Nigeria PR Industry: 13 Quick Insights From The Nigeria PR Report 2016


Compared to the United States, Nigeria’s PR industry is still evolving. It has a long way to go before it can achieve as much clout and significance as its sister industry in the developed world but early signs are showing that the industry is on the right track.

According to the Nigeria PR Report 2016, the PR industry has experienced great improvements in 2016 and there are signs for even more positives. If you haven’t yet read the report, you really should. But first, here are 13 quick insights we gleaned from the report:

  • Talent was and still is the industry’s single biggest challenge.
  • Low barriers to entry ensure that most PR agencies often leapfrog the seed/early stage of a startup’s life cycle to attain almost instant growth.
  • A quarter of the survey’s respondents in 2016 (25.4%) made N150 million.
  • The PR industry is divided into two main parts in terms of spend - the small-timers and the big shots. The small-timers are usually a “one-man agency” while the big shots are medium to big agencies who have been on the scene for long.

  • 54.72%, more than half of PR agencies surveyed, manage less than 10 active clients.
