STRATEGIC VISION
MCC envisions becoming a catalyst for transformation and growth in the African media landscape, creating an integrated network of intellectual and physical assets that foster innovation, cultural expression, and financial robustness.
The challenge
The South African media industry faces a critical challenge in effectively managing the intellectual property (IP) of locally produced content, spanning TV, documentaries, dramas, literature, and music.
The Challenge
The South African media industry faces a critical challenge in effectively managing the intellectual property (IP) of locally produced content, spanning TV, documentaries, dramas, literature, and music. Currently, there is a notable absence of a dedicated catalogue company within South Africa, leading to missed opportunities for creators, producers, talent, and funders to capitalize on the lifetime value of their productions. This gap hinders the strategic licensing of content for streaming, re-broadcasting, or adaptation into different formats, limiting the financial benefits that could be derived from these creative works.
OUR SOLUTION
In response to this challenge, the Media Catalogue Corporation (MCC), presents a transformative solution.

The MCC Fund hosted on the eQvest Crowdfunding platform, aims to create a centralized hub for managing and monetizing South African-produced content. This platform empowers creators, producers, talent, and funders by allowing them to actively participate in the financial success and longevity of their productions. Through strategic licensing, content can be efficiently distributed to streaming platforms, rebroadcasted, or adapted into new forms, ensuring a continuous revenue stream for stakeholders.
The Media Catalogue company not only addresses the immediate problem of IP management but also democratizes the industry by inviting participation from the public. Individuals who have enjoyed these productions can now become investors, contributing to the financial success of the content they love. The royalties generated from extending the reach and shelf-life of these productions will be reinvested in developing and supporting emerging South African talent, fostering industry transformation. This model opens up the traditionally closed entertainment industry, providing a new avenue for all stakeholders, from industry players to consumers, to invest in the future of South African media while enjoying the outcomes of their investments from the comfort of their own homes.
