We combine rigorous market insight, multilingual content production, and on-the-ground cultural fluency to help your organization build trust, generate revenue, and serve communities with relevance.

Why partner with Korhogo Agency for Niger and Lesotho
Niger and Lesotho offer distinct opportunities shaped by demographics, language, infrastructure, and culture. In Niger’s fast-urbanizing centers like Niamey, Maradi, and Zinder, social feeds are mobile-first and data-conscious. In Lesotho, cross-border dynamics with South Africa, youth culture, and diaspora ties expand audience pathways. Korhogo Agency is built to navigate these specifics with a localized operating model, bilingual and trilingual content teams, and an execution process optimized for reliability, security, and measurable outcomes.
- Local market fluency: French, Hausa, Zarma for Niger; English and Sesotho for Lesotho, with tone adaptation per platform.
- Channel specialization: Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, X (Twitter), and WhatsApp Business—plus Messenger automation where relevant.
- Mobile-first production using lightweight formats for low-bandwidth environments without sacrificing quality or brand standards.
- Seasonal and cultural alignment: Ramadan and Tabaski in Niger; school calendars, public holidays, and sports-driven moments in Lesotho.
- Compliance: regional privacy requirements, platform policies, brand safety conventions, and moderated user interactions.
- Cross-border activation: diaspora targeting in South Africa for Lesotho brands, and ECOWAS-aware reach strategies for Niger.
We take a goal-first approach, ensuring that every content decision is underpinned by a documented strategy, clear roles, practical timelines, and a testing roadmap that accelerates learning and impact.
Audience and platform landscape in Niger and Lesotho
Niger: practical creativity that respects bandwidth and culture
In Niger, Facebook remains a major discovery channel alongside WhatsApp groups and the accelerating rise of TikTok. Data costs and network variability require creative formats that are light yet expressive—snackable vertical video, framed image carousels, and short audio bites with captions. Urban youth and micro-entrepreneurs rely on social for product discovery and peer recommendations, while NGOs leverage it for health, education, and social awareness messaging. Religious and community calendars strongly shape campaign timing and message frameworks. Content that highlights testimonies, practical how-tos, and community service resonates, especially when multilingual captions lower barriers for broad audiences.
Lesotho: youth energy, diaspora links, and evolving social commerce
Lesotho’s social ecosystem draws significant momentum from young audiences, cross-border workers, and a connected diaspora. TikTok and Instagram drive culture and trends, while Facebook supports local groups, events, and small business sales. Twitter/X provides a forum for policy conversations, public services, and sports commentary. Social commerce is gaining traction through Facebook Shops, Instagram product tags, and messaging flows. In parallel, LinkedIn is maturing as a space for professional services, development projects, and impact storytelling that attract regional partners and donors.
Our services: full-funnel execution, from planning to performance
Research, audit, and social listening
We start with a 360° audit of your channels, competitors, and audiences. Using social listening, we map conversations by language and region, identify trusted community voices, and surface content gaps where your brand can lead. For public and nonprofit clients, we align the audit with program objectives, beneficiary insights, and donor communication standards.
Content planning and editorial calendars
We build calendar frameworks that blend evergreen content with fast-response moments. Each line item includes audience intent, creative formats, platform-specific copy, CTA logic, and tracking hooks. Editorial plans stress consistency while safeguarding flexibility for timely opportunities. The outcome is a publish-ready system that keeps teams coordinated and stakeholders clearly informed.
Creative production for mobile-first realities
- Short-form video: vertical cuts, kinetic typography, subtitles for silent autoplay, and lightweight export profiles for rapid loading.
- Photography and design: brand-compliant templates adapted to multi-language layouts and right-to-left sensitivities when applicable.
- Audio and voice: micro-podcasts, radio-style snippets repurposed for social, and voiceovers in local languages.
- Localization and transcreation: beyond translation, we reframe messages to match cultural nuances and platform conventions.
Every asset is built to be modular, enabling rapid A/B tests across visuals, headlines, and CTAs without rework overhead.
Community management and customer care
Our moderation team handles comment triage, FAQs, and escalation workflows with tone guidelines suited to the brand and context. We facilitate safe spaces for your community, foster peer support, and reduce response latency through templated replies and smart routing. For programs dealing with sensitive topics, we introduce escalation matrices and privacy controls that protect users.
Paid media and performance optimization
We design media plans for Meta, TikTok, YouTube, and LinkedIn that align with funnel stages—awareness, consideration, and action. Campaign structures enable clean learning: split ad sets by audience clusters, keep budgets flexible, and rotate creatives based on statistical thresholds. We deploy pixel/SDK integrations or server-side tracking where applicable and maintain transparent reporting that translates spend to outcomes and ROI. For commerce and lead-gen, we optimize for conversion events, while for public campaigns we tie spend to coverage, recall, and downstream behavior proxies.
Influencer, creator, and partner activations
We help you identify and brief creators whose audiences align with your goals. In Niger, community leaders and educators can amplify health and social programs; in Lesotho, artists, athletes, and campus voices can ignite participation and social sales. Our contracts include compliance language, disclosure templates, and content approval processes that protect brand integrity.
Messaging, automation, and social commerce
We build WhatsApp Business and Messenger flows for FAQs, appointment booking, and lead capture. For retailers, we configure catalog feeds, product tagging, and transactional handoffs to payment channels supported locally. Chat handovers ensure seamless collaboration between bots and human agents, improving satisfaction and scaling assistance during busy periods.
Measurement, reporting, and experimentation
Our dashboards consolidate platform metrics, campaign analytics, and qualitative insights. We define success metrics that ladder up to organizational goals and construct test plans to validate hypotheses. The function is not reporting for its own sake—it is a disciplined loop that uses analytics to inform the next creative and media decision.
Crisis readiness and brand safety
We draft protocols for misinformation, offensive content, or sudden surges in attention. The playbook includes monitoring triggers, stakeholder alerts, approved response frameworks, and post-incident reviews. For public institutions and NGOs, we integrate these protocols with safeguarding policies and consent requirements.
Capacity building and team enablement
We run workshops in French, English, Hausa, Zarma, and Sesotho on topics like editorial excellence, visual production on smartphones, data literacy, and platform updates. When needed, we second Korhogo Agency specialists to your team during peak periods or launches.
Localization approach: languages, tone, and cultural cues
Effective communication in Niger and Lesotho requires more than translation. Our localization framework starts with audience segmentation by language, literacy level, and device type. We then shape tone and visual cues to fit expectations: respectful clarity for public awareness, dynamic energy for youth campaigns, formal warmth for financial services, and aspirational narratives for tourism and hospitality. We validate drafts with native speakers, ensure captions and alt text support accessibility, and deploy layout variants that preserve clarity in mixed-language posts.
- Niger: French/Hausa/Zarma content mixes; attention to religious calendars, community leaders, and region-specific idioms.
- Lesotho: English/Sesotho blends; nods to music, sport, and cross-border realities; diaspora messaging for fundraising or recruitment.
- Visual language: modest aesthetics where appropriate; inclusive representation; legible typography for low-resolution screens.
- Safety and privacy: blurred faces or consent protocols in sensitive contexts; data handling aligned with platform and legal requirements.
Industry-specific playbooks shaped for impact
Agriculture and agri-inputs
We create how-to series on planting cycles, weather-readiness, and input usage, pairing visuals with concise copy in local languages. Live Q&A sessions with agronomists drive engagement, while WhatsApp groups sustain peer learning. Seasonal media pushes align with planting and harvest windows, focusing on community benefits and practical savings.
Financial services and mobile money
Trust-building content anchors this category: explainer videos on fees, security, and savings habits; client stories that highlight real outcomes; and chat-based support for onboarding. Paid media emphasizes lead quality and conversion events, while drip content nurtures prospects and discourages churn.
Tourism, hospitality, and experiences
For Lesotho, we tap into scenic highlands, adventure sports, and local crafts. For Niger, cultural heritage in Agadez, desert excursions, and artisanship spark interest. We combine cinematic short-form with user-generated content and location-based targeting to move audiences from inspiration to booking.
Public sector and NGOs
We translate programs into human-centered narratives. Serial content and offline tie-ins—community events, radio mentions, or health screenings—carry momentum from social to real-world outcomes. Robust moderation and safeguarding policies ensure respectful dialogue and accurate information flow.

