Digital advertising
The survey was carried out by Panel Services Africa on their premium online research panel, TellUsAboutIt, comprising 40,000 registered online users.
Who better to ask then, to glean insights into the local online population?
With the IAB's Digital Summit & Bookmark Awards 2016 taking place last week, we wanted to find out the average South African's views on just how effective they find digital advertising.
The overall response was positive, with most respondents admitting to engaging in digital activities such as email, desktop and mobile internet searches, and social media use in the average week for both work and social/recreation purposes. They also feels that digital ads are more effective than ones on traditional media such as newspapers, magazines, TV and radio.
