IAB SA Education council
The IAB South Africa calls on members to nominate their industry peers for a seat on the IAB SA Education Council. The Education Council is tasked with galvanising the industry to support the development of industry-specific occupational qualifications that meet the ever-growing and evolving industry needs and skills gap areas, while ensuring diversity and inclusion at every level.
"The Education Council aims to accelerate skills development in the industry by creating access and value within the IAB network. Our prerogative includes facilitating the training and up-skilling of young black creatives in the digital marketing industry so that they can participate and contribute to the digital economy," says Su Little, IAB SA Education Council lead.
"We’re looking for members who understand the need for industry diversity and inclusion, mentorship of young talent, alongside skills development in emerging innovative technologies, and who care enough about the future of the industry to partake in addressing these needs proactively and productively,” adds Little.
2023 is set to be an exciting year for the Education Council with numerous projects in the pipeline.

IAB SA Content Marketing council
Content marketing has historically been underrepresented in the South African advertising industry, and frequently misunderstood by agencies and brands alike. One of the reasons is that it has the ubiquitous word ‘content’ in its name. But not all content is created equally, and not all content constitutes content marketing.
The council seeks to develop content marketing as a unique, independent discipline and an effective tool for brands to communicate with their audiences and deliver on business objectives.
2023 is set to be an exciting year for the Content Marketing committee which will play a critical role in key areas.
