“There will be lots of important nuggets and wealth of experience to share across industries and professional disciplines. Keep a date with @marketingedgeonline on their 2021 Edition of the IMC Quarterly Virtual Summit taking place this June,” said Franklin Ozekhome.
And Temitayo Ige is “Excited to be joining several other marketing professionals at the @marketingedgeonline Quarterly Summit”.
Meanwhile, John Ajayi, the convener and managing Director, MARKETING EDGE has said the idea of the Summit was borne out of the commitment to agenda-setting goals of the organisation and the need to bring the industry together to discuss topical issues of interest.
“As an agenda-setting publication, stakeholders expect much from us especially at this critical time. This is our little way of stimulating meaningful and result-oriented conversations in the IMC as it recovers from its myriad of challenges. It is also a way of accomplishing our self-appointed task of promoting the brand idea,” he said.
He assured that the forthcoming second Summit would undoubtedly be an improvement on the maiden edition, as judging from the multiple topics being looked into clearly indicate that the scope of the Summit has been widened.
