Tomorrow’s business success will rely heavily on speed and agility, the Chief Executive Officer PHD Ghana, Bright Ladzekpo has said.Speaking at a Masterclass session on Science meets Marketing in Accra on Thursday Mr Ladzekpo said, “Prepare now for that era, the 2020s are going to be about speed and agility and effectiveness so you need to invest in the things that will make you deliver these things or be able to deliver at a level that your business sectors will require you to do in competing with other brands.”He said the corporate world has reached the age of information overload on the part of the ordinary consumer posing as a challenge for communicators, therefore, there is the need for brands to prioritize creativity over relevance to win the heart of clients.The event saw the launch of a book titled, “Overthrow II”The book highlights the 10 different types of strategies and narratives that challenge a brand’s put-out in their communication and marketing behaviour. The book was co-authored by PHD Worldwide with the famous writer of ‘Eating the Big Fish’ Adam Morgan.
