Facebook's mission is to give people the power to share and make the world more open and connected. Millions of people use Facebook every day to keep up with friends, upload photos, share links and videos, and learn more about the people they meet.

Habari Media is the official partner for Facebook across sub Saharan Africa with a key focus on Kenya, Nigeria and South Africa. The Habari Media Facebook team helps marketers reach their customers on Facebook whilst educating them on best practice techniques to meet business objectives.

Habari Media’s Facebook team is pioneering digital innovation into Africa by working with top tier brands including P&G, Unilever, Vodacom, MTN and Diageo to build effective page, media and technology strategies that engage and resonates with their target audience.

 
Most noticeable is the audience’s continued interaction and high level of engagement with the platforms, due to the relatable content to user’s hobbies, daily interests and the level of entertainment the sites offer.

All aspects of daily life are covered and through this, a diverse range of brands are compatible across the platforms and are able to easily connect and engage with their target markets.

The team is linked directly to the platforms’ ability to reflect the attitudes and values of their readers, as well as satisfy their intricate needs, wants and aspirations.


 
Mobile has evolved into the 7th Mass Media channel with more cell phones in the world than all televisions and PCs combined. There are now 45 million registered SIM cards in South Africa with the most active user base of mobile internet in Africa. This gives mobile huge reach with over 85% penetration through various LSM levels.

Mobile advertising is interactive, targeted, instantaneous, cost effective and absolutely measurable. It offers age, gender, location and handset targeting. The mobile medium offers unique moments of consumer engagement due to the close and personal relationships people have with their phones; moments that other platforms are unable to deliver.

Habari Media’s mobile team can structure a package suitable to your target market and provide you with a comprehensive mobile advertising strategy.
 
Digital infrastructure, providing global reach, and an “always on” mentality has been re-drawn along digital and social lines, putting people back at the heart of business. As digital has evolved rapidly from indexed content, to algorithmic search, to social, consumers increasingly have more tools to manage online activity into a more interactive, personalised experience.

Habari Media’s Professional team offers a unique 360-degree approach to speaking to your target market, from world news, niche business and investment, corporate, personal finance and social media insight platforms.

 
XL utilises mobile platforms which have the ability to reach, engage and convert consumers within the mass market therefore maximising our clients ROI.
