INTRODUCTION.

What a year! We had a change in government with a ‘change agenda’. Downturn in the global oil market dampening

Nigeria’s economic outlook. Advertising industry had it rough in spite of the election windfall. Weakened economies of

many states dislocated disposable income of consumers across the country. A new political leadership brings optimism

with the biggest budget in Nigeria’s history. In 2016, agencies will have to do more with less, get more creative and widen

their scope of competence. Boom in modern retail would increase brand activation and BTL campaigns. Technology would

continue to change the way brands and consumers relate but the latter would take more control of their media

consumption. We can’t predict the future. This outlook is an expression of our expertise and consistent thought

leadership. Happy reading!

THE PRIZE OF CHANGE

The much awaited 2015 General Elections was conducted amidst palpable fear and uncertainty. At last, doomsday prediction and the 'end

of Nigeria' as we know it did not come to pass. April 1, 2015 was a breather for the Nigerian social, economic and business outlook.

Moreover, the coming of 'change' and the change in government came with a total overhaul of an existing political and economic

leadership which took a great deal of time to materialize. It created an atmosphere of confused business and consumer confidence,

triggered a massive sell-of in the equities market (fell by 16% YTD). Major advertisers cut their budget by 30%-60%. However, with the

cabinet full formed and an ambitious 2016 budget, the coast although foggy, will get clearer with time.

THE BIGGEST WINDFALL

It is a once-in-four year trend. The entire media and advertising industry gets a windfall from political campaigns. However, 2015 was

exceptional with an unprecedented estimate of N50 billion spent on ATL media within three months of intense politicking and media

campaigns. However, the near-collapse of OOH and Print media companies in the wake of a bearish economic climate speaks volume about

the existing leadership and corporate governance of media owners and agencies, a culture that needs to be corrected.

The uncertain hiatus in business and economic direction of the country after the birth of the new APC Party government ravaged the entire

marketing communication landscape. Because of its soaring rates and opaque process of systems, major advertisers who had axed their

budget saw OOH medium as scape goat. In the face of dwindling revenue, Lagos (the biggest OOH market with 55% of total billing) with a

new government, bullish but pressured to make a good impression (at least politically) became aggressive, revising taxes for all OOH

hoardings. With higher dependence on leverage than any other media suppliers, OOH companies must prepare for a tough year ahead.

COMMODITISED PAYTV MARKET

The payTV market received a boost with 5 new entrants launching marketing campaigns across the country. Moreover, DSTV's leadership

remained unchallenged as new comers lack differentiation. While advertisers might benefit from increased options and channels, the

continuous fragmentation will stretch media budget making TV advertising more expensive in the long term. One major challenge of the

category is the dearth of original content. While DSTV’s leadership cannot be divorced from its investment and acquisition of contents,

new entrants are merely offering duplicated bouquet of channels. A trend that will commoditise payTV. Agencies and advertisers would

struggle to make good use of a positive development in the payTV market.

GLOOM

The new APC party government would make their ‘first impression’ in 2016. Citing the persistent slowdown of the Chinese economy, looming

recession in Russia and continuing weakness in the Eurozone, the World Bank projected Nigeria’s GDP growth rate for 2016 at 3.7% but the

government with a lean but bullish posture forecasts 4.37% with a N6.08 trillion budget (N30.05 billion above 2015 budget). As the budget

implementation takes off from the middle of Q1, we expect advertisers who scaled-down their investment in 2015 cautiously increasing their

weighting across less expensive and measurable media. Digital and Radio would be the most favoured beneficiary of the uptake. We see OOH

facing a tougher year in 2016. As states mobilise to increase IGR, new taxes and tougher conditions awaits suppliers and by extensions advertisers

and agencies. As more payTV operators increase their footprints, subscription rate would continue to crash, more terrestrial audience move

payTV. In general, prevailing lower interest rates would provide respite for suppliers and agencies with huge leverage. Media rates are expected

be stable in the long term of 2016.

THE BANKING SECTOR AND THE TURBULENCE AHEAD

The change in government shook the banking industry to its foundations. First was the introduction of TSA (No more rent-seeking for idle

government deposits). Drastic FX restrictions (caused by the paucity of foreign earnings from oil) and the CBN’s cancellation of COTs on all

banking transactions as from January 1, 2016 will make the banking sector the toughest category for 2016. Many banks will have to

refocus their marketing and service delivery systems for efficiency. With an attractive interest rates to businesses and borrowers, we expect

some players doing away with toxic assets and diverting attention to the real sector of the economy. All these efforts to fight for their lives

will see the banking sector investing in marketing campaigns to adapt to the new normal.

THE YEAR OF eCOMMERCE

2015 was the year of the smart phone. 2016 will be the year of eCommerce. We would see more online retailers coming into the scene.

The year on year success of the category’s end of year sales events (Black Friday) proves that eCommerce has come to stay in Nigeria. In

2016, well run eCommerce sites with huge but depleting investment capital will increase their CAPEX on enterprise logistics value chain,

fulfilment technologies while cutting down on OPEX to reduce their burn rate, gain efficiency by trimming manpower (right-sizing) and

attracting more talents to drive etail innovations. Many would review their business models by getting out of offerings with less or no

margin. eCommerce sites would lock horns with many brick and mortar retailers who in the long run of the year are expected to

synergise with eCommerce to sell across digital channels. eCommerce companies will play a major role in the advertising sector across

Radio, Digital and TV in that order. Their exposure to OOH would be event and season driven.

RISE OF mCOMMERCE & CARDLESS PAYMENT

The year 2016 will further cement mobile, banking and telecoms integration that pervaded the tail end of 2015. NFC and cardless payment services would take

center stage. More startups are expected to open shops in the mobile payment category. We see the year 2016 heralding the extinction mobile airtime recharge

cards. Mobile money vendors and other relevant operators would put on their thinking caps to increase their offerings. Major beneficiaries of this shift are

retailers whose exposure to cash transactions would decrease. Financial engineers would get creative to develop consumption/purchase-linked credit product

to benefit from the value chain. The payment category is expected to contribute majorly to the industry adspend by the end of the year.

RUMBLE ON THE MAST

If 2015 was a rough year for telecom companies defined by fines and stricter regulation, 2016 will be a defining moment in their

lifecycle. Stiff competition in 2015 sent ARPUs to an all year low. Fast-spaced adoption of smart phones alongside the niceties of OTT

apps enjoyed by customers have further weakened revenues of telecom brands who placed their bets on increased data subscriber

base to hedge against falling voice revenue. As more data providers open shop across LAP and Tier 2 markets, in 2016, we expect

data subscription rates to further crash due to intense competition and the scrabble to acquire new customers and gain loyalty. In the

long term, telecom vendors with huge investment in voice would cut ATL advertising budget to push retail and trade marketing for

data services. In their quest to develop new revenue streams many ideas would be exploited that will still keep the sector in the

forefront of the ad industry’s billing.
