Industry Footprint

We’ve partnered with blue-chip brands across every single category from Media, FMCG and Finance to Government & Public Sector and Social Dynamics.

Whatever your industry, we believe there’s a story to tell in credible data.
Powered with rich, carefully mined insights, we can help foretell the future and shape the zeitgeist.

Banking

Almost every top performing bank in South Africa, has consulted with Ask Afrika. We have assisted brands in understanding unique and complex financial behaviours across segments, creating positive customer experiences through every touchpoint and driving innovation and integration in a fast-transforming industry.

Retail

Our expertise in this category includes brand health, customer satisfaction, focus groups and journey mapping. For a number of brands, we’ve employed mystery shopping - designed to measure the quality of sales and service, job performance, regulatory compliance, aswell as to test the consistency of consumer habits.

FMCG

Product testing, identifying gaps in product offers and measuring brand association is part of our expertise in this category.

Most importantly, though, we analyse a client’s promise and the delivery of that promise in relation to competitors.

Automotive

Continuous feedback and growth are essential in this dynamic business environment. Beyond the usual car clinics and dealer interviews, we also use a program called Voice of the Consumer. This drives cross-sell and upsell opportunities throughout the customer’s lifespan and provides valuable feedback to prevent brand stagnation
