On October 12 and 13, 2016 the Strategy & Marketing Think Tank Forum (SM2TF) hosted a very successful groundbreaking marketing indaba in Harare. It was a no holds barred engagement of minds with practitioners and academics debating and discussing real substance for business development through strategy, marketing and branding.
The Strategy & Marketing Think Tank Forum was challenged to take the fruitful discussions to an international platform. Mr Patrick Paradza experienced lecturer and accountant who attended and spoke at the Harare Indaba says, “To me the Indaba was an eye opener. It represented a coming together of experienced and aspiring marketers sharing ideas at a higher level and powerful platform. The presentations were a good blend of theory and practice, which to me are the two pillars of a modern professionalism.”
Robson Mhandu a re-knowned journalist, who is now marketing director at Zimbabwe Open University says, “It was an excellent well organised Indaba. Firm and effective time management is critical at such critical events to allow thorough discussion of all vital issues. This can be achieved through firm, efficient and effective chairpersons for each session.”
Tafadzwa Mukoyi an upcoming coach and business consultant who attended and chaired deliberations would concur with most delegates in saying that, “It was dynamic as the programme was holistic and presenters outdid themselves.” Dr Lawrence Mapaire a delegate and facilitator who travelled from South Africa felt that the indaba was value for money and commented that, “It was an eye opener to delegates. This vision for this forum is the solid foundation to inspire and champion success for Zimbabweans within and beyond.”
The London event is being billed as international and has a broader appeal.
The organisers of the event maintain that it is going to be bigger and better and some great speakers have been lined up.
The event will be officially opened by the Mayor and Mayoress of Dartford on March 17.

It is going to be programme and will be richly rewarding. Of cause all said and done the marketing general and story branding champion, Dr Ernest Kadembo, professor, will be driving it to even greater heights as convener and strategist for the strategy and marketing indaba.
Professor Kadembo says that, “We cannot be held to mediocrity, there is enough talent and potential to bring success to Zimbabweans within and in the Diaspora.
The vision is to utilize our world beaters to rub on the optimism and entrepreneurship to others and bring success and make a mark on the global arena.” Many progressive organisations have come on board to advance the cause for excellence in business and still more are streaming to be part of this progressive agenda.
