"The Africa Question"
The first digibate, hosted by radio personality Soli Philander, will be centred on "The Africa Question" and will bring up for discussion:
- What are the core digital marketing challenges
- What is the main technology platforms driving growth on digital marketing in Africa?
- What is the current level of digital skills across the continent and how does this influence strategies
- How do marketing communication strategies differ across the various African regions?
- With the fragmentation of channels (300+ TV stations, and radio stations), how does this affect what is done on digital channels?
