By our African Marketing Confederation News Team | 2026
TMSA is looking for the campaigns that shifted a market, the brands that earned trust, and the people who set the standard.
The Tanzania Marketing Science Association (TMSA), a member of the African Marketing Confederation, is calling for nominations for its 2026 awards to be held in November.
The Tanzania Marketing Awards celebrate excellence, originality and impact across the country’s marketing industry – the campaigns that shifted a market, the brands that earned trust, and the people who set the standard.

“From breakthrough campaigns to the creators, agencies and leaders behind them – nominate the best of Tanzania’s marketing. Nominate someone doing great work or put your own team forward,” TMSA says.
According to the association, nominating is open to everyone and costs nothing. Interested organisations or individuals must submit an entry and the TMSA panel screens and shortlists across every category. Shortlisted entries are then invited to the judging and ceremony stages.
Total of 76 awards and 17 award families
In all, there are 76 categories and 17 award families. The award families include: Tourism, Travel & Hospitality Marketing; Media, Advertising & Production; Marketing Leadership & Talent; Marketing Community Leadership; and Influencer & Creator-Led Marketing.
“The journey of progress is always a choice between action or inaction. We often tend to think the cost of action and forget the cost of inaction,” says Professor Emmanuel Chao, Chairman of TMSA.
“The journey has just begun, and we are looking forward to a moment of recognition of excellence for brands, campaigns and individuals who are bringing impact to their organisations and community at large.”
