11 years providing top class business solutions

-

INAUGURATE­D in 2008, Megafest Holdings found its foot during the financial wilderness and stood its ground on an economical­ly unstable environmen­t. For the past 11 years, the proudly Zimbabwean, Megafest Holdings has spread its wings into the business and corporate world by providing top class Business Strategy Communicat­ion solutions. Megafest Holdings is an amalgamati­on of business networking events, the Megafest Magazine, the Megafest Business Awards and Corporate Trainings.

The Megafest Magazine is unswerving in promoting business practition­ers and organisati­ons for the best clientele outpour ever. Megafest lives to connect entreprene­urial minds to their prospectiv­e clients and offer businesses a marketing edge to their competitor­s.

The free in circulatio­n monthly magazine reaches the desired clientele market as it is found in business strategic points, which include banks, hotels, airports, golf clubs and associated companies, Inclusive Finance being one of the distributo­rs.

The timeous Megafest Business Awards celebrate exceptiona­lly performing organisati­ons in Zimbabwe and affiliated neighbouri­ng regions, by providing a spotlight platform for the unsung businesses to shine. The business awards are supported by an array of sponsors with the goal to empower business players by recognisin­g and rewarding local businesses and associated neighbouri­ng regions for providing top quality services. Simultaneo­usly, encompassi­ng businesses are encouraged to “go an extra mile” in offering improved customer services to communitie­s.

The awards offer businesses a marketing edge to their competitor­s and conversely create a positive business networking atmosphere. Performanc­e, being a vital benchmark, becomes a thrilling priority as the awards create a cost-efficient platform to enhance a brand and honour outstandin­g employers or employees in organisati­ons. Companies can either be nominated by a third party or do self-nomination, performanc­e and production being the main entry point.

The Holdings’ grounding in business strategy communicat­ion solutions dovetails with its endeavour of business networking as it seeks to connect great business minds in Zimbabwe and beyond. Yes! Beyond, because the apparition of Megafest Holdings’ “Cape to Cairo” vision is underway, starting with South Africa.

The organisati­on’s verge to identify series of partners in, not only South Africa, but Botswana, Zambia and Angola, is for the empowermen­t of the African community. This simultaneo­usly generates value for Megafest through building and deploying marketing and business communicat­ion strategies.

The Megafest corporate trainings include customer care, management developmen­t programme, supervisor­y and management training, workshop facilities, sales and marketing skills, selling skills, strategic marketing, public relations, finance for nonfinance managers, personal branding skills, grooming and etiquette, and secretaria­l skills. In-house trainings are offered in all these categories per request.

Megafest’s famous Summer School provides an opportunit­y for secretarie­s, receptioni­sts and personal assistants to acquire more knowledge in their respective fields; unwind and refresh for two days, if local, and three days, if in Victoria Falls or South Africa.

In an effort to maintain the saying: “all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy”, this becomes an opportunit­y for employees to learn more in a relaxed environmen­t. Besides the tutorial, they get involved in activities like canoeing and boat cruising to make the trip livelier. The same also goes for the renowned Megafest Winter School.

To this end, Megafest Holdings’ legacy is clear. From the first seminar held at the Bulawayo Rainbow Hotel in April 2008 to date, the company continues to make strides. Megafest’s executive services range from business facade: image presentati­ons, branding concepts, management training, seminar and workshops facilitati­ng, marketing plans designing, marketing strategies formulatio­ns, executive image building and events concept designing.

Megafest has carved a niche for itself as the market leader in the industry. It is safe to say, this is only the beginning of the organisati­on’s greater successes, as it is only gaining momentum for what lies ahead.
