the strengths of both. One of the basic axioms of print marketing is that it takes multiple impressions on target buyers to induce them to make a purchase. The more varied these touchpoints, the greater the impression and motivation to favorable action. A strategic combination of print and digital communication can maximize the impact of your message because print offers benefits that digital doesn’t, and that digital combined with print advertising is more powerful than digital alone. A strategic use of print media can most effectively and efficiently increases your sales, revenue and profits.

Kefa OLIVER Audio Production When it comes time to record in a professional recording studio, you want to be sure you make the right choice. There are practical sides and there are emotional sides to the equation. Here are four things to consider when shopping for a recording studio: The people: Get to know the people behind the studio – the owners and the staff. If there are areas where you are incompatible, ask yourself if it will be a roadblock or helpful in bringing a different perspective to the recording process. The facility: There are two sides to deciding if the facility is a good fit – the practical and the inspirational. Ask yourself practical questions like: is the live room big enough for the band? On the inspirational side, ask questions like: do I like the way the rooms sound? Will I be comfortable performing here? The equipment: You certainly want to assess studio equipment to determine whether it fits your wants and needs. Do they have high-quality professional recording equipment that will produce good results? The rates: Obviously, money is an important consideration.
Keep in mind, the cheapest rates don’t always mean the worst quality, and the highest rates don’t guarantee the best results. Take a tour Now that you’re armed with the right questions to evaluate a recording studio, what’s next? Call the studio and take a tour.
Lino O. Video Production Here are some of the top things you should do while choosing a video production company if you are serious about filming a quality video for your Music. 1. View Their Portfolio Testimonials from previous clients or a client list detailing other customers that they have worked with are also helpful. 2. Know How Your Project Will be Managed It is crucial you hire a production company that can handle every aspect of the production process. 3. Get a Quote Price is not always the best indicator of quality. Sometimes you’ll find that a company that charges less offers a higher quality product than their more expensive competitors. 4. Other Considerations As you continue your search for the right company, here are some other considerations to keep in mind: Consider the production team. Are they experienced industry professionals? What is their process?
Understand how the production process will play out from start to finish. How will they get the final okay on decisions? What role will you play in the process? Making sure your voice is heard is crucial. Check the lines of communication.
Jeniah SYOMBUA Musician were unbeatable! We began tracking a couple weeks later. We all felt very comfortable getting the best take possible. Not only does Kefa’s recording experience make for a great final product, but his experience as a musician is great toohe makes suggestions that definitely improve the sound of your music. We finally feel like we have recordings that make us sound how we are supposed to sound. The video shoot and editing was awesome. After recording at a much more expensive, industry-leading studio across town and only being semi-satisfied with the results, I decided to try NeoTrack Records. Kefa quickly arranged a time for me to come by the studio for a tour. I was immediately sold on the great setup and top-notch equipment, as well as David’s helpfulness. Booking time was a breeze, and the rates
