What is Media outsourcing?
What is Media Production Outsourcing? Media production outsourcing involves delegating video editing, graphic design, podcast production, audio transcription, and content formatting to specialist creative teams outside your newsroom or production office. Treba provides trained media professionals in Nairobi who work inside your Adobe Creative Cloud, DaVinci Resolve, and CMS platforms via secure access.
Why Treba.
The problem.
Why UK media & publishing companies struggle with outsourcing. Media companies are producing more content across more channels with the same (or shrinking) production budgets. A London video editor costs £35,000+. A graphic designer is similar. Podcast production, transcription, and social media management add further headcount pressure. Freelancers solve the capacity problem but create IP risk and inconsistency. Agencies charge £80–£120 per hour for work that trained production staff can handle at a fraction of the cost. The gap between content demand and production capacity is where margin dies — and where most publishers quietly fall behind their schedules.
Right for you if:
You're producing content across 4+ channels and your production team is a constant bottleneck.
You need editors and designers who can match your brand guide without months of onboarding.
You want agency-quality creative output at a fraction of London freelancer or agency rates.
