DO YOU THINK WE WILL PERFORM ?
A challenging initiative which requires a strong planning/mobilisation personnel as to engage the target stakeholders throughout East Africa.
Again, this is a very good platform for showcasing and sample marketing our products and services at regional and international level, let alone our narrow local markets yet we have some reasonable products. It will also be an eye-opener for marketing QUALITY Products.
It is fantastic because we are having room for exposure and showcasing in the East African market thanks to Bayimba cultural foundation for up lifting ugandan arts
I think DoaDoa is a great opportunity to a STOP Thinking and Targeting within the same box ! Hence, helping our Ugandan Artists and EastAfrica as a whole broadening the way how they perceive music and arts in the industry. I believe we have amazing Musicians and Arts, all we need is a way how to scale it up…. And more so, the networking will help a lot in sharing and learning new skills bothon the local and international scale. Seriously this helps us to Understand Who We Are
). Bst thanks to Bayimba Cultural Foundation.
