SUMMARY:GSB roundtable discussion: Marketing for the future – why today's best practices need to change
DESCRIPTION:GSB Alumni Relations event \nAccording to Prof. John Deighton (Harvard Business School\, US)\, there is more to marketing than communication – but not much more. So when the media of communication changes\, marketing changes. The pace of change has been extraordinarily fast since the birth of the internet. We have had to re-skill to use websites\, email\, texting like WhatsApp and Twitter\, social media\, new search options besides Google\, algorithmic media like TikTok and YouTube\, and\, before long\, Web3.  \nThese new marketing media talk in many directions – marketers talk to consumers\, consumers talk back\, consumers talk to each other\, and creators talk to anyone prepared to listen. The idea that the brand controls the conversation is quaint today to everyone except those myopic marketers who think that what their ads and PR say is what the market hears.  \nBesides this messaging mayhem\, the functions of marketing that are not communication-centric are also changing. Distributors used to exploit scarcity; now they must fight abundance. Digital content can be streamed; physical content can be “Amazoned“ or “Shopified“. No marketing leader can be confident that they control the path to purchase today. \nIn this roundtable\, the panel will explore – and debate with the audience – the best practices of today’s marketing. \nSpeakers: Prof. John Deighton\, Professor of Business Administration Emeritus\, Harvard Business School (GSB MBA ’72)  | Dr Caitlin Ferreira\, acting MBA Programme Director UCT GSB and senior lecturer | Alex Pryor (GSB MBA ’09)\, Head of Digital Innovation EOH and senior lecturer | Moderator: Kosta Kontos (GSB MBA 09/10)\, Chairperson UCT GSB Alumni Board \nRead more \nRegister here: https://www.gsb.uct.ac.za/event/register/224/marketing-for-the-future-why-today’s-best-practices-need-to-change

SUMMARY:Alumni Talk: Rethinking equality – cry our beloved unequal country
DESCRIPTION:Recently South Africa lit up social media again when a photograph by UCT Masters student Johnny Miller made the front cover of Time magazine. Miller started his Unequal Scenes project and research in 2016\, and in the Time interview states that “South Africa was so ruthlessly and effectively segregated during apartheid\, I just had an idea that by seeing it from the air it would help make that hit home. That the architecture itself is a dividing factor.” \nWhat can we do in the social innovation\, systems change and higher education sectors to address this? How can we address inequality\, compassionately and effectively? Are we doing enough to bring about equality for all? Join the GSB’s Alumni Relations and Bertha Centre departments as they host the second event in their Rethinking series. \nSpeakers will include Mayra Hartman; a Bertha Scholar\, GSB MBA Alumnus who conducted her Master’s dissertation research on the South African affordable housing sector. She will be joined by Lorenzo Davids the CEO of Community Chest\, a GSB MPhil candidate and someone who has worked in the social and civic organisations space for decades. They will be in conversation with the Bertha Centre’s Acting Director Bulelwa Makalima-Ngewana. Bulelwa is the former CEO of the Cape Town Partnership and a town planner with extensive experience in managing and coordinating public-private partnerships for area-based management. \nVisit the event website for more information or RSVP directly here.
