The Pitcher Festival of Creativity is introducing yet another innovation in the pan-African annual festival from 2025.
Called Creative Leaders Compass, it is a groundbreaking initiative designed to empower industry leaders in the marketing and creative communications sectors across Africa and beyond.
The inaugural edition is scheduled to take place from 17 to 21 March 2025, in Kigali, Rwanda, and will form part of the lead-up events to the Pitcher Festival 2025.
The Creative Leaders Compass is specifically tailored for senior managers, C-suite executives, and those being groomed to fill these positions. Additionally, it is ideal for senior brand and marketing executives working globally whose portfolios include Africa, such as those overseeing regions like MEA (Middle East and Africa) and EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa).
Programme highlights indicate that there would be network opportunities where participants would connect with top industry leaders and peers, fostering collaboration and idea exchange.·
They would also gain market insights through in-depth knowledge of the African market, its unique challenges, and emerging trends, as well as gain inspiration through accessing the most innovative and creative ideas from across the continent.
The event would also enhance participants’ leadership capabilities with practical insights and strategies.
Commenting on the development, Dr. Nnamdi Ndu, CEO of CHINI Africa and chairman of the Pitcher Festival of Creativity, said: “As our Academies enter their 18th year in 2025, we are expanding our support for top talent in the creative industry and are excited to bring this transformative program to life. The Creative Leaders Compass will not only provide valuable insights into the African market but also foster a community of leaders dedicated to excellence and innovation.”
Official registration for participation in the Creative Leaders Compass opens on 1 October 2024. Early registration guarantees participation in this transformative event with exclusive early-bird discounts.
