Brands in Niger and Mauritania deserve a social media partner that understands the Sahel’s pace, languages, infrastructure, and ambitions. Korhogo Agency combines regional insight with global craft to build audiences, spark conversations, and turn attention into measurable business results. From Niamey to Nouakchott, from community radio towns to bustling university districts, we design social ecosystems that respect culture, operate on mobile-first realities, and push brands forward with clarity and care.
Korhogo Agency: Local Intelligence, Global Standards
Our team lives the realities of the Nigerien and Mauritanian markets: multiple languages in daily use, mobile data constraints, patchy connectivity, and communities whose expectations are shaped as much by family, faith, and local heroes as by global pop culture. We build social programs that feel native—content that earns a place in people’s feeds and a role in their lives.
What sets us apart is the blend of cultural fluency and methodical execution. We tailor audience research to Hausa, Zarma/Songhai, Tamasheq, Kanuri, French, Arabic, and Hassaniya contexts. We optimize creative for low-bandwidth environments without sacrificing craft. We moderate comments with respect for local norms. We organize campaigns around community moments—Ramadan, Tabaski, Mawlid, national days, football fixtures, and market cycles—using precise posting windows aligned with prayer times and evening data bundles. We connect physical and digital worlds by aligning in-store activations with social calendars, ensuring continuity between what people see online and what they experience offline.
At korhogoagency.com, you will find a partner focused on outcomes. We anchor our work in clear objectives, lean workflows, and practical measurement. The result: sustainable audience growth, a resilient content engine, and a brand voice that wins attention and earns trust.

Localization That Feels Native, Not Translated
Language is more than words. It is humor, rhythm, and social cues. Our approach to localization begins with immersion: listening rooms with community members, pilot posts that test tone, and iterative revisions based on qualitative feedback. A product announcement in French might carry formal clarity; the same news in Hausa or Hassaniya could benefit from idioms, proverbs, or a friendly voice note. We adapt not just the copy but the call-to-action, the visual palette, and even the posting time to align with daily routines—market mornings, school pickups, evening gatherings, and data-top-up windows.
We also calibrate respect for faith and community norms. During Ramadan, we adjust content cadence, creative framing, and scheduling to fit fasting hours and spiritual focus. For Tabaski and Mawlid, we emphasize family, generosity, and togetherness, avoiding tone-deaf promotions. When local events create uncertainty—weather disruptions, transport strikes, or health advisories—we pivot the calendar and prioritize service information, creating value that strengthens trust.
Platforms We Manage and How We Use Them
- Facebook: The backbone for mass reach, community groups, and service updates. We deploy page and group strategies, live sessions, and WhatsApp handoffs for support.
- Instagram: Visual storytelling and brand mood. Reels for discovery, Stories for day-to-day intimacy, Guides for evergreen education.
- TikTok: Culture engine for youth segments. Native challenges, duet-friendly edits, and creator collaborations built on trend fluency.
- X (Twitter): Real-time updates, thought leadership, and media relationships, especially for public-sector and NGO partners.
- YouTube: Long-form explainers, tutorials, and event coverage. Chapters and subtitles for access across languages.
- WhatsApp and Telegram: Customer service, broadcast lists for VIP communities, and opt-in updates with clear value exchanges.
- LinkedIn: B2B lead generation and employer branding. Executive posts, company updates, and case narratives designed for credibility and reach.
Data, Measurement, and Decisions That Move the Needle
We believe in practical analytics that answer business questions: Who are we reaching? What excites them? Which creative format leads to action? Where do we spend the next dollar? Our dashboards consolidate platform insights, ad performance, and website behavior into weekly rhythms and monthly reviews. We use UTM structures and link hygiene to attribute results. When offline action matters—store visits, hotline calls, or training sign-ups—we design proxy metrics, coupon systems, and survey loops to connect social efforts to outcomes. The target is not vanity metrics; it is visibility, efficiency, and compound ROI.
- Core KPIs: reach, frequency, engaged view time, saves/shares, cost per result, lead quality, assisted conversions.
- Creative diagnostics: hook rate, retention drop-off, caption read-through, call-to-action taps.
- Budget optimization: reallocation rules based on marginal improvements and seasonality.
Advertising That Respects Context and Drives Results
Paid media is an amplifier, not a crutch. We build targeting frameworks that mirror real communities: language, device type, urban vs. peri-urban zones, and interest clusters like football, education, entrepreneurship, and music. Creative sprints produce variants that test color, framing, hook, and offer, producing the micro-learnings that make budgets work harder. For retail and services, we set up lead flows that integrate with WhatsApp or a call center; for e-commerce, we optimize catalog feeds and checkout journeys; for NGOs and public initiatives, we maximize message visibility while respecting policy and sensitivity guidelines.
- Awareness: video view and reach campaigns with attention metrics and frequency control.
- Consideration: traffic, engagement, and lead forms with qualification rules.
- Action: conversion objectives where available, or proxy events with server-side tracking alternatives where appropriate.
Influencer Ecosystems and Community Partnerships
Influence in Niger and Mauritania is local, layered, and often offline. We profile creators by content vertical, language, and geographic resonance. For each campaign, we combine star power with micro-creators who move niche communities. Contracts define usage rights, disclosure, and deliverables; briefs offer narrative arcs while preserving authentic voice. Beyond creators, we build ties with radio hosts, youth associations, sports clubs, and educational programs, turning campaigns into community events. The outcome is not just reach; it is durable engagement and goodwill.
Brand Safety, Crisis Readiness, and Moderation Standards
Our moderation philosophy is simple: protect people, protect truth, protect the brand. We apply comment policies consistently, remove harmful content, and escalate sensitive issues. For sectors exposed to rumor or shock events—public health, finance, infrastructure—we prepare playbooks with pre-approved statements, Q&A documents, and designated spokespersons. We simulate crisis scenarios to train the team, maintain an audit trail, and coordinate with client legal and PR functions. Speed matters, but so does empathy. We respond with facts, clarity, and care.

We prefer persistent value over short-term clicks, and we measure the long arc of strategy—brand recall, sentiment, and recommendation intent—alongside performance metrics.
What Success Looks Like
- A retailer in Niamey expanded from one to three stores, using Reels and WhatsApp lead flows to move inventory and collect pre-orders, while local creators hosted in-store events broadcast live.

- A services brand in Nouakchott stabilized sentiment during a rumor cycle with rapid, multilingual clarifications, community Q&As, and third-party validator endorsements.
- A training institute lifted application quality by shifting storytelling to alumni outcomes, not facilities, and by aligning posting windows with exam timelines.
Why It Works in the Sahel
The Sahel ecosystem prizes practicality and proximity. People respond to human language, not corporate scripts. Data is precious; attention is earned one helpful post at a time. Our craft is to translate your value into messages that feel neighborly and useful, then to reinforce them with consistent service. From the first impression to the final call-to-action, we remove friction and focus on the moves that create measurable conversion. Over time, that consistency compounds into category leadership.
