Marketing & Media Africa

Putting Africa in the spotlight

The Loeries 2015 Creative Week in Durban took place this past weekend - view all the winners from Saturday and Sunday night, as well as all the coverage on the event in our special section.

During the Unilever South Africa annual networking brunch, the FMCG company used the opportunity to showcase the work of four directors from the Academy for African Filmmakers (AAF), announced as winners at this year's Cannes in June.

Meanwhile, Esther Karuku dives into the world of product placement in tv shows and movies, especially the emergence of this in Kenyan productions.

The Vox Africa team take a closer look into the Kenyan government's very own advertising agency. Mid-last year, the media fraternity in Kenya was stunned that agencies would be directed to channel all their advertising media investments through a centralised body - the Government Advertising Agency.
