ABOUT us

We’ve been creatives all our lives — but getting our work seen used to feel like winning a lottery. The talent was there, the ideas were strong, yet the opportunities were scarce. Too often, we were told that our skills would be more “useful” abroad than at home.

That mindset left countless ideas stuck at the starting line. Frustrated but determined, we chose a different path: to collaborate, join forces, and grow independently until we could no longer be ignored.

Today, we are Digital Escape Africa — a creative powerhouse built to empower and connect creatives all over the continent.

Born from the need to grow Africa’s Largest Creative Community, our vision is to be the central hub where creatives, brands, and audiences meet. We do this through platforms like:

• Events that showcase and celebrate talent.
  
  
• EscapeMag, our flagship publication for African creativity.
  
  
• Escape Marketplace, where African-made products meet global buyers.
  
  
• A physical hub for networking, collaboration, and skill-building.
  
  

We’re building a springboard platform — a one-stop shop for brands and agencies looking for the right creative talent. All they have to do is come to us.

We believe in the strength of numbers and the power of shared opportunity. We help creatives build their portfolios, kickstart their careers, and access the resources they need to grow.

Our ultimate goal? To help African creatives build, monetize, and sustain their work, fueling the growth of Africa’s creative economy.
