MultiChoice is looking for 10 video content creators native to the TikTok platform and between the ages of 18-35. The content creators chosen will become part of the Multichoice Studio Reach incubator - an online content creation programme in which they will learn digital storytelling skills, business skills, connect with other creators, and a one-year subsidized internship with Multichoice brands which will run from 20 June 2022 to 20 June 2023.

The programme aims to engage young creative digital thinkers to produce digital-first content in line with future thinking and social trends.
