A few years ago,I delivered a killer rebrand pitch.The room applauded but the CFO asked: “How does this make us $$$?” That day I learned: 1. Creativity impresses. 2. Data convinces. CAC,CLV,ROAS aren't just finance terms; they’re your marketing passport to the strategy table

When business performance dips, marketing gets blamed first. But often, the real issue is deeper — unclear strategy, misaligned teams, or a broken value proposition. It’s time we shift from finger-pointing to fixing the fundamentals. #MarketingStrategy #Leadership #Performance

@baba_nyenyedzi @freida_c In China there are no billboards. Billboards are an eyesore.

I used to get excited about awards—until I saw the link between sponsorship and “winning.” One organizer called to congratulate me… then asked me to pay for the trophy. I laughed and didn’t attend. Now I only celebrate the ones that don’t come with an invoice. #AwardSeason

Speaking of billboards, this “go see victor” billboard on Enterprise is my daily reminder to stay annoyed 😏

Who are the gatekeepers that still insist on Bill boards, fliers and newspaper adverts when the world has evolved? Especially in Zimbabwe where eyeballs are on phone screens? Frieda Chapfika, an engineer turned marketing guru @freida_c shares her candid thoughts. Do you agree?

After the show, the team takes some time to chill and relax. @rufarogz is wearing his full Comrades Marathon attire and supporting local brands - enjoying a Mosi-Oa-Tunya cigar, the finest hand-rolled cigar proudly made in Zimbabwe.

@baba_nyenyedzi @freida_c Interesting convo. Reminds me of the convo about accountants in Zim who focus on cutting cost without considering the consequences, not forgetting or 3 quotes system where we pick the cheapest and not consider the goals we want to achieve. Few are visionaries in Zim

@banganayi @baba_nyenyedzi @freida_c No. This is the mambos approach which didn't lead to anyway. Jus because there is plenty of billboards doesn't mean we read them. We jus know there was something but not necessarily remember what it is

@baba_nyenyedzi @freida_c A ton of executives in Zimbabwe still very much believe in advertising in newspapers. In this day. When you pitch something to push their brands online, they flat out tell you they don’t believe much in social media and digital marketing.

@baba_nyenyedzi @freida_c Here, marketing and advertising departments are folding due to AI. Zim is resisting but classic jobs/industries are dying. Marketing strategies, logos, ads, websites and even distribution strategies are being created by AI in minutes. All for the price of your monthly wifi fee.

@baba_nyenyedzi @freida_c Think fliers and billboards are dead? 🤔 Not yet! In Zim, people still trust what they see on the street. Just don’t stop there—pair them with WhatsApp & social media to make noise and drive sales 💥 #Marketing #GrowYourBusiness
