UNESCO: Production of Short Video Adverts for O3 Plus Mobile Applications
Introduction
Welcome to Hugly Studio, a team of seasoned Creative Designers, Product Designers, and Project Managers with over a decade of industry experience. With a proven track record of delivering value to industry-leading clients and reaching over 100 million users across Africa, as well as expanding our reach into Australia and the Americas, we are dedicated to designing world-class products and brands that resonate with audiences worldwide.
The UNESCO O3 PLUS project aims to ensure that young people in higher and tertiary education institutions realize positive health, education, and gender equality outcomes. With support from the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) and other partners, the project has expanded to multiple countries in the Eastern and Southern Africa (ESA) region, including Zambia, Zimbabwe, Namibia, and others. As part of this initiative, UNESCO is seeking to develop promotional videos for the O3 PLUS mobile apps, aimed at empowering young people with access to sexual reproductive health and rights (SRHR) information and services.
