This marketing plan outlines a strategic roadmap for establishing and scaling a premier photography business in Nairobi, Kenya. As the capital city of Kenya and Africa's tech hub, Nairobi presents unprecedented opportunities for visual storytelling through professional photography services. Our goal is to position our Photographer brand as the undisputed leader in commercial, wedding, and lifestyle photography within Kenya's dynamic urban landscape. By leveraging Nairobi's cultural vibrancy and digital growth, we project 30% market penetration in our target segments within 24 months while achieving consistent monthly revenue of KES 850,000.

Nairobi's photography market is experiencing exponential growth driven by Kenya's booming creative industry, rising middle class, and digital transformation. With over 4.7 million residents and a tourism sector contributing KES 65 billion annually to Kenya's economy, demand for professional photography services is at an all-time high. Key insights include:
