PRESS RELEASE

(Mbabane, Eswatini – 13 March 2025) – Stratcom Pty Ltd wishes to express its strong condemnation of the malicious cyber attack that disrupted our webinar held on 12 March 2025, titled "Mastering Influencer Marketing: Strategies for Authentic Engagement in the Digital Age," featuring marketing expert Philani Mpanza and esteemed panelists, Gogo and S’lwane.

Approximately 30 minutes into the session, while our keynote speaker, Mr. Philani Mpanza, Chief Marketing Consultant at Stratcom Media, was presenting valuable insights, we were subjected to an intentional and targeted cyber attack. This unfortunate incident forced the premature termination of the event.

We extend our sincere apologies to all attendees, partners, and our esteemed speakers for the inconvenience and disruption caused. Stratcom launched these webinars to foster a vibrant platform for professional knowledge exchange, practical insights, and collaboration in marketing and digital communications. Such deliberate attacks undermine not only our initiatives but also broader efforts toward professional development and industry progression in Eswatini.

As a result of this incident, we have immediately enhanced our cybersecurity measures to mitigate future vulnerabilities. Our commitment to digital learning, collaboration, and professional growth remains unwavering. Stratcom firmly believes in creating and maintaining safe, constructive, and progressive digital spaces for professionals in Eswatini and beyond.

We reaffirm our determination to continue offering insightful and engaging digital experiences despite attempts by those who seek to disrupt and discourage advancement. We will reschedule this important session with Mr. Philani Mpanza, along with esteemed co-presenters Gogo and S’lwane, and announce the new date and time shortly.
