After the successes recorded in its first and second editions in Abuja and Lagos 2019, the third edition of Vivacity PR annual Glocalisation and Branding Summit, is set to hold on December 1, 2020 at the NEPC Building, Maitama in Abuja, with the theme, ‘A Synergy between Global and Local Strategies’. This edition of the summit aims to deepen knowledge and further discussions on glocalisation processes for all Nigerian SMEs.

According to the founder of Vivacity PR and convener of the summit, Oluwakemi Ann-Melody Areola, the essence of the Summit targets MSMEs, Intrapreneurs, Entrepreneurs and Multinational organisations with the aim of creating strong and sustainable business alliances across a number of key sectors — ICT, PR, Fashion, Cosmetics, Automobile, Art, Law, Finance, Culture & Tourism, Retail, Hotel & Hospitality, Education, Mining, Renewable Energy, Infrastructural Development, Real Estate, Health, and more.She noted that the concept of glocalisation is creation of products or services intended for the global market but customised to serve the local cultures. “Glocalisation has been advocated as an attractive alternative to mass tourism, providing sustainable livelihoods to small local operators, protecting and sustaining the cultural resources, and educating tourists and locals alike.

“The glocalisation of media merges globalised media and local specificities, this mixes the elements different cultures can share with specific elements that pertain to a specific culture. In the context of marketing, glocalisation signifies the creation of services or products for the international market by adapting the product to local or regional culture.”

The summit, which is first of its kind in Nigeria will bring together speakers from private sector and government parastatals to enlighten attendees on glocalisation and the efforts being made to ensure that Nigerian products compete at the same level as others in the global market.

It will therefore assist in providing an enabling environment for Nigerian SMEs to flourish locally and internationally.
