and has a significant influence on their business and personal purchasing decisions.<\/p>\n<p>Over 1.4 million ICT decision makers visit MyBroadband every month to read the latest news, find out more about industry trends, and learn about the latest products and services.<\/p>\n<p>According to readership surveys, these decision makers directly advise the companies they work for on which broadband, telecoms, and IT products to buy.<\/p>\n<p>MyBroadband&#8217;s events are equally well attended by the country&#8217;s top ICT executives, managers, and professionals.<\/p>\n<p>It is for this reason that companies such as MTN, Vodacom, Liquid Telecom, Huawei, SqwidNet, DFA, Afrihost, Vox, and Axiz regularly exhibit &#8211; as business decisions are made by delegates in attendance.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">Proof is in the success<\/h3>\n<p>The proof that MyBroadband is the best place to be for ICT companies can be found in the success our advertising partners experience.<\/p>\n<p>A 2019 case study focusing on <a href=\"https:\/\/codehesion.co.za\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Codehesion<\/strong><\/a> &#8211; a leading software development company which advertises on MyBroadband &#8211; clearly illustrates this.<\/p>\n<p>Codehesion has acquired several high-profile clients and development projects through a sustained advertising campaign on MyBroadband.<\/p>\n<p>MyBroadband has also assisted Codehesion with hiring new developers, and our recruitment package saw 650 developers apply to work at Codehesion.<\/p>\n<p>The acquisition of news clients was driven through <a href=\"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/tag\/codehesion\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>sponsored articles<\/strong><\/a> on MyBroadband, all of which detailed how Codehesion can help local companies develop their own Android and iOS apps, and business websites, quickly and affordably.<\/p>\n<p>Crucially, the Codehesion articles all contained a call-to-action link &#8211; which took interested readers to Codehesion&#8217;s &#8220;Contact Us&#8221; web page.<\/p>\n<p>The graph below shows how many unique readers clicked on the call-to-action link in one of Codehesion&#8217;s sponsored articles.<\/p>\n<p>For comparison purposes, the article was also published on MyBroadband&#8217;s sister website BusinessTech, and the two next-most-popular local tech news websites.<\/p>\n<p>As the graph shows, MyBroadband delivered superior results &#8211; with interested readers ultimately becoming new clients of Codehesion.<\/p>\n<p><a  data-lightbox=\"post-image\" href=\"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Article-Graph.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-358955\" src=\"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Article-Graph.png\" alt=\"Article Graph\" width=\"640\" height=\"359\" srcset=\"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Article-Graph.png 950w, https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Article-Graph-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Article-Graph-768x431.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MyBroadband is the online platform of choice for South Africa&#8217;s ICT decision makers &#8211;
