The challenge

Outdoor media in Nigeria is bought from a fragmented vendor base, and the gap between what is invoiced and what is actually posted is the category's structural weakness. The bank needed a single agency accountable for both halves of that problem.

What we did

We were engaged as oversight agency for outdoor media buying and monitoring, under a service level agreement covering the campaign. Verification was treated as a deliverable in its own right rather than as a courtesy attached to the buy.

The outcome

The bank's short-code campaign ran across unipole billboards, roadside gantries and branded bus shelters on major Lagos and Abuja corridors, with placement verified against what had been bought.
