Last night was Tony Koendermans Ad Review Awards. The Awards give recognition to the ad agencies and individuals that have performed best during the previous full calendar year – from January to December 2011
Ogilvy South Africa picked up the 2011 Marketing Group of the year award. Our ever wonderful CEO Abey Mokgwatsane, sent a message to all staff saying
“Awards like this would not come without the tenacious commitment of our people to our business and our clients. It was an absolute honour to receive the award on your behalf. Thank you. It’s also worth noting that Ogilvy South Africa is the Leading Agency at Apex – the industry’s Strategy and Effectiveness Awards and also the Leading Agency on the AdReview creative league table. This confirms our Twin Peaks objective of being the most creative and effective agency in the country.”
Our group Chairman, Nunu Ntshingila received a Lifetime Achievement Award at the 10th Annual AdReview Awards last night. Tony Koenderman, in his announcement speech, said "Nunu had taken over the largest communications group in the country and made it even stronger, earning the love and respect of her colleagues and competitors along the way."
What makes Nunu’s journey even more incredible is that she started off her career as a trainee account executive at Ogilvy. As an agency we stand on your shoulders as you continue to inspire us, from us all at Ogilvy, thank you, we salute you.
