Handing over the certificates, AMC President, Helen McIntee, said there was growing interest across Africa in the AMC.  

 

“Look how many new members there are here tonight. It’s going from strength to strength, it’s fantastic,” she said. “Look at how we have grown since last year’s conference in Entebbe, Uganda.” 

 

The number of marketing bodies now within the African Marketing Confederation fold stands at 16. 

 

Founded in 2011, the AMC is a collaboration between the various national marketing bodies and associations to exchange expertise and information, as well as to promote the marketing profession as a whole. 

 

By unifying the bodies in the various countries, the AMC is positioned to exchange expertise and information, provide intellectual capital, and ensure that the continent has a platform for like-minded marketing professionals at the highest level.
