The Industry Newspaper has announced the launch of Industry Men of Impact, a platform to recognise 50 male practitioners across the integrated marketing communications (IMC), entertainment, banking, telecommunications, entrepreneurship, tech and energy sectors.
The initiative joins the newspaper’s existing platforms such as The Industry Summit and Awards and The Industry Women Conference.
The inaugural edition will hold on Tuesday, November 4, at Radisson Blu, Isaac John, GRA, Ikeja, Lagos, beginning at 2 pm.
The event will feature a panel session before a plaque presentation to the selected practitioners.
The list of the top 50 male practitioners will be unveiled at a media conference in Lagos on Monday, September 22.
Editor-in-chief of The Industry Newspaper Goddie Ofose said the nominees were chosen by the editorial team and a group of brand and marketing journalists.
According to him, the selection covers professionals whose contributions are seen in areas such as driving industry growth, mentoring talent, shaping policies and standards, creating campaigns and content and promoting diversity, equity and inclusion.
Mr Ofose added that the platform also aims to highlight men who embody balanced lifestyles and well-being, as well as to encourage open conversations on men’s health and mental health.
He said recognising male practitioners can boost morale and inspire younger professionals in the industry.
