Business as usual It's still the beginning of the year, so there's the usual restructuring, retrenching, discontinued magazines and new appointments, launches, milestones and journ awards. And the SABC circus continues - need I say more? - and Cell C continues to court active dislike, thanks to its talking magazine ads - need I say more?More importantly, the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) of South Africa is calling for public submissions for changes to the Code of Advertising Practice (deadline: 28 February 2011) and the Marketing Association of South Africa [MA(SA)] is urgently calling for comments and suggestions on the proposed regulations issued by the Department of Trade & Industry to control all promotional competitions, as part of the Consumer Protection Act (deadline: tomorrow, Tuesday 25 January). The countdown to this year's Design Indaba Conference and Exhibition stands at just a month away, so if you've not bought tickets, you'd better make a plan to do so fast! Finally, we're reaching the end of our annual Biz Trends series, and soon a handy pdf, collating all of these trends pieces in one place, will be made available for those of you who prefer to sit down with a bottomless cup of coffee and read them all in one go until the wee hours of the morning... Here's to another great week! Simone Puterman (@SimoneBiz) Managing editor PS The latest Ornico Ad Showcase features TV ads for Red Bull, IEC, Transnet, Wimpy and Alfa Romeo Giuletta, and radio ads for Shoprite, Transnet, Steers, McDonalds and Vodacom.
