“Technology is not the enemy. Fear is. We must be bold enough to re-skill, experiment, and claim our seat at the table,” he said.

Adisa called for government collaboration, including the enforcement of professional standards in agency selection and involvement of practitioners in national brand strategy.

Congress chairman and Insight Redefini Group CEO, Dr. Tayo Oyedeji, delivered a paper titled; “Our Craft, Our Pride, Our Power.” He decried poor agency compensation compared to peers across Africa.

“Kenyan agencies earn three to five times more. South African agencies? Up to 20 times. Our work is not worse. It’s better,” Oyedeji said, warning that undervaluing talent fuels brain drain.

He also called for regulatory trust, cautioning against overregulation that could stifle creativity.

The ARCON DG reaffirmed ARCON’s commitment to collaboration, stating: “We are not the only gatekeepers. Engagement is a continuous process.”

Impact Hub Lagos CEO, Idowu Akinde, highlighted AI’s transformative power and the need for storytelling with social purpose.

 

The day also featured a high-impact panel with experts from Airtel Nigeria, Nigerian Breweries, TBWA\Concept, Digisplash, and the Oyo State Government. Discussions focused on value creation, sustainability, and nurturing creative talent, moderated by Oluwatobilola Williams of 7even Interactive.
