Meka Olowola, a fellow of the Institute of Management Consultants and managing partner of Zenera Consulting, has been conferred with an award for innovative leadership in public relations and image management.

Zenera Consulting was also named the outstanding brand management company of the year at the 2019 National Marketing Stakeholders Summit & Brand and Advertising Awards.

Commenting on the honours, Olowola said: “With heightened demand for cost-effective cutting-edge marketing, 2018 witnessed several exceptionally high-octane creative campaigns. It is, therefore, very gratifying that it is against this backdrop that all our hard work was adjudged worthy of these awards by the very industry itself.

“Whilst saying a big thank you to outstanding talents in the Zenera Group and other stakeholders, we reinstate our commitment to continuing to delight clients and peers in a sustainable and all-inclusive manner.”

Olowola has built a 25-year career in public relations and reputation management.

According to John Ajayi, Marketing Edge’s editor, “[Meka Olowola’s] emergence as Marketing Edge Innovative Leadership in PR and Image Management Awardee, which we are reluctant to describe as an award, was a product of painstaking review and assessment of your immense contributions to the pace-setting and front-running status of Zenera Consulting as a full service branding and public relations (PR) firm in Nigeria.

“[It is] needless to say that not only are you a respected and celebrated PR professional and brand builder par excellence, the name Meka Olowola has become a brand in integrated marketing communication circles across and beyond the shores of Nigeria, hence the informed decision of our editorial board and management to confer on you this award.”

In 2017, Zenera Consulting was named the most inspiring agency at the Marketing World Awards in Ghana.
