Nedbank IMC 2022 conference paper captures marketing relevance
The 2022 conference paper has been developed in collaboration with Meltwater, the global leader in social and media intelligence, and authored by Dr Caitlin Ferreira, senior lecturer at the Graduate School of Business University of Cape Town and lecturer in marketing at the Luleå University of Technology.

Katherine McInnes who is the Meltwater head of marketing Africa, notes in the paper’s foreword that with the marketing landscape, “constantly changing and the volume of information and data increasing dramatically year on year, it is essential that brands cut through the noise.” The Nedbank IMC 2022 sought to unpack just how this could be achieved by marketers, and the white paper accurately captures this intent.
The paper gathers together the insights of 23 thought leaders into six “relevance” perspectives. These include relevance as the “new reach”; the irrelevance of silos; how to remain relevant for the youth; relevance in terms of context, inclusion and cultural relevance; the relevance of emotion; and how relevance emerges through value creation.
With key “step-by-step” action points and important takeaways at the conclusion of each topic, the paper forms an insightful yet accessible resource that marketers can continually refer to as they craft their marketing messages.
Dale Hefer, CEO of the Nedbank IMC, says that the compilation of the white paper at the conclusion of each conference is an important output of the Nedbank IMC vision: “Marketing is BusinessTM”. The paper helps sustain important marketing conversations long after the conference has ended.
Of the 2022 conference paper Dale says, “We knew that this year’s conference theme of marketing relevance would give rise to multifaceted and sometimes complex considerations. The incredible value that our thought leaders delivered on the day is captured perfectly in the white paper.”
