When growth depends on finding the right people, in the right moments, with the right message, few channels beat Facebook. Korhogo Agency builds measurable demand for brands and organizations operating across Burundi by blending market insight, platform mastery, and on-the-ground cultural fluency. This offer outlines how we plan, execute, and scale marketing programs that move beyond impressions to real outcomes—leads captured, carts checked out, service bookings confirmed, communities engaged, and reputations strengthened.
Why Facebook is a growth engine in Burundi
Burundian audiences are mobile-first and socially connected. From Bujumbura to Gitega and emerging regional hubs, Facebook and Instagram are where conversations start, product discovery happens, and customer decisions are shaped. Short-form video is surging, Stories and Reels are daily habits, and messaging is the default path to inquiry. In this context, Facebook’s ad platform provides a uniquely efficient route to build awareness, drive demand, and create direct lines to sales through Messenger and WhatsApp.
What makes the market distinctive is its linguistic and cultural richness. Kirundi, French, and English each play a role depending on region, age, and professional context. Visual codes matter: people respond to content that feels familiar, respectful, and practical. Connectivity realities also shape creative choices—lightweight videos, punchy images, and concise captions outperform heavy assets. Our role is to turn these patterns into repeatable advantages so your brand can win attention and trust at sustainable cost.
What Korhogo Agency delivers on Facebook in Burundi
Strategic foundations
Effective programs begin with clear positioning and a resilient strategy. We conduct a 360° discovery to map your market, customer segments, and competitive signals. Then we translate those learnings into a channel plan: audience frameworks, value propositions, messaging pillars, and creative angles prioritized by impact. Every campaign is tied to measurable business outcomes—leads, sales, or verified actions—not vanity metrics.
- Market and audience research: intent drivers, friction points, purchasing triggers
- Messaging hierarchy: from brand promise to proof points and call-to-action
- Funnel architecture: awareness, consideration, action, and loyalty tracks
- Budget design: seasonal pacing, flighting, and guardrails for scale-up
Creative and content studio
We design creatives for the feeds people actually use. That means native formats, crisp storytelling, and lightweight files—but also local nuance. We produce bilingual or trilingual variants (Kirundi/French/English), test hooks and headlines at scale, and turn real customer language into ad copy that feels authentic. Our content scope includes video, image, carousel, collection, and Reels-first assets, as well as interactive lead ads and message prompts.
- Storyboards and scripts for 6–15 second videos tailored to low bandwidth
- Photography and graphics that reflect local settings, attire, and seasons
- Captions and CTAs localized to context and platform culture
- Creative QA: brand consistency, tone, and policy compliance
Media buying and performance management
We run disciplined experiments to separate what works from what doesn’t—fast. Audience testing, placement optimization, budget allocation, and pacing are managed daily. We leverage Advantage+ where it helps and manual controls where precision is needed. Bid strategies are chosen by objective: reach, traffic, lead gen, catalog sales, and messaging.
- Audience frameworks that combine interest, lookalike, broad, and remarketing layers
- Creative rotation schedules to avoid fatigue and maintain relevance
- Budget rebalancing based on in-flight results and seasonal demand
- Granular reporting: CPM, CTR, CPC, CPA, and downstream sales indicators
Data, measurement, and learning loops
Sound decisions require dependable data. We implement Pixel and Conversions API to strengthen attribution across devices, support server-side events, and navigate privacy constraints. Dedicated analytics dashboards expose what drives outcomes, not just clicks. Each week we document insights and turn them into new hypotheses for testing so your performance keeps compounding.
- Event design: mapping website and app actions to business goals
- Test plans: split tests for hooks, formats, audiences, and landing pages
- Attribution reading: short vs. long windows, assisted conversions
- Forecasting: scenario models for spend, volume, and efficiency
Sales systems and lead capture
For services and B2B, speed-to-lead wins deals. We build a durable path from ad to conversation: lead forms with qualifying questions, Messenger entry points, and WhatsApp click-to-chat handoffs. Lead scoring routes high-intent contacts to sales quickly. CRM integration closes the loop, enabling cost-per-opportunity and revenue reporting so ROI isn’t a mystery.
