What makes selling to media & entertainment institutions difficult?

Kenyan SMEs face specific hurdles when targeting media & entertainment buyers. Fanel was built to solve them.

Media budgets are highly cyclical, spiking during election years and major events, then contracting sharply in off-periods.

Procurement decisions are often made by creative directors who value innovation over cost — traditional sales pitches fall flat.

Long payment terms of 90 days or more are standard in the media industry, requiring vendors to plan cash flow accordingly.
