Staff WriterBrand Africa has announced the launch of the inaugural Africa CMO 100 (ACMO100), a new initiative recognising the 100 most impactful marketing, brand and reputation leaders shaping Africa’s global narrative, identity and economic progress. Namibia is represented on the list by marketing executive Tim Ekandjo, alongside a diverse group of leaders from across Southern Africa. The ACMO100 builds on over 15 years of research by Brand Africa, which shows a persistent gap between belief in the continent and the prominence of its brands. According to Brand Africa founder and chairman Thebe Ikalafeng, chief marketing officers and senior brand leaders play a pivotal role in shaping perceptions and influencing consumer trust across the continent. Regionally, Southern Africa leads with 39 honourees, largely driven by South Africa, which alone accounts for 31% of those recognised.
