What We Do
Our Services
From concept testing to advanced analytics, our services are designed around one goal: giving decision-makers the clarity they need to act with confidence across African markets.
Innovation & Growth Research
We help organizations pressure-test ideas before committing resources, combining rigorous concept evaluation with real African consumer perspectives to reduce the risk of costly missteps.
Consumer, Market & Brand Intelligence
We build structured, repeatable intelligence frameworks that keep you connected to your consumers, your brand health, and the markets you compete in, so shifts don't catch you off guard.
Qualitative & Social Research
Numbers tell you what is happening. Our qualitative work tells you why. We go deeper into context, culture, and lived experience to surface insight that surveys alone can't reach.
Data Collection
Reliable insight starts with reliable data. We collect high-quality primary data across African markets using CAPI, CATI, and online methods with rigorous quality controls at every stage.
Data Science & Advanced Analytics
We apply modern analytics from predictive modeling to sentiment analysis where they genuinely add value, translating complex data into clear strategic direction.

Find answers to commonly asked questions about our services
What kinds of organizations does ZephIR work with?
We work with marketing and brand leaders, strategy and insights teams, innovation managers, and public sector organizations operating in African markets. Our clients range from multinational companies seeking local market clarity to development sector organizations needing evidence for strategic decisions.
How does an engagement with ZephIR typically work?
Every engagement begins with understanding the real decision behind the brief. From there, we design only the research that’s needed — no unnecessary complexity — execute it with high methodological standards, and translate findings into clear implications and recommendations you can act on.
Do you work across multiple African markets?
Yes. Our founder has nearly two decades of experience across multiple African markets, spanning both agency and client-side roles. We bring contextual intelligence — not just data — to markets where local nuance matters enormously.
What makes ZephIR different from a large research agency?
As a founder-led consultancy, every engagement benefits from senior-level thinking throughout — not just at the pitch stage. We combine the rigor of global research standards with the agility and context of a specialist African market firm.
Can ZephIR help if we already have data but don't know what to do with it?
Absolutely. One of the most common challenges we address is existing data that hasn’t translated into action. Our analytics and insight translation work helps organizations move from data to decisions.
