Insignia Productions

Film and TV production out of Nairobi

This Nairobi production house has been making video since 2007, for clients at home in Kenya and overseas, from large brands to individuals. It calls itself a full-service company and says it collected several awards, at home and abroad, between 2010 and 2016. Its team is made up of producers, directors, camera operators, editors and colorists, and it owns high-end camera, lighting and grip equipment.

Commercials and corporate film

The company makes television commercials for local and international channels, working from the first idea through to the finished spot. For businesses it handles corporate video from script development to filming, graphics and post-production, and its range also includes promos, animation, event films and documentaries. It describes the aim as telling each client's story, whether the idea is large or small.

Series, documentaries and unit work

The company has produced television series in Kenya for streaming platforms such as Netflix and Showmax, and its site lists a Kenya unit production for an international series. Documentary and series work sits beside shoots for visiting crews, including projects for international news and broadcast organizations and brand photoshoots.

Fixer services and equipment hire

For outside productions filming in Kenya, it offers fixer services: permits, locations, crew and logistics. It also hires out camera, lighting and grip kit to other film crews at every stage of production.

Creative agency work

Beyond production, the company describes itself as a creative agency that turns ideas into campaigns through strategy, storytelling and design, with content across film, digital and social channels. Its site shows work for airlines, banks, insurers, a telecoms handset maker and children's television, among others. The common thread, in its words, is bold, high-impact content with strong storytelling and the production standards of international crews, whether the end audience is local viewers or a global one.
