Professor Jenkins, on Friday, will focus on the art of Transmedia storytelling, best practices, tools and techniques African communicators can use to transform narratives and elevate brands.

He will share his experience as a scholar and an academic known for his concept in transmedia storytelling, coined in 2003, which has become influential not just within academia but also in media arts and advertising/marketing circles and beyond.

“The third edition promises to be the best so far. We are excited about the impact these sessions are already making. We want to raise a new generation of African storytellers who will tell the world about “What is right with Africa.” Beyond this, we are aiming at impacting global brands and influencing the bottom-line of our organizations,” Curator and Founder, Samuel Osei said.
