Exporters Eastern Cape held their 25th Exporter of the Year Awards on the 14th of August this year. This annual event acknowledges the achievements of Eastern Cape Exporters and Service Providers in the province.
The 2020 awards event was a special milestone for the organisation, as they also celebrate their 40th birthday this year.
A sign of the times was that these Awards were hosted online as an experiential live event, a first for the Exporter of the Year Awards evening. Live entertainment and the perfect MC, Gareth Burley ensured the online guests were always kept entertained.
The winner announcements were pre-filmed at heritage sites and important landmarks in Port Elizabeth which put a fresh spin on the interactive aspect of the evening. What a great way of keeping those tuned in and engaged!
The highlight of the evening for Oracle Media, was being announced as the IDC Job Creation Merit award winner and the Best Provider of Service to Exporter winner. Competitors were larger companies and these two awards were a pleasant surprise to Neil Barker, MD of Oracle Media.
“Our competition was tough and I really appreciate being chosen as winners in both those categories.”
