We strongly believe that creativity is a force for business, for good and for change. Round the year, we host several events, training programmes and forums to inspire, promote and showcase creativity, especially from the African perspective. We have become a rallying point for Africa's creative community and a channel for the rest of the world to learn, experience and connect with the diverse creativity of Africa.
Our Platforms
Pitcher Festival
Pitcher Festival promotes and celebrates the best of African creativity. The Festival includes programmes like Pitcher Awards, the new Pan-African benchmark for creative excellence; Pitcher Talks - a unique regional platform for leading industry professionals to deliver top-notch seminars and conduct hands-on workshops that address critical issues affecting the industry; Creating a Better Africa, an initiative aimed at mobilizing the private sector towards greater participation in development projects in Africa and youth events - the Future Creative Leaders Academy (for students) and Young Professionals Academy for professionals under 30.
CULTURECODE
CULTURECODE evolved from a partnership with Miami Ad School, the world's most awarded advertising school. The goal was to provide remote world-class learning experience by engaging some of the best talents in the world to conduct the classes irrespective of their location. This was almost a decade before the pandemic made virtual learning a trend.
Since it's set up in 2011, CULTURECODE has remained the trainer of choice for virtually all the top ad agencies in Nigeria and beyond as well as many forward-looking in-house creative hubs of client companies.

KreativeKlub combines informal hangouts, seminars, webinars and round-table sessions to bring creative minds together and keep them abreast of latest industry developments and trends. Soapbox by KreativeKlub is a monthly online event where industry professionals from around the world review campaigns, share ideas and passions with colleagues.
