Supersonic, powered by MTN – Awards Platinum Headline Naming Sponsors

As a past Headline Naming Sponsor, the New Gen Awards allowed Supersonic to expose some of the most influential digital creatives and key decision-makers in South Africa to our brand. The event was exceptionally well organised and executed to an excellent standard. Supersonic was afforded the naming rights and given sufficient brand exposure pre and post the event. Corporates, brands, and agencies who are looking for great value and an impactful return on their investment versus cost should not hesitate to get involved as sponsors.

“The New Generation Awards affords brands to showcase a variety of digital marketing activities, ranging across campaigns, content, service and channels. The entry and judging criteria is clear, which makes the process transparent to all involved. Vodacom was proud to showcase some of our digital work and to walk away with five coveted awards.”

“It’s always an honour to be recognised by your industry, which makes the New Generation Awards a highlight on the awards calendar. Being recognised by some of the leading digital minds in the industry, inspires us to continue producing work that generates positive results for our clients, and allows us to showcase the impact that digital innovation for brands can have on consumers.”

The New Generation Awards are fast becoming a most notable and important Agency and Corporate Awards Platform to enter. Founded in 2012, this African born Awards stage not only recognizes incredible local talent, digital media and social innovation and creative excellence, but acknowledges the contribution of fresh new talent, progressive brands and responsible, forward-thinking corporates too.

What it has done for our thriving indie agency is bring a lot of respect to our solutions, trust in what we do, and faith installed by our clients. They have made us an agency people want to work for, as agencies that enter awards are often seen as ambitious and good agencies to grow in.

“Each and every NewGen Award that we’ve won is a true testimony to the hard work of the entire Stratitude team, as well as our dedication and drive towards developing innovative, results-driven digital platforms and campaigns for our clients. We’re often so busy getting the work done that we don’t always recognise what we’ve achieved. The awards evening is always a great social event for our team and our clients.”

“Winning at the New Generation Awards not only demonstrates the great work that we produce, it also showcases the talented people that we have, and most importantly our skills across multiple media disciplines".

Sponsors - The New Generation Awards allowed us the opportunity to expose some of the most influential digital creatives in South Africa to the Fujifilm/Instax brands. Not only were we able to exhibit our products to attendees, but we also were able to photograph attendees and present them with their photographs. During the award ceremony, Fujifilm managed to sponsor a few award categories, with major exposure received through Instax instant cameras that were placed on tables for photos. One lucky attendee per table was able to take home the camera at the end of the evening. As sponsors, the New Generation Awards certainly provided us exactly the type of marketing interaction we want from an event.

"The introduction of a student category in the New Generation Awards is a hugely exciting prospect for the Department of Strategic Communication at the University of Johannesburg. We are privileged to participate in initiating such a valuable and innovative award category, which will provide our students with exciting new opportunities to showcase their digital communication skills and knowledge."

Most people never really understand what working in social media means, so having awards ceremonies like these is incredibly important. I’m proud to have been recognized as the Best Corporate Community Engagement Manager for 2017 and it has motivated me to do even bigger and better work going forward.
