See if you can spot the hidden messages before checking out the explanations in the infographic. Facebook is a global phenomenon and Ian Henderson explains how the social media platform used the "local is lekker" principle to hit 500 million users in two years. Pendorings... The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly... This year's Pendoring Advertising Awards ended up being a triumph (The Good) for some and a wake-up call (The Bad and The Ugly) for others, with a total of five categories, according to judges, receiving no entries deemed to be worthy of an award.
