Bookmarking digital success and extending continent-wide creativity This edition of the newsletter is all about industry-wide recognition of truly excellent work. First up is insight into last week's IAB Digital Summit and Bookmark Awards winners, which kept the industry captive. I have a ‘digital download' discussion with both King James Group and Cerebra to kick off the week, with many more to come over the next few days. Keep an eye on our IAB Digital Summit & Bookmarks special section for the latest updates! Then, I also spoke to Loeries CEO Andrew Human about the highlights from their recent regional African Roadshow, intended to raise regional awareness of the awards with a special focus on Lagos and Nairobi. Click through to find out why Human says, “To really come up with creative ideas, you must ensure you don't get consumed by your desk.” You can also click through to our #BrandManagerMonth special section for continued coverage throughout the month. Here's to an inspired week all round! Comment online in our Ed's Column archive. Go mobile with apps and m.bizcommunity.com. Engage with us on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and Google+.
