The 2019 APEX awards are proudly hosted by the Association for Communication and Advertising (ACA) with Key Partner Provantage Media Group and sponsors Kantar and Vodacom.
Drawn from strategy, digital, creative, research, media, marketing as well as agency heads, the 2019 APEX award adjudication panel consists of highly regarded individuals and industry trailblazers. The group is tasked with the significant responsibility of combing through entries to identify and award the ‘work that works’.
Mathe Okaba, CEO of ACA said, ‘Winning an APEX award delivers evidence of the profession’s contribution to business success. It reinforces the value we provide as an industry and affirms our contribution within the context of the broader economy. This heavyweight adjudication panel is entrusted with identifying and bringing to the fore those campaigns that truly delivered on brand objectives and impacted the bottom line.’
