By Oghale Mafuru
As MARKETING EDGE magazine, Nigeria’s leading integrated marketing communications industry publication gears up for the 2021 edition of its Annual Marketing Stakeholders Summit and Brand and Advertising Excellence Awards, stakeholders and previous awardees have extolled the brilliant initiative. They commended the iconic Magazine for its commitment to promoting the brand idea.
Speaking in an interview with MARKETING EDGE magazine, Chief Executive Officer/MD of TVC Communications, Andrew Hanlon commended the ingenious initiative that gathers top industry players, recognizes outstanding performance, excellence and doggedness. He described the foremost magazine as an umpire in the IMC industry.
He described MARKETING EDGE “as the voice of the Advertising and Marketing Industry in Nigeria. That means it plays a really serious role for marketers and advertisers. It is one serious magazine that exists and we all rely on it”.
On his part, Creative Director, X3M Ideas, Mike Miller said “Winning the award was very exciting. It is a great signal that you are going in the right direction and that people actually appreciate which way you are going and what you are doing. So, it is a great accolade”.
Managing Director of IBTS Media, Ayodeji Tobun, stated that “I think it’s amazing that someone recognizes those of us in this industry. Marketing is really large. I don’t think people know how large marketing is. An award like this with all the different awards and categories, you can tell that there is a lot that goes into marketing a brand, a product, a person, a country and we all try our best to do that”.
Commending the award initiative and emphasizing the strategic impact it has in reinforcing intellectual and creative rigour amongst industry professionals in the sector, Country Manager, Syracuse Africa, Ademola Oshunniyi enthusiastically noted that “I see MARKETING EDGE as an industry leader. I have known them for years, more than a decade. I am very excited to see how they have been able to remain focused in how they are recognizing the young and those that have actually been industry changers. Being part of it is actually something that is very exciting for me”.
The 2021 edition of the Marketing Stakeholders Summit and Brands and Advertising Award of Excellence is another opportunity to reward and recognize outstanding brands and brand builders in the IMC industry. The twin event is scheduled to hold August 26th and 27th virtually and at the prestigious D’ Podium International Center, Ikeja, Lagos State respectively.
