Why Splice?
Because we’re 100% independently owned and run by two co-founders.
Because our mission is vital to us: we work with a global media ecosystem on every possible front in order to build viable media businesses.
Because we have been a profitable, for-profit, consultancy and advisory company since we started Splice in 2015.
Because our combined experience spans about fifty years. We have expertise in journalism, business strategy, media management, product design, program design, interaction design, graphic design, branding, marketing, sales, advertising, communications, training, coaching, mentorship, speaking, and tech.
Because we’re trusted and respected by our clients, partners, and users across the global media ecosystem.
Because we are fortunate enough to have earned the trust and respect of thousands of members of our community around the world.
Because we are driven by our principles around helping you build media viability, which includes delivering value to the people, organisations, and audiences we work with.
Because we walk the talk around inclusivity, diversity, equity where it truly matters. Splice Beta 2023 had 280 people from 57 countries, 54.4% of our attendees were female, and 42.6% male. 48% of our speakers were female and 48% male. Almost 76% of speakers had never presented at Beta.
“Splice is special. The community sees Rishad and Alan as mentors and guides, not just as service providers. Not all heroes wear capes. Some wear Uniqlo.”