- High-converting forms with dynamic thank-you experiences
- Messenger and WhatsApp automations to answer FAQs instantly
- Calendar and call booking flows embedded in follow-ups
- Sales enablement: scripts, nurture templates, and objection handling
Community management and brand safety
Winning attention is only the start. We monitor comments and messages, escalate sensitive issues, and protect your brand in line with Meta policies and local norms. Proactive FAQ replies, community guidelines, and rapid-response playbooks keep public threads constructive and informative.
Training and enablement
We equip your team to participate effectively: media literacy for leadership, content creation guidance for local staff, and workshop sessions on approvals and feedback. The result is a high-trust collaboration where our experts drive execution and your team preserves voice and vision.
Audience and targeting frameworks adapted to Burundi
Reaching the right people at the right time is about more than toggles. We start with intent signals and behaviors that reflect real life in Burundi: how people research purchases, who influences them, and what constraints they face. We use a blend of interest groups, broad expansion, custom audiences, and lookalikes built from real engagement.
- Top-of-funnel discovery with broad audiences to maximize algorithm learning
- Mid-funnel education using video viewers, page engagers, and site visitors
- Bottom-funnel nudges with product-focused ads and message CTAs
- Loyalty loops for past purchasers and repeat-service reminders
Placement choices reflect user behavior: Reels and Stories for reach and entertainment, Feed for detail and credibility, and Messages for action. We design creative by placement rather than one-size-fits-all to protect efficiency and relevance.
Creative principles that resonate in Burundi
Clarity beats complexity. We open with the benefit in the first two seconds, feature real people when possible, and use visuals that feel native to local neighborhoods, workplaces, and campuses. Color palettes and typography are chosen for legibility on small screens and outdoor light. Copy is short, useful, and specific—and alternates among Kirundi, French, and English according to segment.
- Value-first hooks: price, convenience, availability, and trust signals
- Proof: short testimonials, before/after visuals, and simple data points
- Action cues: book, call, chat, try—aligned to frictionless paths
- Accessibility: readable fonts, captions on video, light file sizes
We also consider seasonality—school terms, national events, holidays—and adapt tone accordingly. When communities share priorities like education, health, or entrepreneurship, we elevate themes of progress, reliability, and respect.
Performance optimization and budget stewardship
We treat every campaign like a laboratory. Tests are structured, time-boxed, and readable. Winning combinations—hook + offer + audience—are scaled deliberately to avoid fatigue and protect efficiency. Underperformers are paused quickly. This discipline keeps cost-per-result trending down while volume trends up.
- Bid and budget adjustments informed by statistically valid results
- Frequency controls and creative refresh cadence
- Dayparting and geo-focus where performance concentrates
- Incrementality checks to separate correlation from causation
Sector playbooks tailored to Burundi
E‑commerce and retail
We connect catalogs to Advantage+ Shopping where relevant, simplify product discovery with carousels, and use retargeting to recover abandoned carts. Click-to-WhatsApp helps customers confirm size, color, or delivery—removing hesitation. We measure not just orders but repeat rate and basket size to guide assortment and offers.
Financial services and mobile money
Trust and clarity matter most. We build transparent explainer videos, simple eligibility checklists, and message-based onboarding. Lead forms include consent and next steps. For microfinance or savings products, we pair education with testimonials that highlight reliability and community impact.
Education and training
From private schools to vocational programs, we use calendar-driven recruitment pulses: awareness for open days, lead ads for consultations, and remarketing with scholarship or payment options. Parent- and student-focused variants run in parallel, each with tailored FAQs and proof points.
NGOs and development programs
We support outreach for public-interest initiatives with respectful, accurate messaging. Campaigns prioritize clarity, accessibility, and action paths—sign-ups, attendance, or information requests—while protecting dignity and privacy.
