Korhogo Agency delivers social media management designed for real results in Niger and Zambia, where mobile-first audiences, multilingual communities, and fast-evolving digital habits demand a hands-on partner who understands the terrain. We combine market research with platform expertise to build a clear strategy, execute consistently, and scale measurable growth across Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, LinkedIn, and WhatsApp. From bilingual content and grassroots community moderation to paid media and analytics, our team helps brands, NGOs, and public institutions become trusted voices online—aligned with local culture, respectful of regulations, and centered on business outcomes rather than vanity metrics.
Why social media management in Niger and Zambia needs a different playbook
Audiences in Niger and Zambia are digitally active, young, and entrepreneurial. Yet success here is not about copying templates from other markets. It’s about designing approaches that reflect the realities of people’s daily lives: data costs, device constraints, language diversity, and the rhythm of work, school, religion, and family. In Niamey or Maradi, in Lusaka or the Copperbelt, the right content must be understandable at a glance, optimized for low bandwidth, respectful of local customs, and built to spark authentic engagement among people who rely on social channels for news, learning, offers, and support.
Connectivity tends to be mobile-led. That means vertical video and short-form storytelling carry significant weight, while captions and thumbnails must convey meaning even when watched on mute. Communities are multilingual: French and Hausa are common in Niger alongside other national languages; English is Zambia’s official language with broad use of Bemba, Nyanja/Chewa, Tonga, and Lozi. A one-language-fits-all approach leaves audiences unseen. Effective brands craft messages that travel across languages and regions while keeping brand voice coherent and respectful.
Commerce and service delivery increasingly live inside social platforms. Whether a retailer in Lusaka DM-ing customers, a farmer in Tahoua learning new techniques through a short video, or a public health campaign answering FAQs in WhatsApp, the line between marketing and service is thin. Expectation management, responsiveness, and clarity are essential. Investments in content must link to tangible objectives—lead capture, sales uplift, footfall, awareness, or program participation—and be traceable through data. That is why our work never stops at posting; we plan the funnel, set up tracking, and optimize to improve conversion week after week.
Our end-to-end service suite for Niger and Zambia
Market intelligence, audit, and planning
We start with a landscape review: audience personas by region and language, competitor and category benchmarks, platform opportunities, and content gaps. We audit your current pages, ad accounts, and CRM touchpoints, then align channel roles across the marketing funnel. From there, we define positioning, tone of voice, content pillars, and a 90-day execution roadmap, including channel KPIs and budget ranges. Our planning integrates brand equity goals and near-term commercial targets so every post, story, and ad pushes in the same direction and feeds back actionable insights.
Multilingual content studio
Our content process blends cultural research, field-sourced visuals, and disciplined editorial calendars. We produce short video, carousels, reels, motion graphics, live streams, and educational explainers tailored to bandwidth realities. Scripts and captions are localized across English, French, and widely used local languages, then reviewed by native speakers for nuance and clarity. Tone ranges from warm and conversational for customer care to authoritative for public sector information. Accessibility is baked in: legible typography, on-screen subtitles, high-contrast color palettes, and descriptive copy. We adapt brand assets into formats optimized for each platform rather than repurposing one-size-fits-all creatives.
Community management and customer care
Moderation and response turn attention into trust. We operate structured moderation windows aligned to audience activity by time zone, with escalation playbooks for sensitive topics. FAQs, product info, store hours, service updates, and troubleshooting are documented to ensure consistent replies. We integrate inboxes across platforms and deploy smart auto-replies for peak times, while prioritizing human oversight for empathy and precision. We treat each thread as an opportunity to diagnose friction, collect feedback, and improve services—because a brand’s most powerful advocates are customers who feel heard by a diligent community team.
Paid media and growth experiments
We design paid social strategies that scale reach efficiently, expand warm audiences, and convert demand. Campaigns mix prospecting, retargeting, and retention audiences, supported by creative variations to test propositions, languages, and formats. We implement pixels and server-side tracking where possible, map events to downstream KPIs, and structure budgets to maximize learning per dollar. Creative and copy are refreshed frequently to fight fatigue. Our optimization cadence balances quick wins with longer-cycle brand building, targeting a steady improvement in media performance and unit economics over time.
