WHAT WE DO

Businesses and brands are constantly evolving, re-defining themselves, and innovating in response to market changes, but going to market with something new or improved, launching new digital platforms, entering new markets, or cracking new target segments, can be a risky business.

However, through a rigorous research, exploration and testing process, we are able to help clients identify and seize opportunities, develop innovative and differentiated offerings that meet customer needs, and heighten their effectiveness and likelihood of market success.

We inform innovation strategy, and test for market readiness.

Insights.

Be confident that you are using deep level market insights to unlock new opportunities – We address innovation from the ground up, starting with a holistic understanding of people, their needs, frustrations, behaviors, and the cultural influences on the category.

Ideation.

Be confident that you have thoroughly explored and evaluated key opportunities identified, and selected the best direction to take into testing – We follow a collaborative ideation approach to exploring, defining, evaluating, and refining new or improved brands, products, services and digital touchpoints.

Testing.

Be confident that your chosen direction will be well-received by customers, and outperform competitors in the market – Once mock-ups, prototypes or refined concepts have been established, next it’s all about testing the end user or customer response, and ascertaining the direction’s relative competitiveness in the market.

Strategy.

Be confident that your market strategies are robust, differentiated and credible – we believe in insight-empowered strategy as opposed to grasping for direction and ideas in the dark. Since the strategies we develop are clearly substantiated, they are inspired, relevant, robust, and actionable.

Since 2004, Submarine has assisted a diverse cross-section of clients, across diverse industries and markets. We have extensive experience engaging with bottom of the pyramid target markets, all the way up to high earning segments.

We work across a number of African countries, and also internationally where our digital market research techniques hold particular appeal.
