All the Marketing Excellence Awards winners

Van Kralingen receives the inaugural Chairman's Award as a first rate marketing professional who now is the executive head of a major-quoted company that distinctly recognises the value and importance of King II and the Triple Bottom Line, and who presides over the affairs of the company at executive level, playing a seminal role in the boardroom.

Standard Bank won Marketing Organisation as it "embraced the principles of marketing with purpose and clear objectives. It tackled a confusing multi-brand group of businesses and pulled them together to create synergies within the company and a clear understanding of their intent across all stakeholder groups."

Marketing Person was awarded to Michael Joubert who "has demonstrated a commitment to marketing over many years and across diverse industry sectors. He has a strong sense of marketing international brands within a South African context. He has superior marketing skills, a passion for the discipline of marketing and for the brands that he represents."

The Marketing Excellence Awards have benchmarked excellence in the industry since 1962. They are back on track this year through the patronage of the Sunday Times and Business Times, other sponsors plus SETA and JSE support.
