What is AMAKA Gigs?

It’s often the scenario when you’re given an exciting, new marketing campaign or brief, that more often than not, you will need support or help from freelance content creators (e.g. copywriters/journalists, photographers, designers, video editors, etc) or sometimes even influencers but the process can feel really daunting, time-consuming, etc when you’re already on limited time and budgets to execute the campaign.

You often have to trawl through the internet and social media for hours looking for the right content creators, then searching on another platform to find their correct/most up-to-date contact details. And then after hiring/working with them, you’ll need to source their finance details for payment, again, on another platform. All of this takes time, resource and a lot of effort.

Well, AMAKA has also experience this challenge from working on various projects in their three and a half years, and has come up with a really innovative and brilliant solution: AMAKA GIGS!
