Transit Ads is proud to announce the launch of an exciting content driven TRANSIT.TV\u2122 partnership with leading entertainment digital platform SlikourOnLife<\/a>. The site, currently one of the top 1 000 websites in South Africa, shares information on urban culture and music. It features videos and interviews to give substance to the music and musicians who may not have access to traditional platforms, and provides an accessible place for their videos.<\/p>\n

Content which is engaging, interesting and relevant is critical in terms of ensuring that consumers and commuters\u00a0 remain engaged with the TRANSIT.TV\u2122 channel. \u00a0The addition of entertainment and music content sourced from SlikourOnLife completes a content rich offering on the digital place-based network (DPB).<\/p>\n

Says Shamy Naidu, Transit Ads Executive: \u201cThe biggest challenge for marketers is actually reaching and engaging consumers. That has become exceedingly difficult to accomplish as consumers are in control and given a choice, they will opt out of watching marketing messages.\u201d<\/p>\n

Naidu adds that DPB networks reach consumers where they spend their time in zero tune-out zones. Commuters in South Africa, both during their commute in taxis and at transit nodes are engaged at a most receptive moment: often on their path to purchase.<\/p>\n

The inclusion of the entertainment offering, together with news, sport and lifestyle content, interspersed with brand messaging results in a more engaging viewer experience. OOH digital screens penetrate niche environments to engage the young urban population that is hard to reach through traditional media. Digital place-based OOH provides important targeting capabilities to brands, and combined with relevant and engaging content, is ideal for brands wishing to reach these audiences.<\/p>\n

Siya Metane (aka Slikour or Slik)\u00a0 the founder of SlikourOnlife says that the partnership with Transit Ads will effectively enhance his platform. \u201cMy vision is to create a voice for the youth in culture and we’ve been able to achieve that with slikouronlife.co.za on a digital platform. The opportunity to work with TRANSIT.TV\u2122 is amplifying that voice to a wider audience across the country that are in transit. This is a monumental win for SlikourOnLife, as well as artists\u00a0 and brands that have already invested in our integrated content strategies online.\u201d<\/p>\n

Celebrating 10 years of broadcasting relevant content, the TRANSIT.TV\u2122 brand has grown to include an audience of 13 million in taxis, taxi ranks, major train stations and bus ranks. Currently over 700 screens are installed nationally, and the reach and frequency afforded by the platform was key in the decision taken by SlikourOnLife\u2019s Siya Metane to provide content and partner with the channel.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom a Provantage Media Group culture perspective, we are vocal and active advocates of nurturing and developing young talent. We run a number of programmes through our learnerships (in conjunction with the SETA\u2019s) at the PMG Training Academy<\/a> and in addition we support young enterprise development, for example through facilitating the reselling of airtime in taxi ranks.\u00a0 Through this we have created mini businesses for many individuals.\u00a0 We believe that Slikour has the right platform to partner with us and we\u2019re very excited to air the content from SlikourOnLife which gives a voice and provides opportunities to young upcoming talent,\u201d concludes Naidu.<\/p>\n

Content from SlikourOnLife is currently available on TRANSIT.TV\u2122. The #SOLIncubator launched on Tuesday 10th<\/sup> October sees Metane using his knowledge and relationships to give 12 young hip-hop artists from cities across South Africa access to the resources necessary to jumpstart their musical journeys. This additional content will be available on the channel during October, adding even more value to brands and commuters.<\/p>\n
