Pour les praticiens et les organisations culturels et créatifs opérant en Afrique australe, l’accès au financement reste un défi majeur. La pandémie de COVID-19 a également eu un impact massif sur les politiques gouvernementales, les dépenses et l’économie en général, et a vu les dépenses consacrées à la culture reléguées plus bas dans la liste des priorités. De plus, les industries culturelles et créatives citent régulièrement quatre domaines principaux où l’investissement est nécessaire pour la croissance : une visibilité accrue, la mobilité incluant l’accès à de nouveaux marchés, le financement et les structures de soutien.

Instrument Building And Repair Project
Instrument Building And Repair Project

The overarching objective of Music In Africa Foundation’s Instrument Building and Repair (IBR) project is to encourage the formalisation and professionalisation of instrument-making and repair in Africa, especially in relation to indigenous African instruments. Background In 2014, the Music In Africa Foundation (MIAF) identified as one of its focus areas for development the need to encourage young people from music and music-related sectors to consider instrument-making as a career. This need extended itself from the recognition that the making of traditional African instruments is not a widely practiced skill and seems to be limited to the older generation. Traditional African instrument makers are also few and far between, making communication and logistics between teachers and learners an obstacle. When instrument building workshops take place, budgetary constraints do not allow teachers or learners the time to explore the finer details of an instrument. Based on these observations, the MIAF designed and piloted the first IBR workshop at the Dhow Countries Music Academy (DCMA) in Zanzibar in February 2015. In 2016, the foundation received funding from the South African National Lotteries Commission to implement a much bigger version of the project in Johannesburg. The project drew participants from five African countries. 25 students from South Africa, Ghana, Senegal, Kenya and Ethiopia were trained on how to build and repair musical instruments. The instruments that they made were: Traditional Instruments: Umakhweyana and Marimba Conventional Instrument: Dulcimer guitar The workshop culminated in a traditional instruments concert at the Wits Theatre in Johannesburg. It is the MIAF’s aim to roll out similar workshops in as many African countries as possible over the next few years. Objectives Developing awareness of musical instrument makers in Africa with a view to promote their work to a wider global audience. Facilitating the sharing and transfer of skills in indigenous instruments between countries on the continent. Encouraging the formalisation and professionalisation of instrument-making and repair in Africa, especially in relation to indigenous instruments. Helping instrument makers develop their careers. Fostering the rapid monetisation and sustainable development of instrument-making and repair in Africa. Promoting constant exchange of ideas, expertise, experiences and know-how among instrument makers in Africa. Facilitating the identification of existing gaps in the field with a view to contribute new solutions. Facilitating the transfer of knowledge and skills of indigenous instruments between younger and older generations. 2020 edition The MIAF has also announced that multi-instrumentalist and instrument maker Joe Makhanza will facilitate one of the workshops on the building of the kamale ngoni instrument. Kamale ngoni is a kora-like, stringed instrument that originated in West Africa. The instrument contributed to the rise of Wassoulou music in the 1970s and 1990s. Makhanza was born in Giyani in South Africa's Limpopo province. He completed a bachelor of music degree and a post-graduate diploma in arts marketing from Wits University. He is currently completing his masters in ethnomusicology and is a part-time lecturer in African music studies at Rhodes University. He plays the kora, mbira, valiha, masenqo, xiwewe, ngoni ba and xizambi, among others. He also manufactures the aforementioned instruments. The MIAF will confirm more trainers who will join the workshops as well as the other instruments that will be featured in the 2020 IBR programme.  Apply to participate here. Connect with us on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook, and subscribe to our monthly newsletter. The Music In Africa Instrument Building and Repair project is funded by the National Lotteries Commission. It is implemented in partnership with Siemens Stiftung, Goethe-Institut, Wits Theatre and Kaya FM.

Branding and Public Relations: Strategy and Brand Campaigns

 

Although "branding" a product is focused on promoting a particular term or symbol or label, PR (PR) specialists see their role as making a pitch for something using advertising and marketing efforts. In reality, the globally well-known "Coca-Cola" brand owes part of its popularity to a ferocious public relations campaign, which has created a perception of drinking Coke like baseball, and apple pie as well as other American "brands." There is a perception that good branding, when combined with excellent PR could result in increased sales and trust in a company or product.PR Agencies in Delhi can help get your brand in the focus of focus. Bring your brand to the forefront and ensure that you are always distinguished from your competitors by employing an experienced professional

 

IMPORTANCE OF BRANDING

 

Many people believe that branding is a secondary consideration or unimportant, and completely irrelevant to the larger marketing plan. They are incorrect. In a way, they are clearly wrong in both the core and the context of their thoughts regarding the issue. Although it's certainly true that the significance of branding is often overstated and it's, in fact not the only key measure of success in branding - the basic reality is that a lot of marketers do not put enough time, effort, and resources into their branding.

