The Marketing Edge Award for Marketing Excellence is an annual event to celebrate practitioners in the marketing and advertising professions who have excelled in their various fields of practice. The event included a National Marketing Stakeholders Summit on Brands.

Commenting on the awards, Rotimi Bankole, MD/CEO SBI Media said “undoubtedly, awards such as this are not gratuitous, they are earned. They are also a result of a team effort as opposed to an individual one; no matter how sterling such effort is. It is with this in mind that I dedicate this award to you all as a sign of ‘result-of-hard work’. You deserve the best recognition and I think you must have it.

As they say, with such accolades comes higher responsibilities. What this means is that we will need to consolidate these gains, double our efforts and ensure that not only do we keep these titles next year, we must strive to win even some more.”

Olaolu Abimbola, General Manager, SBI Media said “For me an award is not just a recognition of success but a point to greater responsibilities. Having celebrated the success of today,   the award is a reminder that tomorrow is another opportunity for the taking. To everyone who had sleepless nights building this dream and to everyone who can relate to the success behind the award, the future is just the beginning and tomorrow is a new dawn.”
