Teshkeel Company Profile
Teshkeel Media Group is a Middle East based company focused on creating, re-engineering and exploiting all forms of children’s media based on or infused with localized culture, beginning with a proprietary superhero concept. Teshkeel’s mandate is to mine local culture for themes that will resonate with our staple segments. Our core focus is to maintain international industry standards that produce a rewarding and entertaining experience for a younger audience. In short-we are in the field of localizable edutainment. Teshkeel plans to cultivate and harvest those themes intrinsic in our regional culture that will speak equally to children both in and outside of the Middle East. Drawing upon our own history, culture and traditions, we aim to provide positive and inspirational images for children by creating properties that they can relate to. The Company’s intent is to create a strong brand through the reinforcement of our main characters and to then delve into the many lucrative opportunities that present themselves through this. To achieve our objective, Teshkeel Media Group functions as a licensing company on a global scale. Not only are Teshkeel’s original concepts licensable, we are in the process of adding to our arsenal of properties pending negotiations to acquire the rights to rethink others’ intellectual properties to better suit a localized audience. Teshkeel’s long-term goal remains an unwavering commitment to delivering a unique multi media customer experience to children wherever they are from.News from Teshkeel:
