Your World of Fandom

Kenya's pop culture company, since 2011.

Movie Jabber builds sponsor-ready fandom experiences across anime, cosplay, gaming, K-pop, comics, and community media from Nairobi.

The Company

Movie Jabber Limited is a Kenyan media and events company connecting brands, partners, and rights holders with the country's pop culture audiences. Founded by Jotham Micah in 2011, it now operates across conventions, gaming, cosplay, K-pop, and community media from a base on Ngong Road.

What started as small online coverage grew into a consistent fandom operator with repeatable event formats, paid memberships, ticketed activations, sponsorship inventory, and brand collaborations that put Kenyan creators in the room with global IP.
