Africa-Press<\/a> – Malawi<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Standard Bank Plc has announced its partnership with Malawi\u2019s marketers as Principal sponsor of this year\u2019s Institute of Marketing in Malawi Marketers (IMM) Lakeshore Conference and Annual Marketing Excellence Awards next month.<\/p>\n

As part of the partnership with IMM, Standard Bank has invested K7 million towards the event under the theme; \u201cGet Set to Re-set: Pivoting Businesses for Success,\u201d from October 28 to 30, 2021 at Sunbird Livingstonia Beach Hotel in Salima.<\/p>\n

Speaking when the bank presented its sponsorship package, Head of Brand and Marketing, Thokozani Mijiga Unyolo said: \u201cWe are proud to be associated with efforts by the IMM to develop professional excellence in the marketing sciences, and with the progress the body is making to build brands.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a brand whose purpose is to drive the growth of our home, Mother Malawi, we believe that professionalism in marketing will positively translate to economic growth.\u201d<\/p>\n

Welcoming the package, IMM Public Relations Director and 2021 Conference Organising Committee Chairperson, George Damson said Standard Bank\u2019s partnership offers a timely boost to the organisation\u2019s budget for the annual event.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are greatly indebted to Standard Bank for the timely boost as we prepare for our annual conference. Organising an event of this magnitude is financially taxing and this sponsorship is the shot in the arm we needed.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will go a long way in enabling us to host what we expect to be a very exciting conference. Standard Bank Malawi have set the tone for this year\u2019s conference and we hope other potential partners will be inspired by their gesture to come on board and support us,\u201d he said<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s conference is expected to draw speakers from beyond Malawi\u2019s borders, who will complement an equally powerful line up of local speakers. The speeches will cover a wide range of topics meant to equip Malawian marketers with the knowledge they need to steer their organisations to success during times when business has been affected by Covid-19.<\/p>\n

The annual event also encompasses Marketing Excellence Awards, a ceremony that recognizes marketers that have excelled in executing notable and impactful professional interventions on the market.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
