There are several well known multinational companies that have successfully traded in Africa for many years and continue to do so.

This, alongside sub-Saharan Africa’s improving political climate, because of advances made by the African Union and the New Economic Partnership for Africa’s Development (www.nepad.org), is resulting in the gradual increase of advertising spend across the continent.

According to Peter Davies, area director of marketing communications at McCann Erickson, the current total estimated advertising spend within sub-Saharan Africa’s key markets, outside of South Africa, is around US$1billion. With improved gross domestic productivity, enhanced market research and a stable trading environment, this figure will grow significantly in the coming years.
