AdFocus editor David Furlonger says: "Every one of our finalists is outstanding. I suspect a couple of our eventual agency winners will come as a surprise to some but our awards recognise all-round excellence, including business growth, client relationships, creative excellence and social responsibility. Ours is not a beauty contest."
Before the awards are presented, guests will enjoy a presentation by Emma Wilkie, MD of the UK-based Gunn Report, on the best of global advertising. Furlonger and The Annual editor Jeremy Maggs will co-host proceedings, which will also feature a performance by local Indie-Afro-Jazz group The Muffinz.
The awards will take place at RoomFive in Rivonia. This exclusive event is by invitation but a limited number of tickets are available for sale.
