The Advertisers Association of Nigeria (ADVAN), the umbrella body for advertisers in Nigeria has moved the date for its prestigious African Awards for Marketing Excellence to the first from the last quarter of the year as it has done for more than a decade.
The association shared this information across its social media pages, citing that the new schedule date and timeline is a result of careful research and feedback from participants. It revealed that the event which will be in its 13th edition is scheduled to hold on the 22nd of February, 2025.
According to ADVAN, the timeline is to ensure all marketing campaigns and brand activities that run from January to December 2024, are completed and can be included in the awards.
It also added that it will release some very exciting new additions to awards in the coming weeks. Recall, last year, the association expanded the scope of its annual Marketing Excellence Awards with the addition of 6 new categories to give it a Pan-African scope.

With the addition of the six new categories in the last edition which held in 2023, the name of the prestigious marketing mudial ceased to be the ADVAN Awards for Marketing Excellence, taking the name, ADVAN African Awards for Marketing Excellence.
