With the general lack of precise, granular media audience measurement data in most African markets, media buying has tended to adopt a “scatter-gun” approach. Brands and agencies hedge their bets in their advertising expenditure, distributing their ad spend across a variety of channels and timeslots to ensure that their target market is adequately reached with advertising. This should not be happening in a digital age.
Without the measurement and data infrastructure to enable this accountability, global clients’ African media budgets often do not get the investment they deserve. A lot of ad spend is wasted, either because it is reaching the wrong target audience, or it is reaching the right audience but less cost effective than it should be. It has previously been very difficult to monitor the return on investment of ad spend as there has not been a consistent, objective way of tracking campaign reach and frequency. Until Now!!!
The GeoPoll Media Measurement service has been examining ratings and audience share for the top stations in Kenya, Uganda, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Rwanda, and Afghanistan to provide media insights into markets where data is scarce. You no longer need to bet on which media channel is most effective for your advertising expenditure.
