The conference is scheduled to hold from 26 – 28 August 2018 at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Lagos, Nigeria.
The theme for this year’s conference ‘A Billion Africans, The Billion Dollar Media Question, Media Data and Analytics for Change’ will explore a 360% view of how to effectively use media research and measurement to drive relevance, creativity and innovation in advertising and media planning ̶ now and in the future.
The organisers in a statement said it welcomes all original and exciting presentations regarding measurement innovation, research-on-research, best practice and business case studies from professionals engaged in the field of media research.
Calibre of papers in the past according to the statement has been consistently high, with the presentation of case studies and research findings ranging from the innovative use of data to media measurement models and fake news to changing expectations in a digital world.
Last year Nanzala Mwaura, Director Connect of Ipsos SA, was awarded Best Paper for her well-received talk on The African Middle Class, which looked into how we can define a class across 54 diverse countries on the continent.
Other highlights included an exploration by Wayne L. Hull, MD and Head of Accenture Digital, into how consumer expectations are beginning to transcend traditional industry boundaries, while Leana Less, Cocoa Cola’s VP for global connections and media, presented fascinating findings on the increasing importance of data for consumer marketing.
