Woof Studios Africa has announced the lineup for the ECHO Creator Accelerator, a creator-focused program set to begin in Lagos in early April 2026.
According to the announcement, the accelerator will feature notable figures from the media and creator industries, including actress and producer Ruth Kadiri, digital health creator Chinonso Egemba, popularly known as Aproko Doctor, filmmaker Dammy Twitch, travel filmmaker Tayo Aina, Tomike Adeoye, Adebola Williams, Elozonam Ogbolu, Seyi Ekisola, Miss Tennie, Ify Mogekwu, and Ibidunmi Oladayo.
The company described ECHO as a high-impact, invite-only accelerator created to help digital creators build sustainable businesses around their platforms. It said the program aims to close the gap between online influence and long-term business success by equipping selected participants with the systems and strategies needed to grow into scalable global brands.
Adetutu Laditan, founder and creative director of Woof Studios, said the goal of ECHO is to move creators beyond internet popularity and position them as long-term industry players. She added that the accelerator is designed to give African creators the structure and knowledge required to own and grow the value they create.
Woof Studios said the program’s curriculum is built around three major pillars: monetization, business structure, and global positioning. According to the organizers, participants will learn to build more stable income streams beyond brand deals, create formal structures for their creative businesses, and position their content to be relevant in international markets.
Applications for the accelerator are currently open and free. The organisers said interested applicants must have at least 1,000 YouTube subscribers or 10,000 followers on Instagram or TikTok. Only 15 creators will be selected for the first cohort.
The application deadline is 11:59 PM WAT on 22 March 2026. Apply here
