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
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.
