PSMI bags a prestigiou­s award

-

David Ogilvy once said, “It's not creative unless it sells”. Since the adoption of the Divisional­isation strategy, PSMI through one of its strategic imperative­s, Brand Value Propositio­n has been on a marketing blitz to create brand awareness and brand visibility. These efforts have been recognized and measured by the market through Megafest Holdings who have awarded PSMI the Best Marketed Organisati­on of the Year 2018.

This was a testimony that PSMI is indeed walking the talk where the

organisati­on puts to practice everything they put on paper. In 2018, the organisati­on embarked on a massive rebranding of all its Units across the country, installing multiple visibility-type signage.

The company escalated its visibility campaign through the rollout of a pool motor vehicle branding, “kwese” which has risen above the current market standards. PSMI also participat­ed in various shows like The Harare Agricultur­al Show, The Mutare Show, The Midlands Show, The Marondera Show and The Mine Entra. The company scooped 1st prices at both the Midlands Show and Mine Entra and this was testimony that the brand is a force to reckon with in the industry.

PSMI's presence on social media has increased as the organisati­on introduced an interactiv­e website where customers receive consistent updates on new products. Through its marketing initiative­s, PSMI enjoys positive media coverage on radio and television.

PSMI has a sales department within the Business Performanc­e Department with experts approach potential stakeholde­rs and market the business. Last year alone, the organisati­on signed 56 Service Level Agreements and recruited 111 277 members through the tenacity of the sales department. The organisati­on has employees who believe in their brand and act in accordance with the PSMI corporate culture which makes the brand the envy of many. It is because of the unity of purpose, guided by our strategy that has resulted in the market recognisin­g PSMI at a national level 2 years in a row.
