"King Paluta Music’s response to his brand’s reputation crisis is a hit-or-miss season.

Speaking purely from a strategic brand management perspective, "King Paluta Music’s response to his brand’s reputation crisis is a hit-or-miss season. Whichever way it ends, the strike would be deep and resounding. As a strategist, I would like to share how the artiste can make the best of this situation. Background During a recent performance in the UK, King Paluta reacted with strong vulgarity to what appeared to be provocation from an event attendee. In all sincerity, it was the worst possible response he could have given, no matter how offensive the trigger might have been. But that said, King Paluta is no joke of a brand. His rise over the past four years has been steady, culminating in a near win for Artiste of the Year at the recent Vodafone Ghana Music Awards. He has consistently served his followers and the Ghanaian music community with dynamic, compelling sounds—and by all accounts, has been successful with nearly every turn he’s taken. The Crisis Since late June, the Gh...

-
Image
"Can’t Sleep” is an Afrofusion medley a carefully crafted blend of captivating sounds and raw emotion, specifically designed for the  p erpetually overthinking mind. It’s a sonic exploration of the restless nights and racing thoughts that often accompany a driven spirit. The song truly embodies the unwavering drive, the relentless push, and the sheer determination that  characterizes individuals  who are deeply ambitious and constantly striving, working tirelessly to achieve their loftiest goals, even when it necessitates sacrificing precious hours of sleep and rest.

A Society That Glorifies Wealth Over Wisdom – Enock Agyepong Writes

-
Image
In a society where wealth is worshipped over education, you’ll only end up with more criminals than scholars. We now live in a system where the rich cannot be corrected—no matter how misguided their actions—because a hungry population has elevated money to the level of deity. In such a climate, even the most sensible advice falls on deaf ears if the listener is wealthy. Solomon prayed for wisdom not riches and yet received both. But in today’s Ghana, many would ask for money first and forget wisdom entirely. Even in many churches today, individuals are elevated to positions of leadership not because of godliness, but based on the size of their offering. “It doesn’t matter what they do for a living as long as the money flows, so do the titles. Our society quickly rallies around anyone with money no questions asked. You’ll be there, and suddenly NAM1 surfaces, and people rush toward him hoping to grab some coins only to be left disappointed. Then comes a Cheddar, with bodyguards roughing...

Hypocritical Industry Players - Enock Agyepong writes

When Bimbo from Nigeria complained about her new movie being shown by Ghanaian TV channels without her permission, Ola Michael who is part of this government told us that she was just doing publicity for her movie whiles the National Communications Authority Minister and National Film Authority Secretary were seriously trying to find a solution to the complaint. Now when the same Ghanaian TV showed Tyler Perry's new movie "STRAW" without permission the same Ola Michael is here telling Mahama to give him power to head the classification committee and he'll use 2months to solve this illegality. All of a sudden Ola now sees the illegality in the Act? Do you think Ola Michael should be given that position? In terms of competence I'll say yes but looking at both scenarios I expected him to act as a professional rather than excuse me to say just a pundit speaking his mind especially when he himself is a Movie Producer. I'll prefer a BullGod to lead that Charge espec...

Last Night, Despite opened a Car Museum in Accra with all the glamour of pre adverts, announcements and social media promo. Indeed it was a well planned event for the records as the list of guest of Honour included politicians, business moguls and socialites. Cars mesuems generally are the preserve of vehicle manufacturer's to showcase the historical story of how the models developed till the present day. Indeed the story of Diamler, Toyota, Mazda; Chevrolet, GM, Ford, Scudamore, Nissan, Mistubishi, Opel, BMW, VW etc. is awash at their factory museums in their respective countries.   As beautiful as it was, what got me thinking was the business purpose knowing Despite as a business man and not a manufacturer. More importantly, thinking  what model and make of car that the invited dignitaries like Ashantehene, Kuffour, Ibrahim etc. who graced the occasion have not seen aborad, owned, bought and  driven over the years to the level of owning private Jet today or what ne...
