IAB SA Transformation Council Calls for Nominations of New Members
The IAB South Africa is calling on members to nominate their industry peers for a seat on the IAB SA Transformation Council. Chaired by Veli Ngubane, Founding Partner and Chief Creative Officer of the Avatar Agency Group, the Transformation Council is tasked with galvanizing the industry to embrace transformation through the action of tangible steps that champion diversity and inclusivity.
The Transformation Council aims to catalyse transformation in the industry by creating access and value within the IAB network, as well as facilitating the training and upskilling of young black creatives in the digital marketing industry, so that they can participate and contribute to the digital economy. We’re looking for members who understand the need for diversity and inclusion and who care enough about the future of the industry to partake in the transformation conversation” says Ngubane.
2021 is set to be an exciting year for the Transformation Council with numerous projects in the pipeline. These include the relaunch of the council with a 50/50 gender split, and the rolling-out of an annual transformation survey in partnership with relevant industry bodies. The council, as part of their work with the MAC Charter Council, will also focus on increasing reporting and data around transformation targets and achievements of IAB SA members, and in partnership with IAB SA members, will also raise funds for digital media and marketing courses of ten black female students.
The Council seats will be reflective of the IAB SA Transformation objectives, as well as representative of the IAB SA membership including Agencies, Publishers, Brands, Platforms, Specialists and Education company seats. Seats will all also be reserved for two qualifying #FrontRow candidates, who do not need to be IAB SA members, as part of our access and value platform, as well as an IAB SA Youth Action Council seat representative.
The IAB SA is accepting nominations until 13 November, and members will be announced on 20 November. You can access the nomination form below.
Many thanks and keep safe,
Team IAB SA
