The Experiential Marketers Association of Nigeria, EXMAN,
has rewarded various works of excellence within its industry through its maiden
awards which held recently at the Federal Palace Hotel in Victoria Island,
Lagos.
The awards which had
12 categories saw big winners emerge like EXP, GDM, Ideas House and TownCriers
while Keskese Limited were the overall winners with a Grand Prix for their job
on ‘MTN Noiseless Music’.
Of the 12 categories, there were no nominations for three
categories by the Idorenyen Enang-led panel of judges while the EXMAN Life Time
Achievement Award was given to Chris Parkes for his contribution to the
industry.
In the same vein, the Managing Director of Ideas House, Mr.
Kehinde Salami who emerged the new president of the association, was sworn into
office at the awards ceremony.
Other elected members that constitute the new excos for the
association include Tolulope Medebem; Vice-President, Angela Ukara-Makinwa;
General Secretary, Owolabi Mustapha; Financial Secretary and Gil Kemami;
Publicity secretary.
Mr. Kayode Olagesin and Dr. Rotimi Olaniyan, both EXMAN past
presidents, were unanimously elected new trustees replacing Chris Parkes and
Ehi Braimah for a three year term while the new excos are elected for a one
year renewable term.
In his inaugural speech as the President of the association,
Kehinde Salami expressed his pleasure at his election and praised the effort of
his predecessors at taking EXMAN to the heights attained in the last four
years, noting that, “The baby which was born and nurtured by my predecessors,
Mr. Kayode Olagesin, our first president and more recently, Dr. Rotimi
Olaniyan, is now happily crawling with notable features” he said.
“Our industry is a unique one, playing an increasingly
leading role in growing Nigerian brands through meaningful experience. Because
marketing is beyond exposure to engagements, the constant demand for our
industry expertise is growing exponentially and our responsibility lies in our
ability to properly organize ourselves, play vital roles and deliver inspiring
works.
Kehinde further expressed his readiness to work closely with
the association’s excos in institutionalizing desired changes in EXMAN.
“My tenure will usher in a new and renewed vigour for
professionalism, integrity, training, capacity building and the pursuit of a
single basic interest tariff and to partner with government at all levels.
“The Excos and I will
deliberate extensively on a wide range of programmes we will action embedded
within a larger blueprint.”
