Speaking at the event, Kwakye highlighted the growing economic impact of African creators,
noting that African content creators currently contribute an estimated $5 billion to the digital economy, with projections expected to reach $30 billion by 2032, according to North
African Post.

She emphasized that creators are no longer a side industry, but a key driver of Africa’s digital and cultural economy.
The conference also featured the Gold Circle Podcast, with live interviews of creative entrepreneurs, including photographers Twinsdntbeg, offering insight into branding, creativity,
and sustainable digital growth.

Raymond Smith, keynote speaker and media executive from Afrimass Media, spoke on the importance of branding, narrative ownership, and media positioning for African creators
seeking global relevance.
The event further highlighted community-driven initiatives such as Gold Roots NGO, which
focuses on empowering creatives and youth through culture, technology, and education.

Refreshments were provided by McPhilix Foods, a Ghanaian food entrepreneur who successfully transformed traditional plantain chips into a recognizable consumer brand — an example of how creators and branding play a critical role in business growth.
The Gold Circle Conference reinforced a central message: the growth of African businesses and digital economies is increasingly impossible without creators, storytellers, and
cultural builders.

Cybersecurity was a major focus of the forum, with participants highlighting the growing need for digital users and content creators to adopt safer online practices as digital platforms become increasingly integrated into everyday life.

The forum further explored the transformative impact of Artificial Intelligence on content creation, communication and the wider media industry. Participants considered the opportunities offered by emerging technologies while emphasising the need for responsible, ethical and informed adoption.

For members of NMAG, the forum served as a platform for direct engagement with MTN Ghana, allowing practitioners to share industry experiences, raise concerns and exchange views on issues affecting bloggers and digital content creators.

NMAG President, Eugene Osafo Nkansah, called on MTN Ghana to consider introducing a dedicated data package for bloggers and other practitioners in the new media space.

He noted that a specialised package could help digital media practitioners manage their online operations more effectively and support them in carrying out their professional responsibilities.

The proposal received positive reactions from participants, with several practitioners describing MTN’s data services as reliable and expressing support for a dedicated package tailored to the needs of bloggers and digital content creators.
