Same newspaper, same day, same sector, different brands. Imagine that!
Who to blame? The brand managers or the agencies or both? The chicken or the egg?

Would you believe that in the States, Europe and SA people look forward to adverts because they are extremely entertaining...
Ok, now come back home, that was a commercial break.

Typical stock photo rubbish. Looks like Scanad. Charge a fortune and deliver sub-standard.

Laughing out loudly Laughing out loudly This happened to me. We hired an agency to do some fliers for an activation at various retail centers. They went ahead and did the sample. When they brought it, they had used the same photo that a competitor had used, and I was in a competitor's advert, which I had in my drawer. And that was the last day of doing business with them.

Totally agree,we have pathetic ads...Despite the big firms having a monopoly if you get into the industry with fresh new ideas,you can make a name for yourself.

Sadly, it is that easy to make money in Kenya if you're an advertising giant. I wonder why the 'clients' don't realise that this big agencies have no time to waste especially on small brands with small budgets.

Clear sign of laziness and complacency.
