SECTOR 2

2.11 The advertisement market is large enough to
support a diversity of media outlets.
The advertising market is very small. In the main it is only the five telephone
companies (SOTELGUI, Areeba, Intercel, Orange and Cellcom) that run
sustained or substantial campaigns. To make matters worse, they have re-oriented
their advertising strategies and are now increasingly using their own mobile client
network, thus depriving the print and broadcast media of an important source of
income.
It is almost impossible to assess what the overall size of the advertising market
might be. The Guinean Advertising Office (Office Guinéen de Publicité, OGP), a
government agency, does not publish any figures.
