Image supplied.
This is the 12th edition of the awards that recognise social and digital media in South Africa.
Stephen Paxton, founder of the awards, remarks on the exceptional quality of this year's submissions.
He highlights the innovative and engaging work displayed by many new agencies and corporates, that represent some of South Africa’s best-loved brands.
The analysis of numerous submissions indicates an increasing prevalence of influencer marketing, technical innovation, and strategic employment of content marketing.
The pivotal role of virality in numerous campaigns is notable, particularly in the success of low-budget executions.
Additionally, a growing number of brands are venturing into the realm of podcasting.
The 2024 awards gala ceremony will be hosted at NH Sandton, (Previously the Hilton Hotel) on Thursday, 26 September.
