For us, it’s all about helping you make more money. That’s why we build a call to action like “shop now” or “learn more” link to a website URL into all our social media posts.
For B2B or Corporate Communications, we understand LinkedIn marketing. Whether you need the expertise to set up a LinkedIn Company Page, Profiles for your Executives, industry leadership content for your page, or training for your sales team on using the LinkedIn network to drive leads, we can help you.
For B2C, we have a team of consultants with diverse experience on the many platforms out there. As marketing strategists, we will help you identify the right platform – whether it’s Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, TikTok, WhatsApp, and more - to align with your business goals.
Support services include Social Media Listening and training in Social Media Etiquette for digital risk management.
Affinity Collective pioneered a digital research offer that provides deep category and brand insights to translate social listening data into an insights-driven quantified category and brand strategy. We can do this across Africa.
Our research reports quantify category drivers, brand health and brand drivers versus the competitor set. Within this report, we include purchase drivers. This, combined with a Design Thinking Workshop has been developed to create a strategy and activities based on real insights that will impact your business.
We know it’s not about how many hits you get; it’s about how many sales you get. We work across platforms to find the nuggets that drive your business so you can sell more.

Affinity Collective is not your standard type of agency. We have almost no full time employees. Instead, we have a “Collective” of senior consultants and agile agencies that have different specializations and industry experience across Africa so we can allocate the right resources to you.
Meet our core collective.
As a team of marketers that love strategy and business results, we also do business and marketing consulting. If you need help developing an innovation pipeline and understanding the size of the prize, a market share prediction model, an insights driven brand plan, or a market entry assessment, give us a call.
Kate Ludwig, Marketing Executive of Confectionery & Beverages for Premier FMCG, “Debbie Shepard has a wealth of knowledge across multiple industries and categories and that makes her a critical and valuable strategic partner. Debbie has worked on strategic plans where she has cleaned up the raw data, designed informative graphs and extracted valuable insights. Her work has involved researching trends, working on new product development, commercial studies and shortlisting opportunities based on size of prize and ease of implementation. In order to lead these initiatives, Debbie has immersed herself in the business and in a very short space of time has working knowledge of the full value chain. She is flexible in her approach which makes working with her and the team at Affinity so enjoyable. Due to Debbie’s depth of knowledge, strong business acumen and inquisitive mind the balance of creativity and commercial is the winning formula that she brings to the table. After any engagement with Debbie, I always leave feeling more informed, inspired, and relaxed as I know that Affinity will get the job done. “
Elizabeth van Eeden, Marketing Manager on the Dog Portfolio for Martin & Martin, “I have rarely found a team that can combine data analytics, operational understanding, and big picture strategic thinking. Working with Affinity on two projects that included Brand Hierarchy and Segmentation and a 5-year innovation plan delivered tangible value to our organisation. The team went over and above with shopper surveys, market data and internal revenue insights, and detailed international and South African trend reviews, which helped us gain insight into our customer’s purchase drivers and highlighted various opportunities, risks, priorities, and size of prize.”
Alan Taylor, NAC Engineering, “When assigned with improving the drab existing company image our marketing team turned to Affinity for help. Our engineering company NAC Engineering branding needed urgent intervention that required a more imaginative approach than we as engineers could possibly produce. Affinity Collective’s knowledge and attention to detail revamped our corporate image by building a fantastic new website, assorted technical brochures and a company presentation video with a new look which brought numerous accolades from our clients and affiliates. They quickly grasped the requirements and understood what we, as NAC Engineering, so seriously lacked in a distinctive modern image. Affinity was not only thorough but also easy to work with and always willing to take the time to discuss our concerns and respond to questions. They quickly derived solutions for our particularly technical requisites, succinctly grasping the image we wanted to project universally. I highly recommend Affinity Collective.”
We believe that to be a success, Brand Managers need to understand the foundations of marketing. That means knowing how to interpret market data, read P&L’s and develop a robust situational analysis to build brand plans and innovation pipelines.
