Group Strategy Director recognised as a top young South African

“Faced with fierce competition from thousands of entrants across over 15 categories, Partab’s contributions to the marketing field have truly made her stand out,” Wunderman says in a press release.

“The awards are known for recognising the visionary work of young professionals actively shaping South Africa’s future. They celebrate resilient, entrepreneurial, and innovative minds that offer robust solutions to societal challenges.”

Award serves as a beacon

Says Partab of her award: “It is a tremendous honour to be included among them. South Africa stands at a precipice, yearning for the promise and progress brought forth by future leaders. This serves as a beacon, shining a light on an alternative narrative that transcends despair and leads towards renewed hope in building a thriving, inclusive nation.”

In 2022, her work earned her a high commendation at the Global Women in Marketing, where she won the Strategy Planner of the Year Award. 

With an educational background that includes a BA (Hons) in Information Design from the University of Pretoria, Partab has held multiple senior and executive positions across Africa.

Partab advocates for representation and inclusion through her strategic work, speaking engagements and published writing. She serves as a member of the Women’s Charter and is on the Interactive Advertising Bureau’s Transformation Council.

An article by Partab will appear in the forthcoming issue (Issue 2 2023) of Strategic Marketing for Africa, the magazine of the African Marketing Confederation (AMC).
