ADVERTORIAL
SACK YOUR 'EXPENSIVE' AD AGENCY NOW.
Welcome, and thanks for coming to this page.
Let me guess, you are either a Nigerian CEO, Corporate/communications
Affairs manager, Marketing manager or a regular Joe. You came here to find out why you must sack
your expensive Ad agency now.
First, let's deal with certain Nigerian advertising myths.
1. A good TV
commercial MUST be expensive: Fa fa
fa fowl...the truth is that your company can produce a top-quality, creative
and impactful TVC for less than a million naira. Your Ad agency charges you
millions because in addition to outsourcing your creatives to people like us,
they need to make more profits to pay their other redundant staff.
2. Nigerian consumers
are dumb and your Ads must include repetitive narrations and call to action:
Yes of course we have lots of ignoramuses in our midst, but have you considered
the large number of Nigerian viewers that are hooked on to foreign cable and satellite
TV channels. You'd be surprised that most of them love watching foreign TV ads
again and again. TV Ads, in addition to being sources of information, are also
meant to be entertaining, not repulsive-have you seen Segun Arinze’s Viju milk
Ad?
3. ‘Retainerships’
keep Ad agencies at your beck and call: We don't think so, independent Ad
producers like us are ever ready and committed to serve you, even if it's on a one-off basis.
4. Shooting TVCs in
South Africa is the best: There are thousands of locations and untapped
talents in Nigeria that have been largely ignored. South Africa does have a
well developed motion picture production industry; however, some expensive Ad
agencies simply outsource your TVC creatives to film students in Cape Town, pay
them stipends and bill the hell out of your company.
5. Employ Nigerian
celebrities first as brand ambassador before utilizing them in Ad campaigns:
Wrong again, there are many Nigerian celebs that are very open to ‘one-off’ Ad campaigns for your brand,
so long as your company makes a decent
offer.

cost-effective mechanisms for advertising. Why don't you call now and let us discuss
