The Center for International Trade Expositions and Missions opens its registration for a centralized directory for Filipino creative talent.
The Center for International Trade Expositions and Missions (CITEM), the export promotions arm of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), recognizes the creative industry’s contribution to the local economy and its impact on the global creative community.
In line with this, CITEM has strengthened its CREATE Philippines brand through its inaugural digital conference last year dubbed Creative Futures. CITEM also launched the online platform CreatePhilippines.com to promote Filipino creative talents and case studies to the international market. The platform will now expand to offer a centralized directory for Filipino creative talent as a first step in creating an omnichannel approach in promoting Filipino creatives worldwide.
“As part of the country’s continuous digital shift, the CREATE Philippines platform will not just showcase the journey of Filipino creatives through engaging content but help capacitate the sector. We want the CREATE platform to be a starting point for collaboration within diverse sectors of the country’s creative economy,” shared CITEM Executive Director Pauline Suaco-Juan.
Registration is free and open to all creative companies and individuals looking to widen their businesses. To join, aspiring creatives can register via https://createphilippines.com/ and are required to submit the following documents: digital portfolio containing their brand story, projects, and list of clients; any government-issued ID for individuals or valid Business Permit for business and companies; and BIR Certificate of Registration.
“We believe that the capabilities of the Philippines’ creative industries can also boost economic growth and can generate export sales, through this initiative we hope to aid our creatives to reach their fullest potential, “Suaco-Juan added.
By signing up at the CREATE Philippines Directory of Creatives, participants will be provided a complimentary digital booth in the 2022 Creative Futures Digital Conference and can maximize the year-round promotional activities of CREATE Philippines. The next digital conference for CREATE Philippines will be held in July.
