Fast growing Ghanaian shipping and freight forwarding company, Bison Imperial Global Shipping and Logistics have announced their resolve to positively impact the entertainment industry.
The firm made this known during a press conference to unveil their investment in the creative space from 2023.
The Company disclosed that in the first quarter of the year, they intended to partner EM Production and Adanfopa Media in France for an Europe Tour (Finest Tour).
“Not limited to Europe, there would be an African tour with some Ghanaian artistes and other people in the creative space in the last quarter of the year” manager said.
Additionally, they indicated that Bison would be launching a non-governmental organisation, Foundation and Social Corporate Responsibility Projects in the second quarter of 2023.
According to them, the third quarter will see a seminar organised by Bison at a University in Ghana and other tertiary institutions and a support for underprivileged schools.
Touching on the decision to venture into the entertainment industry, Henry Raphael Kemausuor, the General Manager of Bison Imperial Global Shipping and Logistics highlighted the role of the arts in socio-economic development.
“We have identified that the entertainment industry can change the ideology of a country. There are so much job creation opportunities in the entertainment sector and the government cannot do it alone . That is the reason why private sector participation is essential in the promotion and investment in the entertainment industry to explore its hidden opportunities,” he noted.
As sponsors of the ‘Finest Tour’ by DJ ABK GH, Isaac Owusu Nyantakyi Brempong, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Bison Imperial Global Shipping and Logistics said DJs are the first point of entertainment from all angels and also entertainment gives them a huge platform for visibility, global penetration and a very positive brand equity of every nation.
Also present at the press conference were Mensah Emmanuel, the CEO of EM Production, Yaw Oppong Agyemang, the Head of Operations at Bison Imperial Global Shipping and Logistics, and Mr. Akwasi Boateng, the Public Relations Agent for Bison Imperial Global Shipping and Logistics.
Musicians Abochi and OV, together with DJ ABK GH and MC Nana King were also present at the launch.

It was a night of intellect, eloquence and culture as contestants of the 2026 Miss Tourism Ghana took centre stage at the Coconut Grove Regency Hotel for the Debate and Culture Night last Saturday.
The event, which forms part of activities leading up to the grand finale, saw the ladies move beyond beauty to battle with ideas, facts and opinions on a topic critical to the tourism industry.
The contestants debated the topic: The Importance of Traditional and Digital Media on Promotion of Tourism.
For the debate, the contestants were grouped into two teams of four, each tasked with defending a side of the argument.
It was a fierce but respectful exchange. The team arguing for traditional media described it as the trust builder, emphasising its credibility, mass reach, and its power to tell in-depth, emotional stories through television documentaries, radio and newspaper features.
They argued that traditional media still shapes public opinion and influences policy decisions in the tourism sector.
On the other side, the proponents of digital media raised salient points about its unmatched advantages in the modern era.
They highlighted its global reach at low cost, its two-way interaction that allows tourists to share real experiences and reviews, its ability to target specific audiences, and its measurable results where clicks, views and bookings can be tracked.
After heated arguments and rebuttals, both teams arrived at a powerful consensus that drew applause from the audience.
They concluded that without traditional media, tourism promotion lacks credibility and depth, and without digital media, it lacks reach, engagement and sales.
The judges and patrons agreed that the debate underscored a crucial lesson for Ghana’s tourism drive: for a country blessed with rich cultural heritage, colourful festivals, historic forts and castles, diverse wildlife and pristine beaches, the winning formula lies in combining the storytelling power of traditional media with the viral power of digital media to attract both domestic and international tourists.
The night was not only about debate, as the contestants also dazzled in cultural wear, showcasing the beauty and diversity of Ghanaian culture.
