In the ever-evolving landscape of media development, projects often conclude with the end of their funding and implementation period. However, some elements of these initiatives take on a life of their own, continuing to thrive and make a lasting impact. One of the most prominent examples is @journalift, a digital platform born out of the ‘Media for All’ programme, the first to offer media development support in local languages in the Western Balkans, and one that continues to thrive independently today.

Cultural Relevance in Advertising: 🌍✨ In a world as diverse as ours, it's crucial to understand that one size doesn't fit all, especially when it comes to advertising. 🌎 Africa, a continent teeming with a rich tapestry of cultures, languages, and traditions, exemplifies this diversity. 🌍🗣️🎉 Successful ads in Africa speak the languages of its many cultures, resonating with their unique values and beliefs. 🤝🌟 When advertisers take the time to embrace local customs, traditions, and heritage, they forge genuine connections, building trust and loyalty. 🌾🤝🌟 Remember, cultural relevance isn't merely a choice; it's a strategic imperative in Africa's dynamic and multifaceted markets. 🌐💼 Is your brand speaking the language of Africa's vibrant and diverse audience? 🌍🤔 #CulturalRelevance #AdvertisingWisdom #AfricaAdverts
