Think Tank Media & Advertising MD Taiwo Olukunle talks to Content Nigeria about the upcoming two-day Creative Nigeria Summit taking place in Lagos.
The Creative Nigeria Summit (CNS) is an annual event organised by Think Tank Media & Advertising (TTMA) in partnership with the Ministry of Information & Culture.
After the success of the maiden edition, held last year, it is scheduled to hold this year’s summit on July 16 and 17 at the Eko Hotel & Suites, Lagos.
The two-day event aims to bring together international and local media professionals to discuss the latest trends and innovations in TV, technology, OTT services and content creation, acquisition and distribution.
Here Taiwo Olukunle, MD of TTMA, tells Gabriella Opara about the summit’s purpose and shares her insights.
This is the second edition of CNS. How different will it be from last year?
This year the focus is on content. Hence the theme, Content: The Future of Nigerian Film and Television in a Digital Era.
What makes CNS different from other conferences?
The aim of the summit is to build a structure that leaves behind a sustainable legacy and puts proper structures in place to develop the creative industry and diversify the Nigerian economy.
What should participants look forward to?
This year’s event promises to be a lot more impactful, as we ceaselessly move to grow the Nigerian creative industry with this gathering of creative minds. Registration is free. Interested participants can register by simply logging on to our website at www.creativenigeria.org.
