Brigitta Bihari Leti Arts is a digital media company that has deployed interactive content including video games, comics, print, and online media for advocacy projects across Africa in fields of Health (Malaria, HIV, disability – Cerebral Palsy, etc), Civic rights (Elections), Environment and Sanitation, Finance, African heritage, etc. The company’s vision is to shape a new generation of uniquely African content by creating engaging comics and games – such as The True Ananse and Africa’s Legends – that pay homage to the continent’s greatest legends.
Their portfolio borrows from fables told by the Zulu, Massai, Ashanti, and more to craft new tales appealing to a modern audience.
Using exciting, interactive, mobile-driven mediums, Leti Arts’ digital contents reignite the imaginations of children and adults alike. All digital content can be accessed through the Afrocomix app: a keystone in Leti Arts’ vision to revolutionize the way mobile content is shared and consumed in Africa. Distributed via Android, ComiXology, Amazon’s digital comic subsidiary, Afrocomix users can purchase, download, read, watch and enjoy new African comics, animation, books, wallpapers, and games for years to come.

Leti Arts made educational games and apps geared towards effecting behavior change as part of educational purposes and advocacy campaigns e.g. showing good measures to prevent malaria, cholera, ebola, and the likes. In such campaigns, analytics is key. Tracking user decisions and measuring if all measures and policies are working perfectly as planned. This data is a great tool for organizations to make key decisions especially on how effective initiatives are thus Leti Arts has embarked on gamification partnerships with companies, educational institutions, and NGOs in Ghana, Kenya, and globally including Jhpiego, UNDP, MTN, and many more building serious games that address Malaria, HIV, Civic Engagement and the likes.
