Africa Marketing Council’s Leaders Receive Esteemed International Award:

Johannesburg, South Africa, 15 September 2025 – The African Marketing Confederation (AMC) proudly celebrated the extraordinary achievements of two of its co-founders, Nigel Tattersall and Helen McIntee-Carlisle, who were recently awarded the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM) Honorary Fellowship.

The accolade was presented to Tattersall and McIntee-Carlisle during the AMC Conference, recognising their lasting impact on marketing development across Africa.

The CIM Honorary Fellowship is among the most prestigious accolades in the global marketing profession. Reserved for a select few, it honours individuals who have demonstrated outstanding leadership, innovation, and commitment to advancing the practice of marketing.

Less than a dozen professionals across the world are awarded this recognition annually, making Tattersall and McIntee-Carlisle’s achievements particularly remarkable.

The CIM seeks to elevate the marketing profession, acknowledging leaders who excel in their craft and inspire wider communities of practitioners. Receiving this award signals that Tattersall and McIntee-Carlisle are both considered to be experts in the sector and contributed meaningfully to the growth of marketing as a discipline.

Tattersall and McIntee-Carlisle have been instrumental in advancing professional development, fostering collaboration among African marketers as well as setting high standards across the continent.

Their leadership has positioned African marketing on the global stage, ensuring the continent’s voices and perspectives shape the international conversation. By joining the ranks of past fellows like Kate Hamilton, Nigel and Helen affirm the global relevance of African marketing.

Dr Elaine van Wyk, Group Chief Marketing and Sales Officer at Uxi Private Education, commented on the significance of the award. “The CIM’s Honorary Fellowship is one of the highest honours in marketing. Nigel and Helen earned it through their outstanding contributions to advancing marketing across Africa,” she says.

Van Wyk’s remarks highlight not only Tattersall and McIntee-Carlisle’spersonal achievements but also the broader impact of their work on the African marketing community.

The CIM Honorary Fellowship has historically been awarded to a small and elite group of marketing leaders whose influence has transcended their immediate organisations and sectors. Tattersall and McIntee-Carlisle now join this distinguished group, a milestone that reflects both their professional excellence and the rising global stature of African marketing.

For South African marketers, this recognition is particularly meaningful, showing that locally nurtured talent can gain global acclaim. Nigel and Helen’s achievements highlight the value of ethical practice, strategic insight, and visionary leadership, reminding the industry that true excellence combines results with lasting influence.

The AMC Conference offered the perfect stage to honour this achievement, as peers and industry leaders recognised Tattersall and McIntee-Carlisle’s decades-long commitment to raising marketing standards, fostering professional growth, and inspiring the next generation of African marketers.

Their work has laid a foundation for the continued growth and influence of professionals across the continent.

Museum Africa: Art Collection

The museum’s collection is staggering, housing approximately 850,000 objects that range from the prehistoric to the contemporary. It is one of the few institutions that attempts to tell the story of Southern Africa from the Stone Age to the nuclear age. The “Johannesburg Transformations” exhibition is the museum’s centerpiece, dragging the visitor through the chaotic evolution of the city. It doesn’t shy away from the grime; it features detailed reconstructions of “shack life,” the illegal “shebeens” (speakeasies) of the 1950s, and the vibrant but overcrowded “backyard rooms” that defined the black urban experience during Apartheid. One of its most sobering permanent displays is the “Tried for Treason” exhibit, which meticulously documents the 1956 Treason Trial. Visitors can see the portraits of all 156 accused—including Nelson Mandela, Walter Sisulu, and Albertina Sisulu—and read the “little red books” placed beneath each photo, where the public is invited to write their own reflections and facts about these liberation icons.

Deep within the museum’s labyrinthine halls, you’ll find specialized branches that are world-class in their own right. The Bensusan Museum of Photography sits on the top floor, acting as a shrine to the visual history of the continent. It contains everything from rare 19th-century daguerreotypes to the legendary photojournalism of the Drum magazine era. Meanwhile, the Geology Museum houses over 17,000 specimens, including a definitive collection of the rocks and minerals that made Johannesburg possible. It is a place where you can see the actual gold-bearing conglomerate reefs of the Witwatersrand up close, stripped of their commercial value and presented as scientific wonders.
