Connecting communities with the businesses that serve them — through authentic stories.
Ipolowo (Yoruba: “to advertise”) is a Lagos-first local business discovery platform that connects consumers with businesses through authentic storytelling. We believe every business has a story worth telling — and every consumer deserves to discover the brands that serve their community.
Businesses share their origin stories, behind-the-scenes content, and brand narratives through video and written stories.
Weekly live interviews with business owners, hosted by our creators — giving audiences a real look at the people behind the brands.
A network of local content creators who produce and promote business stories, earning through our promotion booking system.
Consumers earn points for engaging with content — liking, commenting, sharing — redeemable for real rewards.
Lagos is Africa's largest city and one of the fastest-growing economies on the continent. With millions of small and medium businesses competing for attention, we're building the infrastructure for authentic discovery — starting where the need is greatest.
Whether you're a business owner, content creator, or curious consumer — there's a place for you on Ipolowo.
