MEDIA PROMOTIONS & ADVOCACY

We produce promotional media packages primarily for humanitarian, human rights, and development agencies, musicians and artists, but can also do commercial work. Around the site you’ll find a lot about our frontline music projects, so here we offer some examples on the organizational front. We teamed up Humanitarian Bazaar with Drewstone Productions, met with Adeso African Development (formerly known as Horn Relief, a Somali women’s development organization that grew into a competitive international aid agency), and agreed to help them promote their work through their new brand, Adeso.

Filmmaker Seth Chase and producer/ photographer Daniel J Gerstle traveled to Adeso’s project sites in remote Sanaag and Puntland, Somalia; remote Nyamlel, Western Bahr-el-Ghazal, South Sudan; and Garissa, Kenya. The team took video and photo of staff at work, staff interviews, project participants, and context of the environment. While another agency produced their new website and brand, we worked with editor Lucas Gath to produce three

 promotional videos, as you can see here, which include soundtracks and voice over from global musicians K’naan, Alsarah, and Stephan Said, and delivered about two hundred photos. Travel time was about three weeks. Video editing time was about three months. Costs range. We’ll give discounts to humanitarian agencies and nonprofits. Since we offer so much free support to refugees, musicians, and artists in difficult situations, we like to do contract work like this to help recover costs. If your organization, band, or artwork needs a promotional media package, video, photo, web, graphics, let us know at Humanitarianbazaar@gmail.com.