Influencers, creators, and partners
Local creators are trusted storytellers. We source partners based on audience relevance, brand safety, and delivery reliability—not just follower counts. We co-create briefs, negotiate transparent deliverables, provide content guidelines, and run approval flows that respect the creator’s voice. For public interest messages, we mobilize community leaders, student groups, and niche experts, pairing them with light production support to scale authentic reach. Usage rights and measurement are clarified upfront to enable effective amplification on paid channels.
Social commerce and lead generation
For retail, services, and education providers, we design pathways from post to purchase or appointment: product tagging, catalog integrations where available, messaging-based sales, and lead-gen forms. We reduce friction with concise forms, pre-filled data where platforms allow, bilingual scripts for sales follow-up, and well-timed reminders. We also connect campaigns to landing pages that load fast on low connections and make value propositions instantly clear. Our CRO routines—A/B testing headlines, thumbnails, CTAs, and short video hooks—gradually lift response rates, unlocking sustained, compounding gains.
Analytics, dashboards, and reporting
Measurement makes content accountable. We configure event tracking, UTM frameworks, and platform-specific analytics. Dashboards summarize visibility, traffic, engagement quality, cost per result, and funnel health across countries and languages. We separate channel vanity from business truth, linking campaign touchpoints to lead-to-sale ratios, store visits where tracked, or program participation for NGOs and public bodies. Reports include diagnostic commentary and next actions—not just charts—so your team can steer content, budgets, and tactics with clarity.
Governance, risk, and compliance
Trust is the first asset. We safeguard accounts with robust admin controls, role-based access, and brand safety filters. Content approvals follow a documented path to prevent off-brand or sensitive messaging from going live. We maintain crisis playbooks for misinformation, service outages, or sensitive news cycles. Local legal and platform policies guide our work—from advertising disclosures and minors protections to intellectual property usage—ensuring ongoing compliance as platforms evolve.
Enablement and training
We build your team’s capabilities through workshops on editorial planning, comment moderation, platform best practices, and basic production skills for mobile video. Toolkits include templates for briefs, calendars, and reporting. For leadership, we offer executive updates summarizing market shifts and priority decisions, keeping strategic direction sharp and aligned.
Creative frameworks built for culture, language, and bandwidth
Content earns attention when it feels local without becoming fragmented. We use a tiered framework: a universal narrative that anchors the brand, plus regional variations that speak directly to local contexts. In Niger, that may mean concise French captions complemented by Hausa explainers for agricultural tips or financial literacy. In Zambia, English content may be paired with Bemba or Nyanja subtitles for community posts, school enrollment drives, or clinic updates. Visual language matters: patterns, color palettes, and music that reflect local tastes drive more saves, shares, and comments than generic stock.
Our creative approach prioritizes message clarity in the first three seconds: a headline on screen, a recognizable problem-solution arc, and a single call to action. We respect attention by making every second count. Hooks are tested systematically: a benefit statement versus a question, a customer quote versus a demo shot. This gives us evidence of what resonates across regions and segments, enabling tighter budget allocation and sharper editorial calendars. Collaborations with local photographers, illustrators, and musicians add texture that global assets cannot replicate, building familiarity and goodwill over time.
We also design for offline realities. Printable handouts, QR codes in stores, community events supported by live social coverage, and radio integrations that echo your digital message help bridge the gap where internet access is sporadic. Social proof—testimonials, before-and-after stories, user-generated visuals—reinforces credibility and reduces perceived risk for first-time buyers or program participants.

Localization is more than translation
Effective localization means the right language, but also the right metaphors, references, and timing. We map seasonal patterns—exam periods, harvest cycles, holidays, and public events—into the content plan. We avoid filler copy, reduce jargon, and ground benefits in everyday experiences. We design CTAs for local comfort: reply via DM, click to WhatsApp, call a short code, or visit a nearby partner location. While we maintain brand consistency, we make room for localized storytelling that meets people where they are, increasing recall and action.
Technology that supports human creativity
We leverage editing suites for rapid video production, scheduling tools aligned with platform APIs, and analytics pipelines that reduce manual reporting. Data informs creative decisions, but it never replaces them. Our editors and writers iterate scripts based on watch-time trends and comment sentiment, and our designers test thumbnail hierarchies to improve clarity. We continuously refine hooks, intros, and end cards, ensuring the content’s creative spark stays alive as the system scales.

- Consistent cadence that builds familiarity without fatigue
