TCD has rights for television channels, mobile operators, video platforms, aerial and maritime video services and cinema. Among the titles and collections distributed: “Wives on Strike”, “Before 30”, “Dreams – Urban Musical”, “Brothers with no game”, “The West Indian Gangsters”, “Guest Stars”, “Afrobeats – from Nigeria to theworld “, ” Generation Papa Wemba “and” Salomon Kalou – the cherished elephant “.

The creation of TCD responds to a need to ensure better exposure and maximum monetization ofAfro-urban creators of world-class quality often abandoned by traditional distributors.

The presence of TRACE in more than 160 countries and at the heart of the major African-American production sites (USA, UK, France, Africa, Caribbean, Indian Ocean) allows TCD to have privileged access to quality works.

Betty Sulty-Johnson, TRACE’s VP Content Distribution says: “I am delighted to join the TRACE group to develop this business. Content management, from design to monetization, is a key value creation area for TRACE.”

Olivier Laouchez, CEO and co-founder of TRACE, says: “TRACE Content Distribution is a logical and strategic evolution for the group in its desire to identify and support Afro-urban creators and talents. Thanks to the arrival of Betty Sulty-Johnson, TRACE is enriched with a recognized expertise to develop and exploit at best a catalog of great value.”
