Why sponsored articles are the most trusted form of advertising in South Africa

Extensive research, including the 2024 Digital Marketing Report South Africa, shows that sponsored articles are the most trusted form of advertising in the country.
Over 80% of respondents said that they use online articles and reviews to find relevant information about products and services they want to buy, while 75% trust this content over any other medium when making their purchasing decisions.
This is thanks to how sponsored articles can optimally present the value you bring to your clients in a concise article of 400-500 words..
In this article, you can highlight your products and services’ key features and USPs effectively – cutting through the noise and reaching your preferred audience where they prefer to consume informative content.
