The top award will once again be the prized Marketer of the Year, which recognises the individual marketing professional who has demonstrated unrivalled excellence in their field. 

A rising star who shows exceptional promise and potential will be honoured with the Emerging Marketer of the Year award, while the Marketing Student of the Year category celebrates the outstanding achievements of marketing students who are the future of the industry.

Other award categories include the Corporate Marketing Team of the Year, which recognises the collaborative efforts of a high-performing marketing team within a corporation. The Lifetime Achievement Award is presented to a seasoned marketing professional in recognition of their lifelong contribution to the field.

“We would like to invite the industry to be a part of this celebration by nominating exceptional colleagues or teams for the prestigious IMM Marketing Excellence Awards,” states Irene Gregory, CEO at the IMM.

Three finalists will be selected for each category. The winners will be announced at a gala event that forms part of the annual IMM Marketing Conference.

This year’s conference, which takes place at the IMM Graduate School in Johannesburg, will be held under the theme ‘Global Thoughts, Local Leaders’.

Recognised as a not-to-be-missed annual platform for all levels of marketing professionals across South Africa to learn and network, the 2023 event will explore new marketing technologies. These include artificial intelligence (AI), augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), voice search optimisation, and personalisation. 

The conference will offer practical case studies, panel discussions and insights from international and local industry experts who will share their thoughts on what it means to be a marketer in 2023.