Tourism and hospitality
Short, evocative visuals showcase properties, routes, and activities. We pair video teasers with message ads to handle booking questions quickly, and we sync promotional calendars to holidays and travel seasons.
FMCG and beverage
Availability and price cues drive action. We highlight point-of-sale locations, bundle offers, and simple product education. Reels and Stories carry upper-funnel reach; retail-focused remarketing closes gaps.
Campaign architecture examples
To illustrate our approach, consider a full-funnel build:
- Awareness: Reels-first video with local voices and benefits-forward messaging; broad audiences to let the system learn
- Consideration: Carousels or short videos addressing objections, FAQs, and price comparisons; engagement and traffic objectives
- Action: Lead forms, Collection ads, or Messages to book, buy, or chat; strong CTAs and social proof
- Retention: Custom audiences of purchasers for add-ons, refills, or referral incentives
Each layer carries its own KPIs, budgets, and creative rotations. Weekly insights roll upward into consolidated reporting that links spend to business impact.
Technical stack, privacy, and policy alignment
We implement Meta Pixel and Conversions API to capture key events, reduce signal loss, and strengthen attribution across devices. Data flows are minimized and encrypted, consent language is embedded where needed, and we align with platform rules for special categories. Our verification checks reduce the risk of disapprovals and keep your account in good standing.
- Event mapping: view content, add to cart, lead, complete registration, purchase
- Server-side setup to complement browser signals
- Domain verification, aggregated event measurement configuration
- Creative and copy compliance reviews pre-launch
From click to customer: conversion pathways
Clicks do not equal customers. We design journey steps to be short and intuitive—minimizing load times, using clear forms, and offering message-based alternatives for those who prefer chat. Where appropriate, we support instant experiences so prospects never leave the platform. We also improve landing pages for speed, clarity, and trust signals like testimonials, certifications, and payment options.
Process and timeline to launch
- Week 1–2: Discovery, access, tracking setup, and initial creative production
- Week 3: Soft launch with controlled budget, test plan in motion
- Week 4–6: Optimization, creative refreshes, and audience fine-tuning

Throughout, you receive weekly reports and a single source of truth dashboard. A monthly review distills insights into next-month bets and quarterly growth moves.
Measurement that leaders can trust
We tie spend to outcomes with transparent math. Beyond CPM and CTR, we track cost per qualified lead, cost per first purchase, repeat rate, and contribution margin where available. When the path to revenue is longer, we use proxy milestones and model their historical conversion into sales to inform pacing and scale decisions.
Partnership models
Whether you need a pilot, a full-service retainer, or a performance-aligned model, we scope around outcomes. Our retainers cover strategy, creative, media buying, community, and reporting. Performance components can be layered where data quality and sales attribution allow. We also support short sprints for seasonal pushes or product launches with clear start and end dates.

Korhogo Agency combines international best practices with sensitivity to local realities. We collaborate with creators and producers who know the streets and stories of Burundi’s cities and towns, ensuring your brand shows up with relevance and respect. Every asset we ship is designed for mobile, built for speed, and tested against clear hypotheses.

Frequently considered questions
What languages should we use?
We test Kirundi, French, and English variants based on audience and offer. Often, Kirundi delivers warmth and trust, French communicates formality or technical detail, and English can cue aspiration for specific segments. We let performance guide the final mix.
What formats perform best?
Short video and Reels excel for reach and attention; carousels and collection ads aid discovery; lead forms and message ads boost action. The best mix depends on your objective and product complexity.
How fast can we see results?
Early signals appear in the first 7–14 days. Reliable patterns usually emerge by weeks 4–6 once enough tests have run and attribution stabilizes.
What if our website is slow?
We mitigate with instant experiences, message flows, or landing page upgrades. Speed and clarity are non-negotiable for efficient spend.
