Launch of BizTrends2017

A very Happy New Year to all our readers, on this, our first working Monday of 2017. As our daily readers would have noticed, we've been back at work for a week already, tracking industry trends for our special annual BizTrends2017, featuring industry trends from thought leaders in the media and marketing industry in South Africa and Africa.

We hope all our readers will have a good year, filled with opportunities for themselves and their brands.

All the best for 2017!
