@watchman I think we all know the two other companies... Safaricom and the media company behind the niko na safaricom ad (which by the way for all intents and purposes is a GREEEEAT ad, quantas or no quantas) is Redsky. E&OE.

@Areba. You know i agree with you. @David. Whilst i agree with you pointing out these companies, i believe since we are a tech comm. And i would like to hope we are a transparent tech comm. You should not be afraid to name them. You say a certain Royal Media Company, I say The Royal Media Group. You mentioned Queen bee and the third was an advertising firm.
I don't know about others but being partially involved in the Design / Media field i am grateful that you have brought about this topic. I would like the name of the third company if you are comfortable divulging this information. If not, Off-List it and i'll mention their name here as well as on Social networks to ensure that the Designers and Creatives i work with are aware of the predicament they may be coming close in to.
Let us / me know so that we are open and clear about this.
Best,
Watchman.

I had a very interesting encounter with individuals involved in the advertising, music and entertainment industry and I came out with a very stern warning. Never ever share your ideas with any of the following companies: -
A Certain Royal Media company - There are numerous incidents where people have gone to them to present their original program ideas, they are told to wait for management to decision,only for them to see their programs running under different names such examples wedding show, Nairobi Law etc to mention afew.
Queen Bee -Need I say more?
A listed Advertising Company - Close associates of Queen Bee, and The Media Company they command so much clout that they feel indestructible. They also did the Safaricom AD and yes the brief was done with a copy of the Quantas AD.
This warning also includes sharing the same ideas with employees of the companies, and their families. Basically, they ask is Utado? consider yourself warned.
