DStv, the most popular entertainment platform in Africa, has been named the most admired media brand in South Africa by Brand Africa. In addition, this prestigious distinction places DStv among the top ten most influential South African brands, which have had a significant impact on the global reputation and competitiveness of the nation over the past 30 years.
The official announcement of the rankings and awards for the most admired South African brands took place at the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE).
Every year, since 2011, Brand Africa, through its independent research partners, Kantar, GeoPoll across sub-Sahara Africa, Integrate in North Africa, and Analysis in the East African Islands, conducts research in over 30 markets, and consolidates the results into a global and local lens of the best brands in Africa.
DStv’s process started in 1995 as a trailblazer in digital satellite TV, offering an original review insight for South Africans. It launched with just 16 channels and quickly added new features like interactive services and a dual-view decoder to its content library.
Throughout the long term, DStv has reliably developed, embracing innovative headways and audience preferences. Very nearly 30 years after the fact, it brags of a diverse selection of channels, caters to various demographics, and integrates seamlessly with popular streaming services including Showmax.
“We are incredibly proud to receive this recognition from Brand Africa 100,” said Marc Jury, CEO of MultiChoice South Africa. “This award is a testament to our ongoing commitment to delivering exceptional entertainment experiences to our subscribers across South Africa. We are dedicated to providing a diverse and high-quality content offering that caters to all tastes and interests.”
The Brand Africa 100 | Africa’s Best Brands is the only pan-African, independent, non-commercial and research-led ranking of brands in Africa.
