More than 40 young and aspiring creators, recently gathered in Lagos as Meta hosted a first-of-its-kind educational in-real-life programme for creators in Nigeria.
The Meta Creator Lab allowed them to learn from experts and collaborate with other creators.
The Creator Lab Live follows the initial Creator Lab edutainment series launched in March 2022, a foundational programme to support aspiring and emerging creators as they navigate their journeys and careers.
The programme included workshops that enabled them to learn how to create engaging content, grow their community, and navigate the suite of products available on Instagram.
Speaking at the Creator Lab, Moon Baz, Creator Partnerships Lead, Africa, Middle East, and Turkey, Meta, said, “We are excited to launch Creator Lab Live in Nigeria, a first-of-its-kind by Instagram to support emerging and aspiring creators to grow on Instagram. Nigeria already has a thriving creator ecosystem with a global cultural influence and provides an excellent opportunity for us to support them as they navigate their journeys and careers.
“We recognise the amazing content they create across our family of apps and are committed to helping creators to grow their communities and make a living across our platforms. As we work toward shaping the future of digital content and experiences, we are excited and invested in giving creators a home base to build community and create engaging content through various content formats and creative tools.” She added.
