Thirty thought leaders from Africa and beyond will appear over the course of one day at South Africa’s premier marketing conference, the Nedbank IMC. The theme is “Marketing Relevance.”
African marketers, entrepreneurs and creatives are fully aware of the growing importance of customer relevance and at this year’s Nedbank Integrated Marketing Conference (IMC), there will be a host of inspiring speakers who will provide insights and strategies. The conference is known for its hard hitting speaker format – with no sales pitches.
Dale Hefer, CEO of the Nedbank IMC, said the power of the conference is in being able to gather so many of Africa’s advertising and marketing thought leaders together in one virtual place, on one day. Marketers will be able to log in to watch this not-to-be-missed pan-African event from their computers, laptops or cellular devices.
“Marketers are hungry for insight into finding and keeping that elusive yet critical ingredient – relevance. We have brought together the best-of-the best global thought leaders to provide our delegates with answers,” said Dale.
Conference host, Gugulethu Mfuphi, will be joined by co-hosts Xolisa Dyeshana, Group Creative Director at Joe Public, and Preetesh Sewraj, CEO of The Loeries. Together they will introduce the Nedbank IMC 2022 line-up, which includes:
