Marketing studio · Addis Ababa and Los Angeles
ክፍተቱን እንዘጋለን።
Ethiopia's new companies are better than they look. Semna Studio is the marketing department they don't have yet: brand, content, digital and launches, plus the systems that keep it running.
The gap
Our name comes from sem-ena-werq, the Amharic poetic form where a plain surface carries a deeper meaning. Most companies here already have the gold: years of quality, loyal buyers, real capacity. What customers and investors see is the wax. We build a surface worth the business underneath.
What buyers see today
No website, or one that hasn't changed in years. A logo nobody chose. Price lists sent as phone photos. Nothing a bank, an investor or a foreign partner can check.
What we build
A clear brand, a fast bilingual website, content on a schedule, the documents a listing or a raise will ask for, and a hub that keeps the team on plan.
From your request to a one-page audit in your inbox.
English and Amharic in every deliverable, written, not translated.
Fixed scope, fixed price, agreed before any work starts.
What you can count on

Reploy · Addis edition
A dashboard shows what happened. Our hubs go one step further: they find the weak spot, suggest the fix, put it on the calendar, ask the owner to approve it and write the monthly report. Built for owners who check the business on a phone, in Amharic or English, in birr or dollars.
Marketing hub
For companies that sell units: apartments, plots, seats, memberships.
Company system
For growing companies whose work lives in phones, chats and paper folders.
Screens show demo data for a fictional company.
Selected work
We prove every playbook on a model company or on our own products before we sell it.
