1ST ANNIVERSARY EVENT

BANA is officially 1 year old as of the 4th of August 2023.

To mark this milestone, we have planned an event themed “Against All Odds” .

This event will be used to take stock of the state of advertising in South Africa, to recognise the resilience shown by the Black-owned agencies despite the challenging operating conditions, and to assist Black-owned agencies to prepare for the imminent trends that will have a direct impact on the industry and by extension their businesses.
