The Rebooting Show - Un pódcast de Brian Morrissey - Lunes
On this week’s episode of The Rebooting Show, I spoke to Tomiwa Aladekomo, CEO of Big Cabal, a Nigerian digital media company that’s home to a pair of properties: Tech Cabal, which I describe as similar to TechCrunch but with more memes and Zikoko, a BuzzFeed-like culture publication. https://techcabal.com/2022/03/17/big-cabal-media-techcabal-zikoko-raises-2-3m-digital-products/ (Big Cabal has raised $2.3 million in venture capital) as it builds an independent digital media company in Africa’s largest economy that's geared to shifting consumption patterns. Tomiwa and I discuss how Big Cabal looks to find white spaces in the market, making hard calls when to https://techcabal.com/2023/08/04/big-cabal-media-reduces-workforce/ (pull back on efforts like it recently did with a citizen journalism project), when brands can be pan-African vs market specific, and an on-the ground assessment of the impact of Semafor in its Africa push.