 

This is particularly relevant for smaller or medium-sized companies who frequently feel that they don't have the time, money, or resources to develop and establish their own brand name in the marketplace. It's an untrue belief. In reality, successful branding can be adapted to help any company's budget, regardless of size. It's important, as branding can help set any company above the rest regardless of whether it's one of the few antique shops on a small town main road or an enormous home improvement warehouse with branches across several countries.

 

Branding Defines Value

 

Repeat this as a mantra Write it down It is important to remember that logos are not brands and logos aren't brand names. Logos are pictures that convey the significance of the brand. This is where the motives people purchase is based. The feeling, the connection, and the value that is perceived. This is what brands are. It's the way a consumer thinks and experiences when they view an item, and the reason they pick that product rather than the one right next to it on the shelves. They're paying for the experience, a feeling that is meaningful to them.

Branding Communicates a Clear Message

 

If a person is exposed to an advertisement What do they think of and feel? They might not realize that they are being influenced by the messages that are affecting their emotions and minds. Actually, these messages are much more vivid in their minds than what the product does in reality. For instance, What Bounty Paper Towels? Sure. Also, it's known as the "quicker picker-upper." It's "faster and better" in the minds of each and every dedicated Bounty customer.

 

Branding Elicits Emotion Connection

 

Effective branding campaigns must build and sustain emotional bonds with customers. Since people react better and more frequently when they feel a connection to the brand's message. It is a matter of earning loyalty, and branding is a great way to earn this loyalty.

 

Branding Sets Expectations

 

If consumers decide to be enticed by a brand's promise it is usually due to expectations and these expectations have been fulfilled or exceeded by the business. If the brand can achieve this regularly enough, the brand becomes synonymous with the provided value. It will be the same as the goal in the minds of the customer. Reread that sentence. Take a moment to think about the implications of that. How important is it for branding to be something that consumers want to create, experience, or even create? That's the power of branding.

HOW TO CHOOSE A BRAND NAME

 

A brand's name cannot be considered to be excellent if it's just liked. It could be said as good in the event that it sends an idea to a target audience. A name that seems to be awe-inspiring is bound to be used already. It is vital that the name selected to represent the company is examined for its availability within the relevant trademark categories.

 

Each day, there are fewer words that can be used for brand names and this is causing creatives to think of more and more creative solutions. This can be a dangerous venture. There are no arguments against rebranding an established business by giving it the use of a new name that is not familiar since the brand's value that has been constructed over time could be lost in a matter of minutes.

 

It is more beneficial to preserve the name of the brand and reinvigorate its image in these situations. The purpose of the brand's name is to convey its primary concepts and messages effectively and consistently to ensure that every time a customer comes in contact with the brand, they are given the same feeling of what the brand is about. Brand names should be based on long-term relationship management. Here are some ways to develop brand names that benefit a business.

 

1.) Set objectives A brand's name is its extension. Therefore, it is crucial to determine what the company would like the name of the brand to accomplish. You must think creatively about the direction the brand's name needs to take.

 

2.) Define the target customer2) Define the target customer - If a company does not know who they are creating its name for, then it won't be able to come up with an attractive name. It is crucial to define as precisely as possible the traits of a perfect consumer for a brand's goods and services. It is essential not to set a definitive brand name until it has been confirmed that it is appealing to the intended audience and reflect the values of the brand.

 

3.) Create a brand archetype purpose of creating the archetype of a brand is to know what a brand's name will symbolize or mean, which is the primary requirement in choosing the most appropriate brand name to attract prospective customers. A brand archetype represents the personality of a company, along with the products or services it offers. It is essential to give priority to factors such as whether the name can create an emotional connection with potential customers. What are the values that the brand intends to convey? For example, is it looking to bring a sense of luxury to your mind?. The name Dove is a symbol of innocence and purity which is perfect for a bathroom brand. Brand names may be of various varieties. They could be the names of business founders or the services the company provides. They could be acronyms such as KFC or invented words such as Etsy. for more info about Public Relations visit Twenty7 Inc
