As the year draws to a close, we’re taking a moment to reflect on what Women in Marketing Africa has built and delivered in 2025. It’s been a year of progress, meaningful access, and conversations that move the industry forward. None of this would have been possible without the support of you, the WiM Africa community ,and our partners. Thank you for backing the work, and the women behind it.
Earlier this month, I had the privilege of attending what can only loosely be described as an “industry event.” I say loosely because WPP’s Stream Africa - held this year in Johannesburg - defies easy categorisation. It’s part conference, part creative retreat, part experiment in collective intelligence. Imagine a space where media, marketing, technology, and human curiosity collide - then add Fireside chats around actual campfires (when the weather allowed), canoeing, and conversations about everything from the gambling epidemic to women’s health to the existential mysteries of Gen Z.
The 2025 Global WiM Awards shortlist has been announced, celebrating women who continue to inspire through their creativity, leadership, and impact. This year’s theme — The Year of Age — invites us to reflect on experience, wisdom, and the power of evolution, recognising how age, in all its forms, shapes perspective, innovation, and influence. Across Africa, this year’s shortlisted women are redefining what it means to grow, adapt, and thrive in our industry. As we count down to the Awards Ceremony, we honour their journeys and the enduring mark they are making on marketing, communications, and the wider creative economy. We spoke with Venus Tawiah - Agency Lead at Now Available Africa in Ghana.
