our story

so in a nutshell...

Gumbudii is a classic case of a happy accident. Gumbudii was formed after our founder, Alexios, was in the process of proving the concept of his original start-up, Joobii, a job ad-to-video conversion platform that was to provide young people with an all-new, inspiring experience of searching for jobs online (click here to find out more about Joobii). After Alexios successfully proved Joobii's concept and drew over 150 video job ads for businesses in the West Midlands, he then got multiple requests from these businesses, who really enjoyed the content, to return in order to create more general creative social media advertising videos.

​

In the early days, Gumbudii was trading in exchange for free food, beers, and spare cash. But in less than 3 months, Alexios already had nearly 10 businesses on some form of'monthly content subscription', and it was at this point that the decision needed to be made to either continue this venture as a side hustle or nuckle down and turn this thing into a business. And as of April 2023, Gumbudii was born.

​

Fast forward to the present day: Gumbudii has produced hundreds of videos,generated millions of organic views for its clients, and has big plans for how it looks to utilise local talent and resources to provide the service nation-wide.
