Content creation is fast becoming a valuable source of growth for the Filipino creative economy with a wide range of talents finding relevance in the digital media landscape.
Hatchery PH, the country’s first creator incubator, taps into this market by empowering the country’s aspiring content creators. Last July 8, Hatchery PH announced their first roster of twenty “hatchlings,” selected from a pool of over 100 applicants. Their call for applications was open to content creators and influencers from the Philippines, aged 18 and above, with at least 10,000 followers in any social media platform.
The incubator provides online training to applicants, opening up networking opportunities to take their careers to the next level. This includes one-on-one coaching sessions with industry mentors, and learning sessions on digital marketing, content creation and execution, content monetization, pitching, and brand relationships. Among those in Hatchery PH’s first list of 16 mentors were Erwan Heusaff, best known for his food content as Fat Kid Inside; Herbert Hernandez, founding partner of the critically-acclaimed ad agency Gigil, and; Katrina Nicdao-Ronquillo, head of affiliate marketing of shopping platform Lazada.
