In 2026, media landscapes are rapidly evolving. Live sports and breaking news demand more content, faster turnaround, and seamless delivery across broadcast, OTT, and social platforms, all while budgets and production crews remain constrained. Forward‑thinking organisations are turning to workflow innovation rather than incremental resources to scale their live production capabilities.
At the forefront of this transformation in Nigeria and across Africa is IBST Media, the continent’s leading video production company, providing world‑class live production solutions that deliver quality, speed, and reliability like never before.
Why Workflow Scale Matters in Live Production in 2026
Traditional production models rely heavily on large crews, mobile production trucks, and multiple broadcast assets, often at a high financial and logistical cost. Today’s media environment calls for smarter solutions that:
- Expand coverage without expanding teams
- Enable on‑demand remote production
- Deliver content instantly to TV, mobile, and social audiences
- Reduce operational costs without compromising quality
IBST Media’s approach is built on this new paradigm, leveraging powerful IP workflows and cloud‑native production tools to support clients in maximising their reach and minimising complexity.
