The Marketing Society of Kenya (MSK) is excited to announce the official launch of the 2024 MSK Annual Awards Gala with the Call for Entries, scheduled for today, 9th October 2024, at Weston Hotel, Nairobi. This event marks the opening of submissions for Kenya’s most prestigious marketing awards, which will culminate in the grand Awards Gala on 29th November 2024 at Mövenpick Hotel, Nairobi.
For over three decades, the MSK Annual Awards Gala has served as a hallmark event celebrating excellence in Kenya’s marketing industry. The Gala recognizes and honors the most innovative, creative, and impactful marketing campaigns, projects, and individuals who have significantly contributed to advancing the profession in the past year.
What started as an intimate celebration of marketing brilliance has grown into an industrywide spectacle, bringing together Kenya’s top marketers, brand leaders, agencies, and corporates. The MSK Awards Gala is the premier platform that showcases the power of marketing in shaping businesses, driving growth, and transforming consumer experiences.
This year’s theme, “Exploring New Frontiers,” reflects the dynamic and fast-evolving landscape of the marketing industry. In a world driven by digital innovation, changing consumer behaviours, and technological advancements, marketers are called to rethink their strategies and boldly explore new possibilities.
Speaking at the launch, MSK Chairperson Zuhura Odhiambo emphasized the significance of this theme: “‘Exploring New Frontiers’ is a challenge to all marketers to push the boundaries of creativity and strategy. This year, we are calling for campaigns that embrace innovation, leverage data, and build meaningful connections with consumers in ways we haven’t seen before. It’s about going beyond the conventional and reimagining what’s possible in the marketing world.”
2024 Annual Awards Gala Call For Entries
The 2024 theme urges marketers to not only adopt new technologies and digital tools but also explore the strategic frontiers of consumer engagement, purpose-driven marketing, and sustainability. As businesses continue to navigate global changes, marketing has the power to lead the charge in finding new ways to engage audiences and deliver value.
With the Call for Entries now officially open, MSK invites all Kenyan marketers, agencies, and corporates to submit their most impactful campaigns, projects, and innovations. Entries will be judged on creativity, effectiveness, and the ability to drive business results while pushing the industry forward. Submissions are open across multiple categories, including Digital Marketing, Integrated Campaigns, Brand Activations, and Social Impact Marketing, among others.
The 2024 MSK Awards Gala promises to be a night of glitz, glamour, and recognition of the best that Kenyan marketing has to offer. Winning an MSK Award is not only a mark of distinction but also an opportunity to inspire peers, set industry standards, and contribute to the ever-growing marketing landscape.
Meanwhile, the MSK has officially extended the final submission deadline for the 2024 MSK Annual Awards Gala entries to 4 November 2024, following its official launch on 9 October at Mövenpick Hotel, Nairobi.
