Targeting specific audiance and placing your ads on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Google Podcasts...!

Background
Lost Culture is a podcast series that unpacks the growing phenomenon of new pop-culture and its impact on the South African music history. The show will be hosted by Ntsiki Mzwayi, South African poet, beading artist, and musician. She makes traditional, hip-hop, reggae, house, and Afro-soul music. Each episode of the Lost Culture will focus on different musicians and artists involved in the Kwaito music genre.

Since mid 2000s, the new pop-culture music  such as Kasi-Pap, Gqom and Amapiano have emerged taking over spaces which where previously dominated by Kwaito music, starting from production, audiances, sponsors, trends, bookings and lable signings. Many critics even suggested that Kwaito music was less competitive as compared to Amapiano and Gqom music. This sparked many debates on social media to a point where kwaito was declared a dead music genre.

The purpose of the Podcast is to promote Kwaito Zone brand and create awareness on the impact of pop-culture towards Kwaito music genre.

Goals
Our goal is to position our brand as the face of kwaito music, to attract more followers including musicians, artists and writters.

Project
The show will invite guests including artist, musicians and writers to find out the challenges that comes with pop-culture and what mechanism available for Kwaito to adapt and stay relevant? The show focus on discussions including cultural identity, pop-culture, kwaito, artists, production, audiances, sponsors, bookings, trends and lable signings. Each episode of the Podcast aims to make viewers aware of what "makes or breaks" a cultural identity, with reference to Kwaito.
