Get involved in the Trumpet dream…

Put your money where your mouth is... An opportunity to fund projects that are dear to you.

“If you want to go fast, go alone; but if you want to go far, go together.”

                                                                                             - (African proverb)

In the beginning

For the last 24 years (since 1995), Trumpet Media Group has been on a mission to provide a voice and platform for Africa and Africans – especially in the Diaspora.

Against the backdrop of unfair and negative stereotypes about Africa and Africans in the United Kingdom (UK), The Trumpet Newspaper took off in January 1995 – to much acclaim, and as a welcome voice for the UK Diaspora African Community.

The journey

Through thick and thin, through ups and downs, and in the face of numerous market opportunities and threats – Trumpet has been resilient and grown into a trusted brand. Trumpet has displayed remarkable and enviable staying power – over 24 years as a UK SME in the tough Media sector!

Our work, media and team have been rewarded with numerous awards and accolades.

We have adapted and innovated within the ever-changing environment and landscape we operate in, which has culminated in Trumpet Media Group – a multi-product company capitalising on the convergence of Print, Electronic, Online and Social Media.

Future growth

Trumpet Media Group is at another phase of its proposed growth and expansion – and expectedly, this requires funding, rewarded sponsorship and investment.

We have identified a number of funding options to achieve our planned growth and expansion, which will be rolled out over the coming months.

Community Involvement

A popular African proverb says that: If you want to go fast, go alone; but if you want to go far, go together. The community we represent has been an important part of our journey and success story – and for this, we are very grateful. In the quest to go not just fast, but further and faster, we are seeking to involve our community and friends even more.

Crowdsourcing is one of the business models, we are looking to use to get our Community involved. There are a number of Crowdsourcing and Crowd-funding success stories out there - a testimony to how communities are driving successful and sustainable businesses.

Our Network is our Net Worth

As Founder and major Stakeholder of Trumpet Media Group over the last 24 years, I have decided to take the lead by presenting a number of opportunities to get involved in the Trumpet dream - to my closed circle and network of family members, friends, associates, well-wishers, and vision-fulfillers.

Over the coming months, a number of specific projects will be unveiled and launched, and there are opportunities to get involved in specific projects.

.

Why Project-themed Crowdsourcing?

  • This will enable us to focus on specific niche projects and maximise the opportunities therein.
  • We are seeking to build an enthusiastic community around the niche projects.
  • It allows Funders and Investors we are crowdsourcing to get involved in projects that are close to their heart or causes.
  • It is easier to set deliverables and determine outcomes for these projects.
  • Funders and Investors do not have to commit funds into the long unforeseeable future before receiving Sponsorship rewards or Investment returns.
