Sokoni monthly the official magazine of the marketing society of Kenya is supposed to be published monthly however that isn’t the case. The last issue of the magazine was done in June this year.

The society has mtandariko; which is MSK’s networking brand. The monthly event happens every third Wednesday of the month. Through this medium MSK makes available a forum for marketers to meet in a relaxed manner interact. The event takes different forms of venue, programme, activities layout all to ensure the event doesn’t become boring. The last one was held on the last week of September at the KWS club Nairobi National park.

Apart from the mtandariko MSK has other events such as the MSK jadili, The annual Gala/MSK warrior awards which rewards top marketers and organisation, fun day, small groups forums, retreats, excursions quiz nite and exhibitions.

MSK also offers short marketing courses, one day seminars, and the MSK executive diploma
