This Independence Month, UMS Ignite takes on BRAND UGANDA, not as a tourism slogan or communications campaign, but as a live brand challenge. We will unpack how countries build reputation, how perception is shaped, where experience strengthens or weakens the promise, and what marketers can learn from treating Uganda itself as a brand. Expect a sharp, cross-sector conversation spanning tourism, enterprise, media, national reputation and lived experience, with voices who are directly shaping, selling and interpreting Uganda every day. We have a very exciting panel, well versed with all things Uganda and it's branding. We have the amazing @JulzKagwa @kasujja and @wekesa_amos. For marketers, this is bigger than country branding. It is a conversation about positioning, differentiation, reputation, customer experience, stakeholder alignment and the uncomfortable space between what a brand says and what it actually delivers. Come ready to listen, challenge, contribute and leave with a sharper view of the role marketers can play in shaping not just brands, but perceptions of a country. #UMSIgnite2026 #Marketing

The @UMS_Marketer today successfully conducted its official Annual General Meeting 2026 and leadership handover ceremony at Protea Skyz Hotel in Naguru, marking an important transition from the outgoing leadership to the incoming executive team. The occasion brought together members, current and former leaders of the Society to reflect on the achievements of the concluding term for 2024/2026, review the organisation's financial reports and accountability, recognise the contribution of past leaders, and formally welcome the new leadership team for 2026/2028 led by Robert Nsibirwa as the incoming Board Chairperson, Dr Sarah Bimbona & Lorraine Tukahirwa as newly elected Board members. The ceremony demonstrated UMS’s commitment to good governance, institutional continuity, transparency, and responsible leadership. A major highlight of the ceremony was the presentation of the auditor’s report by Mr. Roger Anguzu, the Chairperson Advisory Council. The financial review provided members with an account of how the Society’s resources had been managed during the outgoing administration. During the presentation, Mr. Anguzu confirmed that the Society’s funds had been well utilized, providing members and the incoming leadership with assurance regarding the organization’s financial statements.

Many organisations chase visibility, and very few invest enough in trust. During his tenure as Director Public Relations at @UMS_Marketer Society, @DannyKwiz learned that sustainable influence is built through credibility, consistency and meaningful stakeholder engagement. From strengthening professional partnerships to advancing marketing excellence, the real objective was never simply being seen, it was being trusted.
