Marketing Society of Kenya celebrates 60 years of partnerships

The Marketing Society of Kenya (MSK) celebrated its 60 years of partnering with marketers on Thursday at a Nairobi hotel.

In an event attended by top business managers, MSK Chairman Charles Kariuki said a series of events are lined up to build the marketing industry and support businesses.

“We are set to host a series of exciting events this year. I thank MSK Board and the secretariat for their tireless efforts in driving the agenda of the society,” Kariuki noted.

Chris Diaz, Bidco Group Director, congratulated MSK for the milestone and encouraged more young leaders to take up important revenue-generating careers and start up new entrepreneurship.

“I congratulate MSK for 60 years and mine is to encourage young leaders to grab this vital revenue generating career and start up new entrepreneurship using technology and support from the senior marketers and business leaders,” stated Diaz, who also once chaired CIM Kenya.

 “African continental trade agreements are a new marketing opportunity that needs be tapped and jobs across Africa to increase exports and imports to grow trade.”

He added: “I welcome the new entry of DRC into the EAC markets and I thank chairman President Uhuru Kenyatta and Presidents of the member states to grow the market from 160 million people to over 259 million market to offer excellent investments and trade growth in Africa.”

Nairobi County Woman Representative Esther Passaris also attended the event and stated how marketing will help the country.

"It is the marketing sector that will help our country maintain peace and prosperity during this political season,” said Passaris.
