This year’s Supersonic New Generation Awards were packed with innovative marketing campaigns that focused on adjusting to the “new normal” and we scooped a Gold, and together with Penquin, Silver and Bronze.
The prestigious Supersonic New Generation Awards is an annual event celebrating and awarding innovative South African media agencies, corporate companies, private institutions, government bodies, individuals, creatives across all industries and registered students.
With categories across Corporate as well as Small, Medium and Large Agencies, prizes are awarded for outstanding campaigns, website design, creative and innovative app design and development, as well as exceptional individuals, students and influencers within the South African marketing environment.
In 2020, we walked away with 2 awards including:
- Bronze – Best Marketing Automation Campaign
- Gold – Best Marketing Automation Campaign
And in 2019, we won 5 awards alongside Penquin.
This year’s hybrid event (virtual and limited in-person) was held at the TicketPro Dome and in living rooms across the country on Thursday 23rd September 2021.
Representing the Spitfire Inbound team, Strategic Inbound Advisor, Lauren Lokker, and Financial and Agencies Service Manager, Boitumelo Jwere, were there to scoop up the awards, in-person.

Awards
Our team humbly accepted the Gold Award for our work on Merchant Capital in the Best Marketing Automation Campaign Category.
Spitfire Strategic Director, Alison Leishman, says “We are so excited to have the team and our clients acknowledged through receiving both the gold and silver in the Best Marketing Automation Campaign category. Clients who are invested in focusing on their customers is what lead to the results that were achieved, and working together with them we have been able to create user journeys and experiences for their customers that have not only generated leads and increased revenue, but also created brand advocates.”
“It used to take me an email and a follow up phone call and then feed back and forth with an agency or then have to create it in html myself versus creating one in probably about thirty seconds on HubSpot. I could never go back.” - Amber Sarrimanolis, Marketing Manager, Merchant Capital
