The media arm offshoot is the parent company’s first start-up investment since 2016. “Although we launched offering graphic design and branding services, Gebeya Media is currently developing its animation studio with plans to release its first animated series in early 2020,” said Gebeya Media Co-founder and Multimedia Manager, Bereket Taffese.
