In an increasingly connected marketplace and a world of “sameness”, marketing professionals strive harder than ever to stand out and produce better results. To achieve this, marketers need to stay at the forefront of market trends, branding and the integrated communications landscape. “Marketing Indaba’s programme and content will supply marketers with fresh ideas and key considerations to elevate marketing strategies and ultimately improve the bottom line,” says Chris de Klerk, creator and programme director of Marketing Indaba.

“Attending the Marketing Indaba was probably the best thing we have done for our business in a long time. It made us realise our marketing mistakes and although we knew that we needed to be unique, we weren’t bringing this into our marketing properly. Since attending the conference and implementing the changes, we realised that our website traffic has almost doubled and the amount of sign up forms completed on our website have grown by 20%. This was achieved in 6 months and we haven’t even implemented everything that we have learnt from the speakers!”
