Hip Hip Hooray for the winners of PromaxBDA! Last Friday saw PromaxBDA Africa, which brings creatives together to explore thought-leadership, technology and the latest developments in the media marketing sector, take place at the Maslow Hotel in Sandton, Johannesburg. Congratulations to all the winners! Talking about awards, another big congratulations to the winners of the 2014 CNBC Africa All Africa Business Leaders Awards Presented by Johnnie Walker Blue Label (AABLAs)! In the 2014 Brand Africa 100 rankings of the most admired and most valuable brands in sub-Saharan Africa, MTN came out tops. In the overall rankings, Coca-Cola toppled Nokia as the most admired brand in Africa, while MTN moved up a spot in the admiration ranks among Africans. In other news, Leigh Andrews chatted to Gareth Leck, agency CEO and Pepe Marais, Chief Creative Officer of Joe Public. Apart from moving to a new premises, the agency has seen some great growth this year. Finally, if you missed last week's Biz Takeouts show, make sure you listen to the podcast which is now available.
