Ask Afrika has combined the awards into one event this year because they have seen the importance of the interplay between experience (customer, employee and user) and brand. In short, businesses thrive when they approach brand and customer experience holistically and build the brand-CX eco-system. Ask Afrika’s Wayfinder approach helps brands build this eco-system.

Ask Afrika Icon Brands™ – a scientific approach to measuring brand loyalty.

The Ask Afrika Icon Brands™ survey is the largest benchmark of its kind in South Africa and covers 161 product categories this year measuring thousands of brands.
This study uses a nationally representative random sample, 25,000 consumers were surveyed, representing 28,000,000 adult South African consumers. An enumerated area sampling design was employed, and the universe includes all communities with more than 8,000 inhabitants 15 years old and above. The data was weighted using the Statistics South Africa’s population estimates and audited by respected independent experts BDO and Dr Ariana Neethling.
The data is collected via continuous face-to-face interviews throughout the year, from February to November. Interviews are household based and take place throughout the week, capturing the full life of consumers. The Ask Afrika Icon Brands™ index is essentially a weighed usage and loyalty index calculated to ensure that iconic status is universal across the population.
