Meanwhile, as gig opportunities increase so do the platforms linking workers with remote opportunities. The company is planning an aggressive marketing to get at least 100 corporates on board over the next one year, from the current 40 (17 being major enterprises) currently using its platform.“The other side of it is just letting more brands like the top-tier ones know that we exist because there’s a need for creatives in every company and every company right now is struggling to hire talent; and they just don’t even know that there’s a world full of talent waiting,” said Coleman. The startup is tapping the potential of the fast-growing gig economy that has disrupted the traditional work setup. Stage 2 Capital partner, Mandy Cole said, “With the shortage of highly skilled talent and the increasing need for diverse thinking, especially in creative, marketing and product, Meaningful Gigs is solving a huge problem by connecting talented African designers with companies to deliver best in class design.”“We’ve been impressed with the Meaningful Gigs team’s focus in providing the best design experience for their clients while providing amazing tools for their designers; we’re excited to support their journey to become the destination for diverse design talent.”Meaningful Gigs is connecting designers in Africa with global companies. Meaningful Gigs is one of such platforms that is fashioning itself as the go-to marketplace for freelance designers in Africa looking to eke a living by taking on assignments from multinationals in the US like CocaCola, Audi, Vans and IDEO.
