The Graphic Communications Group Limited (GCGL) and its Director of Marketing and Sales, Ms Shirley Acquaah-Harrison last Saturday won two of the most coveted prizes at the 27th Chartered Institute of Marketing Ghana (CIMG) Performance Awards held at the Banquet Hall of the State House in Accra.

While Ms Acquaah-Harrison was crowned the Marketing Practitioner of the Year, the company emerged the Media organisation of the Year.

Other deserving marketers, media and business organisations were also rewarded for their exploits in the year under review (2015) in 44 categories.

So keen was the contest that some categories such as the Best Radio Programme ended in a tie between Joy FM's Drive Time and Citi FM's Citi Breakfast Show.
