Kantar treated the Top 30 most valuable South African brands to a red carpet experience at the #OscarsOfMarketing. The event was attended by the top movers and shakers in the industry, and everyone was keen to discover the secret of success in creating value for their brand and connections that matter with their consumers. Ilse Dinner, Marketing & Communications Director, Middle East & Africa, Insights Division, shared "It was great to welcome South Africa's most valuable brands in person with our radio hosts from StarFM. The morning was flavoured with South African undertones of pantsula dancers, ululating ladies, gold miner memes, and a 'lekker' goodie bag for the brands to sport their stash, all hosted at our fabulous designer offices in Bryanston." #WeAreKantar
