Forbes Africa AdAwards originally scheduled for 8 November, made its
official debut at the 'All Africa Business Leaders Awards' (AABLA) Finale
on the 25th of October 2012 which was hosted by ABN Productions, the
events arm of leading business brands such as CNBC Africa and Forbes
Africa.
The AABLA's aim to recognise African Business Leaders who work towards
making a difference throughout the African economy. This served as the
perfect platform for the two categories in the Forbes Africa AdAwards, as
all the categories in AABLA celebrate leaders in business.
The Forbes Africa AdAwards winners in each category are:
Forbes Africa Advertising Leader of the Year:
Bharat Thakrar, CEO, Scangroup
Forbes Africa Agency Network of the Year:
Ogilvy & Mather Africa
"This year we were privileged to have the support of some of the biggest
names in the advertising industry on our judging panel as well as the
commitment from our key sponsor, Eskom," said Davlynne Lidbetter, General
Manager of Forbes Africa.
