Brand Africa announces the inaugural Africa CMO 100

MaraviPost

Women, Financial Services, Telco and Southern African CMOs dominate the list of Africa’s 100 Most Influential Brand Builders

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa, 30 march 2026 -/African Media Agency(AMA)/ – Brand Africa, in partnership with African Business magazine, MIPAD (Most Influential People of African Descent) and the African Media Agency, today launched the inaugural Africa CMO 100 (ACMO100) — recognising the 100 most impactful marketing, brand and reputation leaders shaping Africa’s story, identity and prosperity.

The full list and in-depth analysis will be featured in the April 2026 issue of African Business, available first week of April, and across partner platforms at brandafrica.net, africabusiness.com, mipad.org and africanmediaagency.com.

Brand Africa’s independent research over 15 years has consistently found that while 68% of Africans believe in Africa, only 18% of the brands they most admire are African. ACMO100 exists to recognise and connect the leaders best placed to change that.
“CMOs and senior brand leaders are among the most powerful architects of Africa’s future. Through strategy, stewardship and influence, they shape narratives, build trust, and guide the preferences of hundreds of millions of people. ACMO100 exists to recognise, celebrate and connect these leaders.”
— Thebe Ikalafeng — Founder and Chairman, Brand Africa

The inaugural ACMO100 honourees will be celebrated at Brand Africa Week, Addis Ababa, 22–26 May 2026.

ACMO100: AFRICA’S 100 MOST INFLUENTIAL MARKETING LEADERS

One hundred leaders across six African economic regions — including the diaspora — spanning twenty countries and more than 50 distinct role titles. The list is ordered alphabetically by country of origin. All 100 honourees hold equal standing. The list carries no internal ranking.

THREE FINDINGS FROM THE INAUGURAL LIST

01 — A Female-Majority Profession. 62% of honourees are women — a majority across every region. The diaspora cohort is 75% female; East Africa reaches 72%; North Africa, 71%. In Africa, women are not emerging talent waiting for their moment: they are running marketing for the continent’s most consequential brands.

02 — Finance and Telecoms Dominate. Financial services — banking, insurance and fintech — leads with 31 honourees, reflecting the scale of Africa’s financial inclusion wave and the premium brand trust commands in markets where millions are transacting formally for the first time. Telecoms and technology account for a further 20. Together, these two sectors represent more than half the list — and the deepest pools of marketing talent on the continent.

03 — Three Hubs, and a Rising Fourth. Southern Africa leads with 39 honourees, anchored by Johannesburg — the marketing capital of the continent. West Africa contributes 20, with Nigeria’s 17 entries anchoring a market of extraordinary commercial depth. East Africa’s 17 are shaped by Kenya’s Safaricom ecosystem and Nairobi’s competitive consumer market. The most instructive story is North Africa: 14 entries, with Morocco alone accounting for seven — more than Egypt and Algeria combined — signalling Casablanca’s emergence as a new continental marketing hub.

Southern Africa — 39 Honourees
Anchored by South Africa, which accounts for 31% of leaders by country of origin.

THE BAOBAB | ACMO HALL OF FAME

Brand Africa has also announced the inaugural Baobab | ACMO Hall of Fame — honouring a select number of African and diaspora brand leaders whose benchmark careers have made an enduring contribution to Africa’s brand narrative. Named for Africa’s most iconic and enduring tree, the Baobab honours legacy, not a moment. Inaugural recipients: Bozoma Saint John (former Uber and Netflix CMO); Bernice Samuels (retiring MTN Group Executive for Brand and Marketing); Sylvia Mulinge (CEO, MTN Uganda; former Chief Customer Officer, Safaricom); and Souheil Badaa (former CMO, Novartis Group; founder, Tanakoo) — icons whose work has defined, elevated and expanded the possibilities of African-led brand leadership.

BRAND AFRICA WEEK — ADDIS ABABA, 22–26 MAY 2026

The inaugural ACMO100 honourees will be celebrated at Brand Africa Week in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia — the historical capital of the continent — in the week of Africa Day. Brand Africa Week 2026 will bring together the ACMO100 Celebration, the unveiling of the Brand Africa 100 | Africa’s Best Brands® and the Brand Africa Dialogue — planned to be the most impactful convening of continental CMOs in Africa’s history.

“MIPAD exists to celebrate and elevate the most influential people of African descent — and ACMO100 does exactly that for the world of marketing and brand leadership. For the first time, the architects of Africa’s most powerful brands are being recognised on their own terms. That is long overdue, and it matters deeply to the diaspora.”
— Kamil Olufowobi, Founder & Chairman, MIPAD (USA/Nigeria)

THE ACMO METHODOLOGY AND REVIEW COMMITTEE

The ACMO100 selection is governed by a rigorous, three-step process designed to reflect the realities of marketing leadership across a continent where function often outpaces title.

Collation draws on three independent sources: nominations by the ACMO Review Committee; review of the marketing leadership behind brands featured in the Brand Africa 100 | Africa’s Best Brands® and comparable rankings over the preceding three years; and research into CMOs behind award-winning and/or impactful work.

Evaluation applies a consistent set of criteria to every nominee: active leadership in Africa or the diaspora; a minimum of five years in senior marketing decision-making; and standing as the highest-ranking functional marketing, brand or communications leader in their organisation.

Verification and vetting ensures that every name on the list has earned its place through demonstrable impact, influence and integrity — not title or visibility alone.

The list carries no internal ranking. All 100 honourees hold equal standing.

