Artistes need proper management to compete globally – Benny Blanco.
Benny Ashun, Country Director of Africa 1 Media, has called for the creative industry in Ghana to take a broader view of the need for good talent management in order to position local talents as players on the global stage.
“The Ghanaian creative sector is in need of a representation revolution if artists are to come into their full potential”, he said.
“Many artists, whether musicians, fine artists, poets, cartoonists, sculptors etc. fall short of their long term goals because of a lack of decisive management that really complements talent and leads to longevity in their chosen crafts.”
Ashun who is well-recognized as a broadcaster and consummate media professional, now takes on the role of overseeing the operations of Africa 1 Media, a professional services firm known for empowering fresh talent in Africa’s creative and sporting sector through business strategy and legal counsel, in Ghana. With many years’ experience of engaging with Ghana’s creative and media space, he lends his wealth of expertise towards developing up and coming creative talent in Ghana.
Ashun’s comments come at a time when many Ghanaian artists and sporting talents bemoan the apparent glass ceiling within their respective industries due to a lack of management and real strategic guidance.
Talent management is a human resource necessity which prompted a research report on talent strategy from Bersin by Deloitte. The report states that, at least half of organisations at the highest level of effectiveness at business outcomes have an established talent strategy. By contrast, of those organisations rated least effective at business outcomes, between 70% and 80% lack a talent strategy.
Ashun affirms this by stating that, people often fail to think of the arts as credible business ventures.
“Talents in the creative space deserve the same level of strategic and professional guidance being delivered to their peers in the corporate world towards productivity and profitability”, he said.
As the Country Director for Africa 1 Media, Benny Ashun leads a dynamic team that is empowering artists and sports professionals through world-class management services.
Ashun expressed hope that more artists would seek out proper management that is linked to business strategy in order to compete on the world stage.
Africa 1 Media (A1M) represents artists such as Sarkodie, Edem, Bisa Kdei, and Akwaboah amongst others. As part of its initiatives towards empowering the creative sector in Ghana are a series of upcoming thought leadership seminars to support artists in developing themselves into successful brands.

Abena Korkor Attacks Mp (Video)
The Ningo Prampram Member of Parliament, Sam George, has come under fire from socialite Abena Korkor for not fixing the roads in his district.
Korkor posted a video of her community's terribly maintained roads that was shot in Tema Community 25 after recent rains.
She claims that Uber drivers won't come to the neighborhood to give rides because of how terrible the roads are.
She added that, as a result, she must travel in a motor vehicle to do all of her errands. As Korkor hauled local MP Sam George, she did not hold back.
She also had some harsh words to say about Stephanie Karikari, the former Miss Ghana, and former President Mahama, among many others.

“What If The ‘Big Mouth Association” Too Comes Out Angry?” – Shatta Wale Asks Ghana Society Of The Physically Disabled
After making fun of Stonebwoy's disabilities, Ghanaian reggae dancehall musician Shatta Wale has adamantly refused to apologize to the Ghana Society of Physically Disabled (GSPD).
After Wale made fun of Stonebwoy at the just-ended Salafest, the GSPD urged the singer to recant his remarks and issue an apology.
However, Shatta Wale disregarded society's plea in a widely shared video response.
The “On God” hitmaker instead questioned society's reasoning for the demand and railed against it.
The outspoken performer said, “You can't create a problem for me; I am a problem myself.” “Everything we are doing is creating an association and paying dues; there is even an unemployed people's association.”

“Kwaku Manu Is Very Rich And Owns A House In East Legon” – Oboy Siki Reveals
In an interview with Angel FM, well-known Kumawood actor Oboy Siki praised his colleague Kwaku Manu for his public persona despite his affluence.
He said that Manu is someone who worked hard to get his wealth in the entertainment sector and does not show it off in public as some do.
He said that Kwaku Manu, the actor, had constructed an opulent home in East Legon and added that there were other things he had done behind the scenes that were not made public.
“A person such as Kwaku Manu presents himself as impoverished, but in reality, he is not; he just chooses not to show it off. Even if he has a home in East Legon and all, he does not lead an opulent life. I don't give a damn about what he thinks; I'm just telling the truth,” he remarked.
Actor Kwaku Manu, who is highly recognized in the nation, currently hosts a show on which he conducts interviews with celebrities, which he shares on many social media networks.
