book your spot for the Bizcommunity Cannes Lions Case Studies 2016, to be presented by our reporter-on-the-ground Ann Nurock, in both Cape Town and Johannesburg this month.
Click here for all the info you need on venues, dates, times and prices.
Keeping the focus on all things new, Beverley Klein chats to this week's
Newsmaker, Jacquie Myburgh Chemaly, about her core strategy for her new position as editor-in-chief of
Business Day Wanted at Times Media. She also gives a glimpse of what to expect from the upcoming launch of
wantedonline.co.za this August.
Federico Dedeu, head of MediaCom Beyond Advertising, breaks down an
effective content strategy for us, with particular focus on the Content Value Pyramid. He claims it can reduce waste and generate higher engagement by aligning output with true business objectives.
Then, as July is
#MandelaMonth, I delved into CNN International business correspondent Eleni Giokos' belief that
'Doing good' should be an everyday mantra, with a special focus on the uplifting power of motivational speaking and the importance of mentorship.
Rounding out the thought leadership, Louise Marsland's
Mobile Focus continues this week, featuring exclusive curated content and interviews with those in the mobile know - a must-read for any business.
Go forth and be brave in business!
