Out There Media to Offer Internships to Future Pitcher Winners

The Pitcher Festival of Creativity is pleased to announce a new talent‑development partnership with Out There Media (OTM), a global leader in data‑driven rich messaging and mobile advertising technology. Through this collaboration, OTM will offer internship opportunities to winners of the Future Pitcher Competition, the culminating challenge of the Future Pitcher Student Academy (FPSA).

FPSA, now in its 19th year, is the entry point into Africa’s creative industry pipeline, introducing outstanding students to creativity, strategy, storytelling, cultural insight, and collaboration. The programme concludes with the Future Pitcher Competition, where top‑performing students are recognized as emerging creative leaders.

As part of its commitment to nurturing young talent across the continent, Out There Media will provide selected winners with remote internship placements across several African markets, including Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroon, and Ivory Coast. Interns will gain hands‑on experience in areas such as ad operations, creative digital development, digital trading, account management, and sales. OTM will also provide a monthly stipend to support participants during the internship period.

This collaboration strengthens the bridge between education and industry practice, offering young creatives the opportunity to work on real campaigns for global brands and mobile operators while learning directly from industry experts.

The Pitcher Festival celebrates this partnership as a meaningful step toward expanding career pathways for Africa’s next generation of creative professionals.
