tGS Creative Marketing Cohort — Intake 1

Learn to market. Actually market. Not just post.

A structured remote training programme for aspiring marketers across Nigeria and West Africa. You will learn to read a market, write a brief, run a campaign, and defend your choices.

No theory for its own sake. No mock exercises. Real products, real buyers, real feedback.

Applications for Intake 1 are open now. Places are limited. Cohort begins mid to end of July 2026.

What this is

This is not a social media course

The platform is a tool. The mind is the asset. Every task in this programme is designed to build one habit: think before you post.

The tGS Creative Marketing Cohort trains people to understand markets, not just manage content calendars. You will study a real product category, map real buyers, write real briefs, and produce work that gets real critique. You will not be handed templates and told to fill them in.

The first intake is built around the Nigerian consumer goods market, specifically fast-moving beauty and personal care products. This is a high-volume, high-competition, price-sensitive market with real brand positioning challenges. It is an excellent place to learn how marketing actually works.

The standard

You are not learning to look busy online. You are learning to move product, build audiences, and understand why campaigns succeed or fail.

The programme

Level 1: Market Mindset Training

Level 1 runs across three waves. Each wave builds on the last. There are no shortcuts between them.

Wave 1: Market Awareness

You learn the Nigerian consumer goods market as a system. You map the buyers, the sellers, the competitors, and the regulatory environment. By the end of Wave 1 you can describe a real buyer with real motivations, not a demographic with no face.

Wave 2: Guided Imitation

You receive a working campaign brief and a complete example. You write your own version, receive specific critique, and revise. The assessment is not whether the content looks good. It is whether you can explain the choices you made.

Wave 3: Simple Adaptation

A new brief. A new product. A new audience. No example to copy. You produce an independent mini-campaign and then transfer the same logic to an offline format. If the thinking holds without the platform, you are ready to progress.

What comes after

Participants who complete Level 1 move to Level 2, unlock performance-based commission tiers, and become eligible for team lead and campaign management roles within the tGS Creative network.

The product context

Real products. Real market.

You are not practising on a fictional case study. Intake 1 is built around real consumer products distributed across Nigeria. You will be given access to the product catalog, the pricing structure, and the competitive context as part of the programme.

You bring consistency, creativity, and the willingness to think carefully. Everything else is provided.

Programme delivery

The programme runs entirely through the channels you will use when you are running actual campaigns. No separate platform to learn. No LMS login to forget. The training environment and the working environment are deliberately the same.

Is this for you

Who belongs in this cohort

You are a good fit if
  • You are genuinely curious about how things sell
  • You notice what makes a message land and think about why
  • You are interested in buyers, not just content
  • You are willing to invest time and follow through on feedback
  • You thrive on professional-standard independence
  • You take initiative without waiting to be told
This is not the right programme if
  • You are looking for a certificate to display rather than skills to use
  • You need daily hand-holding and constant prompting
  • You want theory without application
  • You are not prepared to revise your work after critique
  • You are not based in or familiar with the Nigerian market
The process

2

Selection

Successful applicants are contacted within five working days of the intake closing. Slots are limited. If you do not hear back, your application was not selected for this intake cycle. Future intakes will be announced on this page.

Work through Level 1

Three waves. Real feedback. Revision. The trainer intervenes for strategic reviews and major feedback points, not for daily troubleshooting.
