Highlighting the organisation’s commitment to constant learning, re- learning and un-learning which has formally become a tradition and part of the brand DNA, Publisher/Chief Executive Officer, Mr. John Ajayi, said that the decision to organise the Fireside solely for the employees and its internal publics was informed by the desire to fire up their creative and innovative instincts even as the media group repositions for a more robust and radical brand journalism practice in Nigeria like never before.
“Our cardinal goal this year is to beat ourselves to our own game, if you like. We want to disrupt the market so that we can reset the rules. Consequently, this has made the fireside conversation inevitable,” he said.
Ajayi added that the conversation specifically targets the company’s workforce because they represent the industry frontier force and foot-soldiers, hence the necessity to imbue in them the immense capabilities and multiple competencies to engage and tackle the market battles ahead.
He therefore enjoined industry players to channel their feedback and expectations to the media organization such that it will further promote and boost the business of brand management and the management of brand business in Nigeria.
He expressed his profound gratitude his publications' teeming readers, subscribers and viewers, advertisers and patrons, for their continued loyalty, patronage and support over the years, noting that much more is expected from them in the New Year
