Incepta Communications’ Managing Director, Thabo Majola shared that the event was all about sharing skills and knowledge on how clients can build and create value for their brands.
Said Thabo Majola, “We often refer to ourselves as the ‘home of experts’ and take deep pride in nurturing young qualified individuals into professional specialists in their area of practice. I’m delighted for us to have finally successfully hosted our inaugural M&A Summit and believe it allowed us to showcase some of Incepta’s finest experts in the PR, Marketing and Creative sectors. It was a purposeful morning full of new and varied perspectives and I encourage everyone who could not attend to watch the conference on our FB Pages.”
In his presentation at the M&A Summit, Majola shared insights on what he believes makes purposeful brands and what brands need to do to remain relevant and thrive in today’s ever evolving climate. He further explained that knowing your brand’s purpose also allows you to understand how you can adapt to your target audience’s needs as they change and evolve. “A brand’s purpose should be used to define not only these things but everything that your company does moving forward — from marketing to hiring and even go as far as shaping the CSR activities you take part in”, expressed Thabo.
