Harding started the show by hosting in studio, Ben Wagner (@BenWagner), one of the founding members at Native VML (@Native). He chatted to Ben about the upcoming 7th annual Digital Edge (@digitedge) event happening on 9 September at the Sandton Convention Centre.

Then we shifted our attention to The IMC Conference (@IMCconference), taking place on 3 and 4 August at the CTICC in Cape Town. The IMC, now in its fifth year, is a two-day event that takes place in Durban, Cape Town and Johannesburg. The conference aims to expose delegates to the latest IMC trends by educating, entertaining and engaging them with the incredible line-up of industry experts, the unique event format and the customised workshops feature.

We were joined by two of the event's keynote speakers, Enzo Scarcella, CMO of Telkom as well as Mel Attree (@melattree), Director of Content Strategy at Ogilvy Cape Town (@OgilvyCT).
