The Future Of Strategic Marketing And Distribution In Nollywood Is Here

The Nigerian Movie industry popularly known as Nollywood is the world’s second largest movie producing industry by volume, worth $5 Billion as of December 2015.

An average of 1500 movies are produced in Nigeria every year. Yet scourges in the forms of piracy and lack of enough distribution channels are the largest plagues eating up profits and hindering growth. Various distribution and marketing channels have been tested but the scourges still persist.

So How Exactly Can Effective Distribution And Marketing Be Achieved Within The Industry?

Nigerians more than ever spend more time feeding on videos, memes, gifs, audio and other forms of communication more than ever before. That wasn’t Nigeria 5 years ago! If we take a look at what foreign markets such as Hollywood and the Chinese market are doing, then we would have an idea of what to do next.
