The Nedbank IMC Conference has become known for its dynamic agenda and over 20 local and global industry leaders took to the stage on 15 September. Seamlessly facilitated by comedian and former adman Donovan Goliath, presenters ranged from opening speaker, SA superstar Pearl Thusi, to international closing speaker Allison Knapp Womack, COO at Effies Worldwide, who joined in-person. Modern Marketing is a proud media partner of the event.
Over 2000 delegates joined the hybrid event with the Joburg in-person venue being sold out two months in advance. Also joining in-person was international keynote speaker Nick Law, Global Creative Chairperson at Accenture Song. Law provided a global perspective with his iconic 7 pillars for the future of creativity. Law is Australian and the crowd roared in appreciation when he was handed a personalised Springbok jersey after his presentation.
Another highlight of the day was when top Red&Yellow student, Anganathi Beyile, was given the podium to share his thoughts on marketing purpose. Commenting on his presentation, IMC CEO Dale Hefer said, ‘The conference is committed to youth upliftment, and it was rewarding to see the up-and-coming talent in person’. Since inception in 2019 the Nedbank IMC has given 10 tertiary bursaries to worthy youngsters.
