Keynote 7 : Brand safety in the digital marketing space in Africa

For brands to grow in a digital ecosystem, it must do so in a safe space. Brand safety is not a need to have, it’s a must have.
Regulations are mostly an afterthought or after the fact, so they can’t create the first-hand safety, brands need in an ever changing the digital world. As consumers, take more of their daily routines online as a result of their busy life and improvement in digital infrastructure. Advertisers have no option than to take their messages to where their customers are.
Digital spend will increase; and as always criminal elements will follow the money. Ad fraud is real and must it be tackled. Brand safety ? GARM to the rescue.

Entertainment was at the heart of the relationship between brands and consumers. However, at some point in the last decade, we believed that consumers were time deprived.

And at the heart of entertainment comes a new voice and a new age of influence – creators.

Only 20% of the brands that Africans admire are made in Africa and 30% of the Top 100 brands are driven by technology.

Keynote 11 : Social Media paradox and why too many brands are wrong

Social & Media are two words that don’t fit together at all. Social is about people. About life. About real interactions. Real conversations. Media means “how many should I pay to reach people that don’t want to be reached by me. People that don’t want to see me. People that don’t care about me”. The rise of paid media, how the kpi’s are named on social media (likes, fans, engagement…) and how Social Media are built push brands to do wrong things. To believe wrong things. And to forget the one that matters.
