Digital dominates Last week Kantar Millward Brown announced South Africa's Top 10 Best Liked Ads for Q1 and Q2 2017. In number one spot for quarter one is ‘The Best Things Come in Glass' for client Consol Glass by agency Grey Advertising, and taking first place in quarter two is ‘Tougher-er my Son' for Toyota Hilux by FCB Joburg. Storytelling is still huge, and food and car commercials have done particularly well this year. Download Kantar Millward Brown's latest research report to find out why advertising works best when it makes a memorable and lasting impression. Events-wise, the 9th Most Awards, which recognise and rank the service efficacy of South African-based media owner sales teams and their media agency partners, were held at The Wanderers Club in Johannesburg on Thursday. Massiv Media was announced the Media Owner of the Year and PHD the Media Agency of the Year. Click here to view the full list of this year's winners. In terms of upcoming events, the New Generation Social & Digital Media Awards has announced this year's finalists, of which the winners will be revealed at the Montecasino Ballroom later this month. Then, internally, keeping to the #InnovationMonth theme, Leigh Andrews goes behind the selfie with Darren Mansour, digital director at So Interactive digital agency, who believes that as a creative, with the right idea, self-education and a brilliant portfolio, you can make a huge impact. Angie White chats to ROI Africa MD Tonya Khoury, in a three-part series, about the ins and outs of media monitoring, how AVE fits into it all (and if it should), the need for regulation in the industry, and what this all means for Bizcommunity and our clients. And I interviewed Kevin Welman, co-founder of ByDesign Communications, the SABRE EMEA Best New PR Consultancy in 2017, who recently celebrated its first year of business. Enjoy reading.
