The Industry Newspaper, a leading brand marketing publication in Nigeria, has launched another platform, tagged ‘Industry Men of Impact’, to celebrate top 50 upwardly mobile and reputable male practitioners within the Integrated Marketing Communications (IMC), entertainment, banking, telecommunications, entrepreneurship, tech, and energy sectors.
This initiative is an addition to the established platforms created by The Industry Newspapers Limited, such as The Industry Summit and Awards, and The Industry Women Conference.
The event, themed “Empowering Men: Achieving Balance in a Fast-Paced World”, will kick off with a panel session featuring discerning industry practitioners, then the plaque presentation to the top 50 industry male practitioners for their remarkable work in 2025.
The list of the inaugural top 50 male industry practitioners will be unveiled on September 22, 2025, during a media conference in Lagos, while the award presentation is slated for November 4, 2025 in Lagos.
On the rationale behind the ‘Top 50’ practitioners in the inaugural edition, the Editor-in-Chief of The Industry Newspaper, Goddie Ofose, said:
“Men of Impact in the Industry” is simply about influential and accomplished individuals in the IMC sector, making significant contributions, driving innovation, and shaping the industry’s future.”
Ofose added that “Men of Impact” acknowledges their achievements and recognizes their influence in the industry; therefore, celebrating male practitioners is essential for several reasons.
