Congratulations to our official 2026 Nominees! Being selected as one of the “70 Giants” is more than just a title—it is a powerful marketing tool. While the voting season is an exciting race, the real win is how you leverage this moment to elevate your brand.
Here are three ways to use your nomination to scale your business today:
1. Build “Social Proof” & Authority
People do business with those they trust. Use your “Official Nominee” digital badge on your website, email signature, and LinkedIn profile. It tells potential clients and investors that your work has been recognized by a regional platform.
- Mogul Tip: Update your Instagram bio to say: “Official Nominee | Emerge Africa Awards 2026.”
2. Create Strategic Content
Don’t just ask for votes—tell your story. Use this nomination as a reason to share your “Why.” Post and your vision for Africa. When people vote for you, they aren’t just clicking a button; they are investing in your journey.
- Mogul Tip: Use the “Behind the Scenes” of your business to show the hard work that earned you this nomination.
3. Network with Fellow Giants
You are now in a room with other high-impact individuals. Don’t see them just as “competitors” in a voting race—see them as potential collaborators. Look through the nominee list (now in alphabetical order on our site!) and identify businesses that complement yours.
- Mogul Tip: Reach out to a fellow nominee this week just to say “Congratulations.” You never know where your next partnership will come from.
