Ever since its inception, the Nedbank IMC has always had a particular focus on empowering the youth – a critical step for nurturing future leaders to take on a challenging marketing landscape. For the first time, the agenda will feature a dynamic youth panel, entitled: Appreciating Assets. Our rising stars speak out. Khensani Nobanda, Group executive: Group Marketing and Corporate Affairs, Nedbank Group Limited, will facilitate the panel with three top student marketing leaders.

Another first this year is what promises to be an engaging and fun 'real-time video challenge'. From a morning brief by Dale, ‘client’ Bridget Harper, ‘creator’ Darren Morris and ‘influencer’ Mbalenhle Bhengu will tackle the challenge head-on. Their final product and execution will then be discussed live on stage.
