TDF Advertising specializes in Above the Line (ATL) advertising strategies, which promote brands using conventional forms of mass media such as the television, the radio, printed media and outdoor space.
We began with a simple idea; In order to be seen, you have to do something new. Competition is increasing day by day, and unless your brand is in regular communication with its target groups, it will get lost amongst the growing brands. But what is just as important as the communication is the communication itself. This needs to be novel and eye-catching. And we strive to make our work reflective of this belief.
Tusker Mattresses became Tusksys, ‘Your Friendly Supermarket’, and also underwent an image change; it became hipper and trendier, with the lyrics of ‘Tusksys Mambo Yote’ also echoing this.
We cast a lion in a lead role for a TV commercial, making heads turn and yet again, consolidating Supaloaf as brand leader in its category.
We are also the first to introduce Inflatable Advertising to Kenya, with our exclusive tie-up with Nakumatt. In addition to that, we are also introducing various other innovative and cutting-edge in-store and outdoor advertising concepts. So, whether it’s a print design, a storyboard or an outdoor concept, we believe that our ideas are unique and can make your brand stand apart from the rest.

Old Wives Tales:
We’re already the brand leaders in our category. We don’t need to advertise!
Wrong. That advertising is a tool used by brands and companies, which are not doing well is a misconception. If that were the case, Coca Cola would not spend billions on advertising every year.
In order to sustain in the increasingly competitive market and consolidate market share, it is important to stay in the limelight, make some noise, and keep getting noticed. Or before you know, preference will be given to your more visible competitor.
Advertising is too expensive. We’ll spend on advertising when business increases.
Wrong again. Agreed, advertising is not cheap. But there are options that you can choose from. We can design an advertising strategy within your budget. When you advertise effectively, target audiences get to know your brand more, and learn about its attributes and that’s when business increases. So think of it as an investment, on which you will get returns.
We do advertise… we have adverts in newspapers a couple of times a year.
Ok in essence, there is nothing wrong with this, except rather than advertising as and when you feel you need it, it would be wiser to make an annual plan which you can stick to. Or in other words, pave a direction in which your company or brand needs to head, as well as the route in which it needs to go to get there, to achieve your business targets.
In summary, TDF Advertising believes that advertising is imperative to widen brand awareness, brand re-enforcement, change brand preferences, or consolidate market share. It pays off to be regularly seen where it matters the most.
Advertising is also a useful tool when launching a new product in the market. Communicating information successfully about the new offering is important to generate revenue.
