About Us
Who we are and what we do...
Bright Media was formed in 2006, when the founders, left the SABC to develop Bright Media as a specialist South African educational media development and training organisation. Bright Media works with both government and corporate clients and stakeholders in complex projects that require a dedicated multimedia production service of educational and developmental programmes for specific audiences, such as the child audience, or the teacher audience, working with both stakeholders, research and users that educate while using compelling formats at the same time.
Bright Media develops multimedia production projects that focus on making a difference in the lives of users. We focus on educational projects that make a positive difference to the lives of ordinary people. Those most in need are the ones least likely to receive the knowledge, skills and change in life circumstances that can truly change their lives. The projects that we develop and work on, make a difference.
