The theme of the virtual conference “Africa to the World”, is being spearheaded by the IAA on its global compass platform, showcasing the thought-leadership and insights across the continent and dial the significance of Brands as The Engine Of Economic Revival in Africa.
In this COVID-19 era, it is crucial that Business Leaders across the continent work in unison together with Governments to ensure a united voice that resonates across the globe.
It is about time that African Brands are recognized for their potential and spirit. It is time that African Brands start rubbing shoulders with other big giants through their success stories. By evaluating and valuing brands, we provide a body of research on what makes a brand strong and valuable.
