Moroccan startup Creative Africa has launched a platform that features the best of African creatives in different domains such as photography, web design and painting. I started posting for software engineering positions, but got rejected many times, not due to my lack of competence, but because I was charging a lot for an African,” El Azzabi told Disrupt Africa. After searching for some creatives in Africa, I was blown away by the quality and execution of African creatives and how their work matches worldwide standards. “We are planning to operate in every African country to variate the offering and styles,” El Azzabi said. It will charge creatives for promoted featuring, which El Azzabi says is different from the normal advertising model as promoting the work of African creatives is at the core of the startup’s mission.
