The Standard Media Group has partnered with the Kenya’s Association of Practitioners in Advertising (APA) to host this year’s APA Awards.
This is the second time in a row that the Standard Group is sponsoring the event.
APA chairperson Gil Kemami said Kenya was gearing to celebrate creative ingenuity and excellence. “We have put much emphasis on new entrants, most of whom are youths, to nurture talents and help us achieve global standards,” said Kemami.
He called upon players in the creative industry to think of coming up with a creative academy, where more talents could be nurtured.
