Welcome to the 2018 edition of OMD Media Facts which provides media data and market demographics for
South Africa and the SADC region. Once again we are delighted to partner with Financial Mail’s annual Adfocus -
a celebration of excellence in, and analysis of, the advertising industry in South Africa.
2017 has been a challenging year in terms of the broader South African economy on a macro level and this drops
down directly to consumer behaviour on the ground. Advertisers have to work ever harder for market share and
their customer’s a�ention. Data is the key in understanding what is going on and how to react.
Many clients now also see the opportunities that exist outside our borders and are pushing into growth markets
across the continent. Once again,
accessing reliable data is an
essential prelude to making such a
commitment.
OMD, as part of the broader
Omnicom Media Group, have the
largest and most integrated network
in the Sub-Saharan region so we are
able to lead the way in the provision
of market intelligence, in-country
resource and accountability.
To back up the claims, OMD was
awarded “Global Media Network of
the Year” at the Cannes Advertising
Festival in June 2017, a fantastic
acknowledgement of our reach and
expertise.

This table reads: The average spot on SABC1 spread 19:00 to 22:00 between September 2016 and August 2017 cost R78,669. In this period the station delivered 4,785,400 adults daily at an average
cost per thousand of R27. Its average daily reach of English speakers was 71,500 at a cost per thousand of R2,607. Source: Nielsen's Arianna of Broadcast Research Council's TAMS.
This table reads: SABC1 is owned by the SABC and broadcasts free-to-air in all official languages. Its last 7 days viewership ex BRC TAMS Aug 2017 is 20,714 million adults (rounded).
In this 7 day period it reaches 61.5% of all adults, 71.3% of black adults and 14.1% of all white adults.
The market: Linear (ie.,channel) TV channel numbers, total viewership and adspend continues to climb but is fragmenting. Digital transition still uncertain but ought to provide more local opportunity
and cover more niches. Video On Demand (VOD) non-commercial opportunities supplied via internet streaming and installed decoder from international and local sources are rapidly changing
historic fundamentals. More than 8 services announced/launched, some have closed already. Top 2, Naspers' ShowMax (now available on DStv top bouquet) and Netflix, clear leaders.
Period: 19:00-22:00 September 2016-August 2017

OUT OF HOMEOUT OF HOMEThe market: South Africa has a very vibrant and entrepreneurial outdoor media sector, contractors providing very many different variants of the medium. Generally, sector is moving away from traditional
format sites to newer illuminated more creative formats, especially larger format 'iconic' sites focused on major freeways and free standing structures. New innovations drive to cut through clu�er.
New provincial council bylaws threaten to remove many illegal structures especially in Johannesburg Metro. The following variants are numerically/strategically important. Rentals invariably negotiable.
The market: A premium medium, cinema chains are continually building, upgrading and revitalising cinema houses. The South African medium is controlled by Ster Kinekor (63,000 seats in 58
complexes, 400 plus screens), Nu Metro (20 complexes, 163 screens) and Movies@ (6 complexes, 47 screens). There are a few smaller chains plus independents. The largest multiplex is Ster Kinekor's
Umhlanga Gateway of 18 screens with 3,700 plus seats. Ster Kinekor have seven IMAX's, Cine Prestige offering a luxury cinema experience at the top end of the market and art-house Nouveau theatres
for the discerning moviegoer. A�endances: Currently stable but does fluctuate with the offerings of Hollywood/Bollywood. Digital projection is widespread enabling rapid change of movies so as to
react to market conditions. Rates/Performance: Rates are under pressure but significant discounts may be negotiated and packages bought. Through Cinemark (Ster-Kinekor) a package of top
screens is likely to yield a cost per thousand of R1,000 to R1,500 depending on spend. Both Cinemark and Popcorn (Nu Metro and others) provide packages such as Follow-the-Movie (commercials
screened with 1 movie only) and Guaranteed A�endance. Additional opportunities: Foyer, sampling, branding, activations, sponsorships and events.