Measurement framework and decision-making
We anchor KPIs to the funnel and your organization’s core outcomes. For commerce: reach, view-through, click-through, add-to-cart, purchases, and lifetime value. For public and NGO work: reach among priority groups, sentiment quality, assisted actions, offline attendance or service uptake. We use standardized UTM architectures, event tracking, and documentation that makes reporting portable across your analytics stack. Experiments are pre-registered with hypotheses, stopping rules, and success thresholds to avoid ambiguous results. The aim is sustained growth backed by evidence, not guesswork.

Creative principles that move people to action
Audiences reward clarity, empathy, and value. We use human-centered storytelling to demonstrate benefits, structure posts for scannability, and favor visually distinct moments that cut through busy feeds. Hooks work harder when grounded in genuine utility: how to save time, money, or effort; how to discover new opportunities; how to participate in something bigger. Over time, disciplined publishing builds a familiar rhythm that compounds reach and engagement.
Operational strength and risk management
Execution excellence is non-negotiable. We maintain content repositories with version control, backup schedules for media libraries, and permissioned access to ad accounts and pages. For field-sensitive work, we document consent and blur identifiers where needed. Our moderation queues run on structured triage rules to lower risk and elevate authentic voices. Post-mortems turn incidents into system improvements—incremental gains that guard brand integrity and public trust.
From brief to impact: how we make it happen
Once your brief is confirmed, we align on targets and constraints, then split deliverables into sprints. Creative concepts are prototyped quickly, user-tested when appropriate, and iterated based on early data. Media flights start with conservative budgets and expand after a threshold of certainty is reached. Coordinated messaging across paid, owned, and influencer channels ensures coverage without waste. The result is a connected presence where audiences know what you stand for and how to take the next step.
