Introduction

Welcome to the Creative Assessment stage of your application for the Social Media Intern role at Olu’s Kitchen.

This exercise helps us see how you think creatively, tell stories visually, and communicate brand messages that engage audiences.

We’re not looking for perfection or fancy design. The priority is on clarity, creativity, and connection.


Brand Background (Context)

Olu’s Kitchen is a UK-based catering and food brand that brings authentic Nigerian meals to homes, offices, and community events.

The brand focuses on:

  • Freshly made, home-style dishes
  • A warm, community-driven tone
  • Visual storytelling that celebrates Nigerian culture and food nostalgia

Your work will help amplify the brand’s story and engage its growing audience.

For each post, provide:

  1. A short description of your visual concept (1–3 sentences)
