Picasso Productions LTD is a one stop corporate communications company offering services in Public Relations consultancy, video, film and print production, TV news agency and publishing . We are based at the International Press Center, Chester House, Nairobi.

During the last eight years of our operations we have provided world class corporate communication solutions to a diverse range of clients across Africa. Our corporate communications services are highly sought after by both national and multinational corporations in Kenya in particular and Africa in general. For example, our public relations division now services some of the top multinational companies operating in Africa .

During the last eight years, Picasso Productions has established itself as an innovative, dynamic and quality-conscious production house. We use Avid, the latest television editing facilities used by such broadcasters like BBC and CNN.

We have undertaken numerous projects across Africa, ranging from breaking news and Television stories for both local and international broadcast networks. We have pioneered science communication in Africa and we currently undertake communication projects in Africa in such areas like Agriculture, Health and Environment.

We have also produced specialized Television features for transmission locally and internationally, and undertaken corporate video productions that have been shown globally.

Today, we are the only production house that sources, originates and produces complete story packages for REUTERS “Africa Journal”. Last year, in collaboration with the Union of Radio and TV Networks in Africa, we co-produced three half hour TV documentaries for the Organization of Africa Unity (OAU). The documentaries dubbed “Africa’s Century” chronicles the continent’s struggle for de-colonization, fight against hunger, poverty and disease and the dream of an African Union as enshrined in the new African Union Charter. During the last four weeks TV Africa has been transmitting across Africa our documentary series dubbed the Seeds of Hope which looks at efforts by African scientists to revolutionise the continent’s agriculture and improve food security.

Currently, we are co-producing a one-hour documentary on biotechnology and agriculture, in general and genetic engineering, in particular, with specific reference to Africa.

On the publishing front, Picasso Productions currently publishes the only Pan African Newspaper called Biosafety News which looks at Agricultural developments in Africa including the ongoing biotechnology revolution. It also focuses on health and environment issues and is currently regarded as an authority on Biosafety issues in the continent.
