Continental Outdoor and Vodacom are promoting internet usage in Lesotho using four supersized billboards.
Targeting the community
The billboards poke fun at the local community while simultaneously displaying aspirational images.
Promotion of information sharing needed
According to BuddeComm, the estimated market penetration rates in Lesotho’s telecoms sector in 2013 are 71% for mobile or cell phones, 1.7% for landlines and only 5.6% for the internet. These giant billboards that promote development and the sharing of information can be found in maximum reach areas around Maseru – on high pedestrian traffic areas and on major arterials.
The majority of the people in Lesotho still do not have access to the internet and this initiative is promoting the use of digital technology along with quality creatives.
Driving innovation
“Continental Outdoor Media is committed to driving innovation in the markets in which we operate, like Lesotho,” said Adelaide Mckelvey, director for the rest of Africa at Continental Outdoor Media.
