01 — About
Est. 2024 / Medina Firestone, GH
We’re a small house with a long memory.
Twelve full-timers in Medina Firestone, four studios, and a stubborn belief that African creative work doesn’t need to look like anyone else’s.
002 — About
One house.
Four crafts.
Zero shortcuts.
Ragnogroup was started in Medina Firestone with a simple thesis: the next decade of African creative work is going to look very different — and somebody from here ought to build it.
We're a collective of producers, photographers, engineers, and writers who would rather make one thing properly than ten things hastily. Whether it's a national esports finals, a documentary on the slave trade, a brand campaign, or a custom piece of software — every project goes through the same craft sieve.

How
we got here.
Ragnogroup didn’t start with a deck. It started with two friends realizing they were turning down work that didn’t fit either of their day jobs — a wedding film here, a tournament broadcast there, a microsite for a friend’s brand — and that the work was more interesting at the seams.
The bet was simple: keep each craft sharp and separate, but let them share a roof, a back office, and a standards bar. Two years on, the bet has paid.

- 2024Milestone
Agoro joins
Agoro eSports comes in-house after running its first national tournament. The collective model gels: separate audiences, shared craft.
- 2025Milestone
Twumdufe & Spiteq
Long-form documentary work and custom software both grow into their own brands. Four studios, one P&L, one set of standards.
- 2026Milestone
Now
Twelve full-time, a roster of trusted contractors, clients in three continents. Same studio in Medina Firestone, slightly bigger room.
The team
The people
behind the work.
A small core of full-timers, a trusted bench of contractors, and the occasional guest collaborator. We’d rather hire slowly than build a roster that doesn’t talk to each other.

Send a hello →008 — Why us
Reasons
to pick us.
You've read the marketing on a hundred sites. Here's the short list of what we'd actually want a future client to know.
- i.Reason
Strong creative direction
We don't take a brief and parrot it back. Every project gets a point-of-view we'll defend in the room.
- ii.Reason
Reliable execution
On-time, on-spec, with the boring parts (legal, contracts, deliverables) handled before they become your problem.
- iii.Reason
Multi-discipline teams
Esports producers next to engineers, photographers next to writers. The boundary between crafts is where the best work hides.
- iv.Reason
Built for the long term
Most of our clients come back. We optimize for the relationship, not the project margin.