The integrity of ACMO100 is anchored in the independence and calibre of its governance. The ACMO Review Committee is an independent, Africa-wide body of distinguished practitioners with a deep understanding of the marketing and brand industry and its most influential individuals — drawn from every major region of the continent and the diaspora. The Committee is intentionally diverse in discipline, geography and background. It brings together former CMOs now in general management and board roles; founders and chief executives of leading African agencies; editors and publishers of the continent’s foremost business media; heads of national marketing associations; academics and researchers from leading African institutions; and respected independent voices from strategy, creative, media and digital.

Committee members are ineligible for inclusion during their tenure; current CMOs do not participate in nomination or adjudication, ensuring complete independence. The panel spans more than 20 countries across all African regions and the diaspora — its diversity in discipline, geography and seniority is central to the credibility of the process.

AFRICA’S MOST COMPREHENSIVE AND REFERENCED BRAND SURVEY

The Brand Africa 100 | Africa’s Best Brands is based on an independent, comprehensive survey of African consumers aged 18+, spanning 30+ countries that collectively represent over 85% of the continent’s population and GDP. Conducted in 8 languages—from Arabic to Swahili—using mobile, face-to-face, and online methods, the research is led by GeoPoll and Kantar across the continent, supported by regional partners in North Africa Integrate (Morocco) and Gopinion (Algeria), and Southern Africa Analysis (Mauritius) and Oxygen (Namibia).

The study generates over 150,000 brand mentions and nearly 6,000 unique brands, producing a weighted Top 100 ranking for Africa and each surveyed country. 

Over the past 15 years, the Brand Africa 100 | Africa’s Best Brands has established that on average, African brands account for only 20% of the most admired brands in Africa. 

WHAT DIFFERENTIATES BRAND AFRICA 100: AFRICA’S BEST BRANDS?

The Brand Africa 100: Africa’s Best Brands rankings are authentically African, data-driven and consumer-led: (1) Africa focused (rooted in the continent’s voice and vision); (2) the most comprehensive barometer of consumer brand preferences (spanning 30+ countries representing 85% of Africa’s population and GDP); (3) research-based; (4) conducted by independent and globally respected research partners, including Geopoll and Kantar, the biggest research and information firms in the world; and (5) non-sponsored (no brand pays to participate in the study).

WHY BRANDS MATTER? 

A country’s brand is far more than a logo or slogan—it is the world’s perception of that nation, and that perception has real economic and social consequences. Strong brands are powerful drivers of industrialization, investment, and job creation. They shape a country’s identity and competitiveness, influence trade and tourism, and enhance its soft power and global standing. In the African context, brands also play a vital role in fostering continental pride, trust, and unity. Simply put, strong brands build strong nations.

PARTICIPANTS

The annual Brand Africa announcement attracts CEOs and CMOs, academics, economic and branding thought leaders, researchers, the creative community, practitioners, and media.

Africa Day: Celebrating unity, culture, progress

Maravi Post Author

By Twink Jones Gadama

BLANTYRE-(MaraviPost)-Africa Day is a significant day on the continent, as it marks the founding of the Organization of African Unity (OAU) in 1963.

The day is celebrated on May 25 every year.

This continental organization was established with the aim of promoting unity and solidarity among African nations and supporting the decolonization of African territories.

The OAU played a crucial role in advocating for the rights and independence of African countries, as well as in fostering cooperation and collaboration among member states.

In 2002, the OAU was replaced by the African Union (AU), which continues to build on the vision and goals of its predecessor.

One of the key significances of Africa Day is the celebration of African unity.

This day provides an opportunity for Africans to come together to celebrate their shared history, culture, and identity.

It serves as a reminder of the importance of solidarity and cooperation among African nations in addressing common challenges and advancing shared goals.

Through events, activities, and ceremonies held on Africa Day, people across the continent are able to showcase the rich diversity and heritage of Africa, while also reaffirming their commitment to working together for the development and prosperity of the continent.

Furthermore, Africa Day is a time to reflect on the progress that has been made in the continent.

Over the years, African countries have made significant strides in various areas, including economic growth, infrastructure development, and social advancements.

With the establishment of the AU, there has been increased focus on promoting peace, security, and good governance in Africa, as well as on driving sustainable development and addressing major challenges such as poverty, inequality, and climate change.

Africa Day provides an opportunity to celebrate these achievements and to recognize the efforts of individuals, organizations, and governments in driving positive change and transformation in Africa.

In addition to celebrating unity and progress, Africa Day also serves as a platform for raising awareness about the challenges facing the continent.

Despite the successes and advancements that have been made, Africa continues to grapple with a range of issues, including conflict, corruption, health crises, and environmental degradation.

Africa Day is a time to highlight these challenges and to call for collective action and support in addressing them.

It is a reminder of the importance of solidarity and cooperation in finding solutions to complex problems, and of the need for greater international support and collaboration in advancing the development and well-being of Africa.

Overall, Africa Day is a day of celebration, reflection, and advocacy.

It is a day to honor the achievements and resilience of the African people, to showcase the diversity and beauty of the continent, and to reaffirm the commitment to working together for a brighter future.

As Africa continues on its journey towards development and prosperity, Africa Day serves as a reminder of the importance of unity, culture, and progress in shaping the continent’s destiny and in building a better tomorrow for all Africans.

Today it is hard to business between countries and regions because of these imaginary boundaries placed by whites. Prophet Mbewe added that for this country to move forward, Government must create an environment where everyone regardless of his or her religion, political affiliation, tribe, and social status.
