COPBSMI is dedicated to champion the interest of online media practitioners from diverse backgrounds including publishers, Bloggers, web developers, and social media influencers.
Formed on 17 December 2021 at Eket Christmas Village, COPBSMI could be described as a child of circumstance in the sense that the idea about it’s formation came in a very unusual way. While different people and organizations were gathering at the first ever Eket Christmas Village organized by Hon. Akaniyene Tommey’s led administration in Eket Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State, dining and wining together, Ubong Creativity David thought it wise for media colleagues to also gather to share thoughts at the venue of the Christmas Village.
He shared the idea with another media influencer, Comrade Unwana Assam, who agreed with him and he took a step forward to convinced Daniel Edon to use his business tent to hold the Hang Out. Considering the noises coming from different vendors at the Eket Christmas Village situated at the Pavilion of Eket Sports Stadium, he approached the CEO of MediaMall Ltd, Elder Iniobong Akpan, who did not only grant him approval to use his Media Mall Academy free of charge, but also offered him chairs and public address system without a cost. That was the beginning of this journey.
