Profile bio

About Mercy Murugi

I have over 15 years of experience in translating thoughts, ideas, concepts; you name it; from their raw form into effective communication material that has been consumed not only across age groups but across international borders too. I have made human-interest films that have won local and international awards and represented Kenya as one of her key film producers in film festivals. I have been a communications and content enthusiast all professional life, and the pressure that comes with it makes me flourish.I’ve built my career in a variety of roles and industries, where I was not just a Producer, but also a gatekeeper, technology whiz, bookkeeper, fundraiser, instructor, communications, and marketing guru. I’m not only used to wearing many hats, I sincerely enjoy it; I thrive in an environment where no two workdays are exactly the same.

Listed skills include Film, Video Production, Video, Television, and 21 others.
