ABOUT THE AWARDS
The Mark Awards returns for its second edition, celebrating the people, ideas and partnerships shaping the future of South African marketing, advertising and communications.
Recognising excellence across Strategy, Design, Experience, Innovation, Technology, Leadership, and Impact & Purpose, The Mark Awards honours work that delivers meaningful business outcomes while pushing the industry forward.
From bold creative thinking and transformative technology to exceptional leadership and purpose-driven impact, the awards shine a light on the collaborative teams redefining how brands connect, engage and grow.
Event Highlights: A Celebration in Three Acts
Dinner & Celebration | 19h00 onwards
As evening arrives, guests will gather at The Mark Awards' signature long tables for an elegant three-course dining experience prepared by established Franschhoek chefs and paired with exceptional local wines.
From 20h30, acclaimed electric cellist Carol Thorns provides the soundtrack to the evening as our jazz-inspired after-party invites guests to linger a little longer, reconnect with old friends, make new ones and celebrate everyone who makes the work work.
