How do you make work that doesn't just sell, but stays?
That was the question. This is where we start finding the answer.
In this episode, I sat with a book written by two people who have spent decades inside the African marketing industry, not studying it from the outside, but building it. Prof. Robert Ebo Hinson and Joel Nettey put 150 rules on paper, so the next generation doesn't have to figure it all out from scratch.
And here is what those rules are really saying.
African marketing doesn't need to borrow frameworks from markets that look nothing like ours. The landscape, the culture, the trust dynamics are different here. And the executives who understand that are the ones making work that lasts.
This is Episode 1 of The Making - a series where I go through Rules for the Marketing Communications Executive, rule by rule, and show you what they look like in the real world.
This is the beginning of a new dawn.
