Retail Revolution Survey: What South Africans Really Want from Stores
(Weekly) Purpose: This survey gets under the skin of South African shoppers to answer the questions retailers are losing sleep over. The price war has hit a wall, loyalty is crumbling, and consumers are redesigning their shopping behaviour around cash flow, distance, and immediacy. We go straight to the source to find out what actually drives choice, what builds trust, and what would make them stay. Target Audience: South African adults (18+) who shop at supermarkets, clothing stores, and other retailers

The Mjolo Pulse: A Survey on the State of Dating in South Africa
Purpose: This survey explores the modern dating landscape—the "mjolo" scene—in South Africa. It focuses on what men and women are looking for, the role of money in attraction, and key "prequalifications" for each gender. The findings will produce a fun yet insightful report that companies will find irresistible for deeper exploration. Target Audience: Single South Africans aged 18–45

The Ultimate Fast-Food Loyalty Test: KFC vs Nando's vs Chicken Licken

The data will answer the questions brands are most anxious about before they even ask—revealing what truly drives choice in a R177 billion market where KFC leads with ~25% market share, yet over a third of consumer attention is shifting to alternate brands. Target Audience: South African fast-food consumers (general public)

Target Audience: Unemployed South Africans aged 18-65+

The Entrepreneur Survey: "The Unseen Engine"
Purpose: This survey goes deep into the mind of the SA entrepreneur—the self-starter, the job creator, the person who wakes up every day to build something from nothing. The results will produce a publication that forces government, brands, and funders to confront uncomfortable truths about where support is failing and where real opportunity exists.
