PHD Ghana Masterclass Events
The previous two Masterclass events held by PHD Ghana, christened ‘The Masterclass Accra – Science meets Marketing’ in the last quarter of 2019 recorded a higher-than expected feedback from attendees, drawn from a number of high-profile SME businesses in Ghana and Nigeria. The agency sees the initiative as one that will grow into West and Central Africa’s topmost local Masterclass to attend.
The term ‘challenger brand’ was coined by Adam Morgan, a brand consultant and co-founder of eatbigfish, 20 years ago. Since then a new wave of challengers has been changing the way the categories around us think and behave. It is financed by a new type of investor, harnessing emerging structural changes, and new ways to build relationships with their consumers. They have generated an enormous energy and excitement in the marketing and business community.
The Program Outline
According to programme outline shared with Ghana Talks Business, this special edition The Masterclass Accra is designed to have three facilitators and two workshops. Followed by an in-depth interaction with the resource persons during a cruise on the Volta Lake aboard the Dodi Princess.
The speakers will focus on the science, the strategic principles and the types of funding that drive disproportionate growth for challenger brands.
