statement by the AGM planning committee chairman and Vice president of Exman
Abiodun Oshinibosi, “The world has changed. The COVID-19 public
health crisis and its fall out have unleashed unprecedented disruptions to
the way business marketing and consumer interaction must now be managed. It
would seem that the odds are stacked heavily against experiential
marketing and live consumer engagement practitioners globally. The entire
marketing industry in Nigeria is particularly hard hit by these new
realities and now stands challenged to re-invent itself.
“To overcome this new reality
both brand owners, agencies and value chain partners alike must defy gravity
and re-configure their service value proposition away from synchronous
interaction platforms towards more asynchronous processes. This conference brings
together keynote speakers and leading industry thinkers to find a way through.
This conference will benefit anybody interested in marketing within Nigeria and
sub saharan Africa.”
EXMAN is the
sectoral trade body for forward-looking experiential marketing communications
agencies in Nigeria. The association protects, promotes and regulates the
activities of certified players within the experiential marketing industry in
Nigeria. It has 45 member agencies and boast of over thirty billion naira as
