Branding
Strategy, identity and the guidelines that keep a brand consistent long after launch day.
Dar es Salaam, Tanzania · Marketing and communications
Branding, campaigns, advertising, print, software and security, from one studio.
Shasai Studio is a marketing and communications studio located in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, specialising in branding, campaigns, advertising, print production, software development and cyber security. We connect strategy, creative communication, production and software, and test what goes live, so a brand, a campaign and the systems that carry them are built, checked and kept by one studio.
Located in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.
What we do
Six service lines, one team.
Strategy, creative, production and software sit together here, so nothing is lost in the handover between them.
Campaigns
One plan across every channel, and the production to deliver it.
Advertising
Paid reach across digital, social and outdoor, produced by the team that plans it.
Print production
Corporate printing, branded merchandise and large format, specified and delivered.
Software development
Websites, web and mobile applications, and the hosting and support that keeps them running.
Cyber security
Assessment, testing and hardening, under a scope and rules of engagement agreed before anything is touched.
How we work
Strategy, communication, production — and the part after launch.
We connect strategy, creative communication, production and software, and test what goes live, so a brand, a campaign and the systems that carry them are built, checked and kept by one studio.
- 01
Strategy first
We agree what the work has to achieve before anything is designed, so the result can be judged against something other than taste.
- 02
Creative communication
Message and design built together, then adapted for each place it will appear rather than resized to fit.
- 03
Production
Printing, merchandise and large format handled by the same studio, so what was approved is what actually arrives.
- 04
Built and kept
Websites, applications and the security around them, built by the studio that designed them, then updated and answerable once they are live.
Private by default
We do not publish client work.
No client name, no logo, no project story and no photograph taken inside a client's business — here or anywhere else. What can be described is how an engagement runs and what is agreed before it starts.
No client is named
No client name, no logo, no project title and no photograph taken inside a client's business appears anywhere on this site. Work is shown in a meeting or on a call, where the client can hear exactly what is being said about them, rather than on a page they did not write and cannot edit.
What you tell us stays here
Budgets, timelines, supplier names, audience data, and what the systems looked like before anybody agreed to change them. None of it is published, and none of it is discussed outside the people working on your project.
Confidentiality comes before the brief
If you would rather not describe the project before an agreement is in place, we sign a mutual non-disclosure agreement first — yours or ours. Being asked for one is not treated as a difficult client; it is treated as a business that has thought about it.
Insights
Answers before you hire anyone.
