Media houses should avoid STC30 adverts on their platforms - Superlife Ghana
Network marketing company, Superlife Ghana has urged media organisations to desist from advertising its product (STC30) on their platforms.
According to the Country Director of Superlife Ghana, Ms Nancy Nyarko, this is because advertising on traditional media channels goes against its business model which operates through multi-level marketing and word-of-mouth referrals.
She told GraphicOnline in an interview that the warning had come after one of its partners had begun running adverts on electronic media platforms.
