Uganda’s economy is set to receive a significant boost as the country hosts the prestigious Brand Africa Awards on August 15, 2025, at the Kampala Serena Hotel. This year’s event, a celebration of the awards’ 15th anniversary, promises to be one of the biggest events on the nation’s social calendar, and Pesapal is already on board to ensure its success.
What’s more is that the collaboration between Publics Africa Communication, the event organisers, and Pesapal to streamline ticket booking is not just a convenience for attendees, but a strategic move that enhances the event’s economic value for the country.
This partnership, which enables seamless ticket purchases through mobile money via the Pesapal portal, is a testament to Uganda’s growing digital financial services landscape.
According to Paul Hall Isingoma, Head of Digital Marketing at Publics Africa Communications, this collaboration provides a safer, easier, and more convenient way for people to secure their attendance.
“This streamlined access is expected to drive higher participation from both local and regional attendees, which will directly contribute to Uganda’s economy,” Isingoma said.

Great Opportunity for Uganda’s Economy
The decision to host the Brand Africa Awards in Kampala is more than an honour; it is a major economic opportunity for Uganda. The event is set to be a key driver of the economy in several ways:
Boost to the Hospitality and Tourism Sector
The influx of attendees, including policymakers, industry leaders, and brand experts from across the continent, will significantly benefit Uganda’s hospitality sector.
Hotels, restaurants, and transport services will experience a surge in business, leading to increased revenue and temporary employment.
The event also serves as a showcase for Uganda’s tourism potential, encouraging visitors to extend their stay and explore the country’s natural beauty and cultural heritage.
Showcasing Uganda’s Business Landscape
The Brand Africa Awards is a platform that celebrates brands that resonate with African consumers. By hosting the event, Uganda gets to showcase its vibrant business ecosystem and homegrown brands on a continental stage.
This exposure can attract foreign direct investment and foster new trade partnerships, positioning Uganda as a key player in Africa’s industrial and branding future.
Enhancing Knowledge and Skills
The event will feature a masterclass on brand excellence led by renowned South African author and brand expert, Thebe Ikalafeng.
This is an invaluable opportunity for Ugandan entrepreneurs and marketers to gain insights and skills that can help them build stronger, more competitive brands. This knowledge transfer is critical for fostering innovation and growth within the country’s private sector.
Most important to note, however, is that the seamless digital ticketing process, powered by Pesapal, not only enhances the attendee experience but also highlights Uganda’s digital readiness.
This partnership between Publics Africa Communications and Pesapal demonstrates how strategic collaborations and technological adoption can be used to attract and successfully host major international events, which in turn drive significant economic benefits for the host country.
