Over the years, we expanded the business into media and television production, with an in-house gear and outside broadcast unit.

 

In 2012, DarkChild Productions launched its first media platform dubbed “Spaza Media”.  Despite the name, this media platform extends across most independent retail outlets found in townships, CBD’s and suburbs including but not limited to walking wholesalers and cellphone stores.  We have access to over 12,000 stores across South Africa with Gauteng and KZN contributing 52% of the stores

The other 48 % is made of

Eastern Cape _______________________________________13%

Western Cape __________________________________12%

Limpopo ___________________________________ 7%

Free State _____________________________6%

North West ______________________5%

Mpumalanga ______________4%

Northern Cape _______1%

 

Our media platform is estimated to reach 1,4mil people. 
This is on the basis that each store services approximately
35 households at an average household size of  3.4 according
to StatsSA Cencus 2011.

We are also looking to introduce technology to our medium, where people can interact with our advertising using cellphones. This will help create a database of interested consumers for the brand. For more info, click on read more
