Bizcommunity to amplify Financial Mail AdFocus Awards

As usual there is much anticipation as to who will get to own categories such as large-, medium-, small-, media-, specialist-, PR, etc. for 2016.
According to the organisers, the annual awards not only award the best of the best in the industry, but are also a reflection of the industry itself.
Ann Nurock, Africa partner at Relationship Audits and former CEO of Grey South Africa/ Canada, will cover the event on Bizcommunity’s behalf. Nurock says you can’t underestimate the importance of these awards in terms of their reputation-building benefits and new business enquiries.
This year, the new Public Relations category replaces Branding & Design, whose agencies now compete for the Specialist award. Also new this year is the sponsorship of the Partnership of the Year Award of a R100,000 of client-agency performance measurement consultancy by new sponsor, The Observatory International.
