By our African Marketing Confederation News Team | 2024

Issue 1 2024 of Strategic Marketing for Africa, the magazine for deep-thinking industry professionals, provides in-depth insights.

The latest issue of Strategic Marketing for Africa, the quarterly magazine of the African Marketing Confederation (AMC), is now available online via the AMC website. This issue remains current until the end of June 2024.

Issue 1 2024 (and the 11th magazine since the revival of the AMC as the pan-African marketing body) is packed with marketing-related news, in-depth features, and thought-leadership content from across Africa. Here are some of the highlights of the latest issue.

Marketers embrace the BAL
Our cover story on sports marketing analyses the rise in popularity of the Basketball Africa League and the slick marketing that accompanies it. Is it proving to be a slam dunk for corporate sponsors and brands who want to be along for the ride?

 

Nostalgia in marketing
Do you embrace brands that make you feel connected to your roots and hark back to simpler times? A great many consumers do, so marketers are seeing the opportunity and playing on nostalgic memories of the ‘good old days’.

Marketing as a force for good
Encouraging over-consumption and over-spending – to the detriment of all – are accusations frequently levelled at the marketing profession. So, are we in denial or becoming a force for good? African and international marketers and academics give their opinions.
