Built to help ideas travel further.

Social Metrics Ltd is a media and communications firm registered in the United Kingdom and in Nigeria — creating, monetizing and distributing digital content since 2019.

Our Story

We started with a simple observation: good stories were getting lost between the newsroom and the audience.

Social Metrics Ltd was founded to close that gap. What began as a single news desk in Port Harcourt has grown into a network of owned media, video and creative brands — each one built around a specific audience, and all of them backed by the same editorial and production discipline.

Today, our team creates and distributes content across news, audio, video and app platforms, then pairs that output with a digital PR strategy that gets it seen by the people it was made for — advertisers, partners, institutions and everyday readers alike.

What We Believe

The principles behind every brand we run.

A

Editorial integrity, always

Every portal and production carries the same commitment to accuracy, fairness and independent reporting — no matter how the content is monetized.

B

Built for distribution, not just publication

Content is only as valuable as the audience it reaches. We design every piece with its channel, format and audience in mind from the outset.

C

One network, shared standards

Report Afrique, Metrics Studios, Wired Africa and the rest of our brands operate independently but share the same production quality bar.

D

Local roots, global reach

Headquartered in Port Harcourt and registered in the UK, we build stories that start local and are engineered to travel internationally.
