Celebrating our 4th Anniversary
Celebrating our 4th Anniversary today! Its been an amazing year and we have a a lot of achievements we are proud to be celebrating. This is a brief report on how our 4th year was
Ladies and gentlemen take out your party hats! It is time for Celebration! We are excited to be celebrating and marking our 4th Anniversary!
The Covid-19 Pandemic crippled, damaged and destroyed a lot of businesses but through it all we are still here and we are greatful, thankful and happy to have made it this year! As if the business surviving was not enough, we really had an amazing year and we are celebrating!
Our Achievements within the year
Let the celebrations begin! We have had an amazing year! We decided to be brave and also have faith! We tried a lot of new things, retired old habits and adopted new ones, took risks and we are celebrating because it all worked out in the end!
At the top of this list is the most recent and prestigious achievement!
1) BBC NEWS INTERVIEW!
An interview with BBC NEWS! This is an achievement we celebrate with great prestige and honour! Even today many months later we are still ecstatic about it!
The interview focused on how we are using creativity to fight unemployment in the chaotic environment such as Zimbabwe’s. (If you would like to listen to the Interview, the link is at the bottom of this article!)
2) All the laughs Comedy Awards Nomination
We had the honour of working with Popular Zimbabwean Comedian, Long John the Comedian on a short animated show. That show was nominated for best animated show in the All the laughs comedy awards hosted in the USA!
Though we did not end up winning the overall award, the nomination is our first and is really a big deal for us! (You can read more on this at the bottom of the article as well)
3) Poetry Showdown!
We started 2021 with style! A poetry competition where the winner would walk away with a completely free 3D Animation Video for their poem.
Now this was uncharted territory for us! It was our very first ever competition of this sort and even more scarier, the final for the competition was broadcast live. (This is always scary to do, lol there is always the thought what if no one comes to watch?)
But all those fears and doubts were put to rest! People came to watch in their numbers! The whole competition was fun and amazing! Congratulations once again to The Lioness Taffy for winning the first edition of the showdown.
We will be releasing her poem in November 2021.
Evidently the Poetry showdown was successful so we are planning a bigger and better one for January 2022!
(You can watch the video of the epic final at the bottom of this article)
4) Launching Webscope ZW
The video above best describes what Webscope does, but to summarise it, Webscope Zw is essentially a team dedicated to offering clients with the following services:
- Website design, upgrade & Maintenance
- Social Media Content Generation
- Social Media Marketing
Webscope Zw has its own team that specialises on the above services and the project has been received very well, getting a lot of business and traffic within months of being established!
5) Every business Project!
Kakic Universe has 3 subsidiaries, each responsible for a different section of our business:
- Kakic Universe Entertainment
- Kakic Universe Business
- Webscope Zw
We rely on the Business Side to fund and sustain the business. Every job we get from our clients means a lot to us as it helps put food on the table, fund growth and development!
We are grateful to the many people who trusted us with their projects and we view this as a serious achievement!
How are we celebrating?
A fact is, today, it is easy for us to convince clients to trust us with a job because of the work in our broad portfolio, but this is only possible because of the first few people who were willing to trust us with business when we had nothing to show for it.
It’s easy for people to trust us with their logo design when they see the many logos we designed. It is easy to trust us with Animation adverts when you see the many videos we have done. But all of this is possible now because of the clients who believed in us and trusted us when our portfolio was blank! The money we got from those first few projects we used it to re-invest in the business.
We bought courses to train the team to become better and more skilled, we upgraded our equipment and acquired useful resources.
We are grateful to those people who were willing to trust us when it was risky to do so.
And so Kakic Business will be offering a 60% Discount that is valid for this week only for the following services:
- 3d Animation
- 2d Animation
- Slideshows
Because 4 is the number! You get to pay just 40% which is mainly for the production costs.

We really just want to thank and honour the people who were willing to trust us with their business when we had nothing to show for it!
