hello my people what do you think about advertising agency in other country and the one we have here in nigeria ?? lets take US for the case study

This is the issue i have with them.
A friend of my got a job in an Advertising Agency and i asked her what is the name of the agency and she mentioned one name like that well known agency but when i try to google the company no search came out so i wondering why will an agency exit and you woun't be able to find them online ! that means they are not practicing what they preach

I think Website is another means of advertisement any message you convey through the use of visuals and imagery are all called advertisement.

For instance if i google up an agency from the US, i could easyly find them on the internet sharply but here in nigeria, with close to hundreds of them just 10 of them that i can figure out got there website why some their web aren't working either, or maybe their website is badly designed.

i expect an agency to atleast have it at the back of their minds that website is also a means of advertisment

if i tell an agency that i'm starting a new company and i want them to create a branding for my company, i should expect them to include website to their quotation.

this agencies abroad, create online campaign for their clients, but the ones we have here don't do it, don't know why they are not considering website design as part of advertisement.

I believe every ad agency in Nigeria should have a website by now. If you have been around for a while, you would have noticed the trend in the naming convention of ad agencies. They all (most of them) used to be and are still affiliated to sister global companies.
Insight Used to be Insight Grey (Grey global as sister company)
Rosabel (leo burnett as sister company)
STB McCann (Mc Cann Erikson as sister company)
Lintas Lowe (lowe as sister company)
DDB Lagos (DDB as sister company)
SO&U Saatchi (Saatchi & Saatchi as sister company)
The list goes on, The global sister companies would never allow the local Nigerian representatives to portray them in a bad light. Look at it like some form of franchising. Nandos, Barcelos, etc are all franchises and the parent body would never allow them to portray them in bad light. So if the ad agency your friend works in is affiliated with a global sister company, they are doing well, I believe.

those are the ones i can point out i can send via email close to 200 of them that we have you go see them just an email to yahoo and even the yahoo sucks woun't go check www.pestherbrands.com they preach good brand design but their website is so poor maaaaaaaaaaan. i tier ja re sojio  you know want make i con meet ya make we rub mind together abi how ur daughter

Our office doors are always open for business 24/7

smart and soji, seems you duo are the champions in here or what? All is just letting you both do your thing the way you want out here. What's really behind this?

Champions? Far from it. Personaly I just try to contribute in any way I can to the good of my industry.

@Smartsoft
When will you decide to settle down and be known for one or two good stuff rather than poking into everything that passes by? Every thing dey worry u my guy. You go old quick O!

You words man ! Please have been observing you for long now and your words are been indirectly targeted to me  just stay cool and don't get me Vex  i can post any topic as long as it's own my mind,  since i can't stop people and ask them  i can ask people what they feel  so you can't tell me where to belong or something !

And can you make this clear to me ?
When will you decide to settle down and be known for one or two good stuff

Pretty true words abi?

Your point still don't make sense, put it in away i can understand

You're spamming the graphics thread! It can't be put any simpler than that!!!

Well, Kemjisuper, I have read on another thread in this section, the one you started sometime in 2007 or so, you attacking Smartsoft, what really is it all about. Or is it because he was asking to close the thread because it is an old one or what? At least, he contributed, didn't he? What is the fight all about? Wondering at that.

As for the spamming thing, can you please explain better?

Sorry about the whole ranting thingy - I'm just less busy at work today!

But about the spamming issue? Why not count the number of topics smartsoft has started in the graphics section alone in the space of a lil under a month. Better still, how many of them keep people coming back? Most are pretty much abandoned, even by smartsoft himself. It just seems to be a new bad habit, my opinion sha!

Nothing personal, but well, he did ask for my thread to be closed after about 7 pages of some interesting stuff

I pretty understood when I read through all new posts in this section this morning. Well, don't really take it too personal. We all are in this things together.

Cheers and continue your good works!

ask am oooo
