For the first time in two years, the IAB SA has announced the Bookmark Awards will take place in person again, on Thursday July 28 at Summer Place in Sandton, Johannesburg.
“We are delighted that the 2022 Bookmark Awards ceremony will be one of the first events for the local industry to come together in a physical space,” says IAB SA chairperson Haydn Townsend.
“The Bookmark Awards is not only a celebration of innovative and world-class work but also shows the power of togetherness that underpins many of the entries received this year. To be able to honour in person these achievements and successes, as well as the lives of the many colleagues who have passed away during the last two years of the pandemic, is a great privilege.”
Beyond celebrating excellence in digital work, the Bookmark Awards set the benchmark for technology, digital and leading-edge innovation, specialist sectors and disciplines that primary award sponsor DStv Media Sales is 100% familiar with.
“As drivers and promoters of digital change in our industry, we are proud to be associated with these pre-eminent industry awards for the fifth year running,” says Fahmeeda Cassim-Surtee, CEO of DStv Media Sales.

“There’s no better way to stimulate creativity in the digital marketing and advertising sector than through interaction and diversity — coupled with some good, healthy competition. These awards afford us the opportunity to achieve all of these as we come together in celebration of innovation and digital excellence.”
The awards are further supported by Google SA, Viu SA, Imamedia, Everlytic, Joe Public United, Tractor Outdoor and Adspace24.
