    Film & Video Production

    Obscura brings decades of global experience to film production. We create bold, cinematic films – from documentaries and educational videos to TV commercials and social media clips. Every frame is crafted to resonate with your audience. We deliver stories that cross borders and inspire action.

    Photography

    A picture is worth a thousand words, and our photographs speak volumes. Our work has been published worldwide, known for capturing striking moments with clarity and emotion. From remote mountaintops at dawn to bustling city streets, we find the angle that moves and informs. We are also pioneers in aerial photography in the region – our licensed drone pilots capture breathtaking aerial views, giving your projects a dynamic, elevated perspective. Whether on land or from the sky, we deliver images that captivate your audience.

    Graphic Design & Publishing

    Great design amplifies your message. Obscura’s award-winning design team blends bold creativity with technical precision. We design everything from books, reports, and magazines to infographics, billboards, and exhibition displays. Need a project logo or full brand identity? We’ve got you covered. With deep roots in print publishing and an eye on modern trends, we ensure every design stands out and communicates clearly.

    Websites & Digital Platforms

    In today’s digital world, your website is often the front door to your story. We design and develop visually stunning, user-friendly websites tailored to your audience. Our web projects range from sleek corporate sites to immersive virtual museums with 360° interactive elements. Beyond just looks, we optimize for performance and SEO, ensuring your site not only looks great but also gets found. Whether you need a simple informational site or a complex digital archive, we build platforms that engage, inform, and inspire visitors.

    Mobile Apps & Interactive Media

    Have an idea for an app to engage your community or share content in an innovative way? We develop intuitive, content-rich mobile applications that put information at users’ fingertips. From educational apps to tourism guides, we specialize in making digital experiences that are both interactive and memorable. For example, we created a tourism app for the UNESCO site of Umm al-Jimal in Jordan, allowing visitors to explore rich history through their phones – even offline. We love leveraging technology to bring stories to life in new ways.

    Exhibit Design

    Our expertise isn’t confined to screens and pages – we also create physical exhibits that immerse audiences in story and history. Whether it’s designing a museum gallery or a traveling exhibition, we handle everything from research and curation to interactive displays. We’ve developed exhibits in the US, Kenya, and the Middle East, such as the Asian African Heritage Hall in Nairobi and the Umm al-Jimal site museum in Jordan. The result? Engaging spaces that educate and inspire visitors, making history accessible to all.

    Animation & Illustration

    When reality isn’t enough, we turn to imagination. Our illustrators and animators create vivid graphics and animations to explain complex ideas or tell stories that live-action can’t. Animation is ideal for reaching younger audiences, visualizing abstract concepts, or adding a creative flair to your messaging. We produce everything from informative motion graphics to character-driven animations – always with a focus on clarity, creativity, and impact. If you can envision it, we can animate it.

    Strategic Communications & PR

    A brilliant story needs the right strategy to reach the world. We provide strategic communications consulting to help craft your narrative, target your audience, and deliver your message effectively. Our services include public relations campaigns, media outreach, and crisis communication. Drawing on strong relationships with media outlets (from Kenyan news houses to BBC and CNN), we get our clients’ stories in front of those who matter. From writing press releases and op-eds to organizing press trips, we make sure your voice is heard loud and clear, with credibility and impact.

    Campaigns & Advocacy

    Need to rally the public or influence policy? We design integrated campaigns that raise awareness, shift perceptions, and spur action. Whether it’s a public health awareness push, an environmental conservation campaign, or a political advocacy effort, Obscura knows how to craft messages and media that move people. We’ve managed winning political campaigns – from gubernatorial races to parliamentary contests – with end-to-end services including messaging, digital media, voter engagement, and rapid-response communications. That same expertise translates to issue advocacy: we know how to tap into what motivates audiences and how to sustain momentum for a cause.

    Training & Capacity Building

    We believe in empowering others to tell their own stories. That’s why we offer tailored communications training programs for NGOs, community organizations, and educational institutions. Our workshops cover skills like effective storytelling, media engagement, photography and video basics, and social media strategy. We’ve led trainings at high levels – including sessions at African Union Summits – as well as local workshops for youth and community leaders. The goal is to build your in-house capacity, so your team can confidently carry forward the communications work.
