As part of activities to commemorate its 30th anniversary, the Association of Corporate Communication and Marketing Professionals in Banks (ACAMB) recently hosted a golf and networking experience with senior executives of banks, captains of industry, media partners and clients in attendance.

Held at the prestigious Ikoyi Club 1938, the networking initiative designed to promote unity, genuine connections and partnerships, commemorated three decades of advancing corporate communications and marketing excellence within the nation’s banking industry.

Welcoming members and dignitaries to the event, ACAMB President, Jide Sipe, reaffirmed the association’s commitment to the reputation and growth of the banking industry.

“Over the past 30 years, marketing and corporate communications professionals have continued to contribute significantly to the transformation of the financial sector from a closed-door industry into an ecosystem driven by transparency, speed, and digital engagement.

“We have remained consistent, from gatekeepers to strategic drivers in actualising growth, positive brand perception, aligning business values to customer needs, customer satisfaction and loyalty. The list is endless.”

He commended Ikoyi Club 1938 for its longstanding legacy of community building, family bonding, and excellence in sports development within Nigeria, which continues to help nurture the social fabric of businesses. This, he said, is a strong alignment with social growth.

The Deputy Chairman of Ikoyi Club 1938, Mr Bolaji Martins, congratulated ACAMB on its upcoming anniversary in September and thanked Sipe for choosing the club for the auspicious occasion.

He emphasised the club’s active strategy to partner with viable external associations in driving mutual multi-sector growth, fostering inclusivity, and expanding its elite socio-cultural network.

“Having said that, we are committing to giving opportunities at a discounted rate to members of ACAMB and interested professionals who are interested in joining our club as a form of appreciation and support, considering the good work they continue to do,” Martins said.
