The Advertising Association of Ghana (AAG) has announced the return of the Gong Gong Awards, which is now called Gong Gong Festival of Creativity & Awards, a reinvigorated celebration of excellence in advertising, branding, and creative communications.
After a two-year break, the prestigious awards ceremony is back, reimagined to align with global transformations in the advertising industry.
Set to take place from Monday, April 28 to Saturday, May 3, this year’s event will be a week-long festival, culminating in the much-anticipated 17th Gong Gong Awards Night on Saturday, May 3rd.
Themed ‘Disrupt & Inspire: Recognizing Brands and Agencies that Challenge Norms and Redefine Creativity’, the festival will celebrate outstanding creativity and innovation in Ghana’s advertising industry.
A week of creativity and innovation
According to the President of the Advertising Association of Ghana, Andrew Ackah, the Refreshed Gong Gong Festival of Creativity will feature an exciting lineup of activities, including a Brand and Creativity Exhibition at the Accra Mall, where industry players and consumers can experience cutting-edge advertising and branding excellence.
The festival will also host panel discussions, masterclasses, and networking sessions to foster collaboration and innovation in the advertising industry.
Celebrating excellence in advertising and branding
The Gong Gong Awards, which have been a hallmark of Ghana’s advertising industry for nearly three decades, will now include 17 award categories that recognize not only creative agencies but also companies that own award-winning and outstanding brands.
Under each award category there would be, at least, three different awards to be competed for. The awards will honor the most impactful advertising campaigns and creative works spanning 2023 and 2024.
Why this year’s Gong Gong Awards matter
