Neo Media and Marketing last night held a grand reception to
usher in the newly elected President of the Advertisers Association of Nigeria,
ADVAN, David Okeme who is also the Brand Building Director at Unilever Plc.
Okeme became the new ADVAN President after he managed to
squeeze out a slim victory over another top shot in the industry, Onyekachi
Onubogu, Director, Commercial, Promasidor Nigeria at the AGM of the
association.
At the reception were a host of industry big names, most of
whom have had some level of relationship with the new President, especially in
the line of duty. Some of the people who spoke expressed their utmost respect
for Okeme, praising him as a man of high integrity and strict work ethics.
Kelechi Nwosu, Managing Director of TBWA/Concept and
President, Association of Advertising Agencies of Nigeria, AAAN, express
confidence in the ability of Okeme to deliver on his promises and take ADVAN to
the next level. He also looked forward to a healthy working relationship and
collaboration between the AAAN and ADVAN under Okeme’s leadership.
The presence of big names from across all the sections of
the integrated marketing communication industry at the reception was indeed a
testimony of Okeme’s appeal and admiration by IMC practitioners from both the
agencies and clients’ side.
And the occasion afforded the Unilever top shot to again
articulate his plans for the association. “One of the things that ADVAN will
look into is how to leverage on the industry such that we can build greater
efficiency in terms of advertising returns,” Okeme said.
Also elected to serve in the new ADVAN with Okeme are Joan
Ihekwaba, General Manager, Marketing, UACN Foods, 1st Vice President, Bimbo
Alabi, Marketing Manager, SoKlin 2nd Vice-President, Bukunola Ogunnusi PR &
Advert Manager, Toyota Nigeria, Treasurer and Samson Oloche Marketing Manager,
