TrendHuB didn't start in a boardroom. It started between two journalism students - Oculu Simon Peter and Akonyu Ivan - who saw a problem that nobody around them was solving. Small business owners in Uganda had incredible products and services, but no idea how to show them to the world.
"We weren't trying to build an agency. We were trying to solve a problem we saw every day."
What started as a university project quickly became something real. TrendHuB began creating content for small businesses - photography, social media, video - helping them generate revenue from platforms they had never properly used. They trained entrepreneurs on how to show up online with confidence and consistency.
But TrendHuB was never just about business. From the beginning, storytelling was at the heart of everything. Telling the stories of real people, real communities, real moments - with the craft and care those stories deserved.
Today TrendHuB has grown into a full-service creative media agency - producing brand campaigns, managing social media for established businesses, covering major events and telling stories through documentary and long-form content. And through FSI, we are building the next generation of creators across Uganda. We are still growing. The story is still being written.
