Mdundo has a massive audience across all of Africa allowing us to easily survey and present our research to the advertisement industry”.

The tool is based on daily audience surveys with a focus on four central marketing metrics:

• Awareness: Measures if the audience is aware of the brand relative to competing brands. 
• Favourability: Favourability measures if the audience favour the brand relative to competing brands.
• Consideration: Consideration measures if the audience would consider purchasing the brand relative to competing brands.
• Purchase Intent: Purchase intent measures if the audience will purchase the brand at the next point of purchase.
• Brand Lift: The overall performance of a brand within the Audience including awareness, favourability, consideration and purchase intent.

The goal is to assist brand, marketing and communication executives to measure the performance of their brands and advertisement within the markets, as well as provide near real-time feedback on communication and creative strategies.

Rachel continues, “Mdundo already has a very deep understanding of our audience behaviour and our audience is a relatively accurate representation of the mass-market within Kenya, Nigeria, Ghana, Tanzania and Uganda”

In total, the tool accumulates more than 1,000 monthly responses representing the total Mdundo audience of more than 7m monthly unique Mdundo users – and potential customers for the brands.
