SECTOR 2

The All Media Products Survey for 2011 showed that the advertising spend for
2011 was TZS101 billion (USD 64,640,000) with television securing the bulk of
this, followed by print and then radio. In 2009 this figure was TZS84 billion, which
swelled to TZS103 billion in 2010.
“Despite this large sounding figure (TZS101 billion), advertising brings less
revenue per advert in Tanzania compared to neighbouring countries.”
The top advertisers are the four telecommunication companies, Vodacom, Airtel,
Zantel and Tigo (CHECK), followed by beverage companies, Pepsi and Hakalima,
and then Tanzania Breweries Limited.
