The Managing Director of the Labadi Beach Hotel, David Eduaful, has emerged the Marketing Man of the Year, to mark his exceptional leadership and strategic vision of his over three-decade career.

The Marketing Woman of the Year went to the Managing Director of Primetime Limited, Nana Akua Mensa-Bonsu, who has over the past 25 years demystified the fear of Mathematics and Science in second cycle institutions through the National Science and Maths Quiz, a competition that brings together the best brains in Science and

The two were given an award at the 35th Chartered Institute of Marketing Ghana (CIMG) National Marketing and Performance Awards in Accra last Saturday, which also honoured 52 other individuals and corporate bodies.
It was on the theme: “Harnessing the power of AI as a transformative tool for marketers”.
