What people are saying about us

As our Nigerian technical partner in market research, we have had the pleasure of working with Malokun Labs on multiple projects for numerous brands, including (but not limited to) SuperSport, Jägermeister and Trace Academia. On every project, from the initial scoping call to the final presentation of their findings, Malokun Labs always demonstrate a deep understanding of our business and client needs, and tailor their research approach to meet our specific objectives.

Malokun Labs has been instrumental in our transformation into a data-driven marketing team. Beyond traditional research, their deep understanding of cultural trends, ranging from mainstream to Alté, provided us with essential insights. These insights helped us transform our tone of voice, language, and brand partnership strategy. As a result, they have become an integral component of our strategic planning.

Malokun Labs executed a market research project for Kora last year to help us understand gaps in our marketing and establish a better understanding of our audiences. They were responsive, collaborative, and truly went above and beyond to ensure the success of the project.

“The team at Malokun Labs consistently delivers what we consider to be a great experience. An in-depth understanding of Lagos and the dedication to keep learning about it, an ability to turn good findings into great insights and access to a high-quality cultural immersion that unpacks such a dynamic city in a simple and memorable way.

Africa Regional Director TrendWatching

Genesis has worked with Malokun Labs on several occasions to conduct detailed primary market research and to generate customer insights for consumers of financial products within the Nigerian market.
The work conducted by the team at Malokun Labs was a real eye-opener - insightful and powerful. The service was highly professional, timely and provided us with great insights into the market we were wishing to understand.”

Richard Ketley

Director Financial Services Strategy – Genesis Analytics

Malokun Labs excels at punctuality in a time-adverse city, communicates clearly with both the Culture Foundry team and the participants they are connecting us with, and know the city of Lagos like the back of their hand. Further to the point, their exceptional eye, intellect and insight for deciphering the cultural codes of Lagos have been invaluable for us as strategists.

Half of our understanding around our various research objectives typically come from the strong sense of socio-economic historical context that they bring to all of our long and varied conversations.

I must say, Malokun Labs understands the importance of pre-production, and how it aids the beauty of the final output. I can't say many production companies out here understand that."

I always look forward to getting a brief from Malokun Labs. I am very positive that it would task me to learn something entirely new about that industry and consumers, asides making extra income for myself CONVENIENTLY.

Zainab

Ethnographic Researcher

I have participated in Malokun Labs’ survey on 3 different occasions. I was able to partake in these surveys because I could relate to the topics of concern, so providing the necessary information has never been an issue. The questions are usually thorough and most times require critical thinking.

From the conversations about the possible approaches to take in solving the tasks I was given, to Malokun Labs giving me free rein to find my way around it.

Felt good seeing that they trusted my sense of ownership and listened actively to my suggestions, as they did chip in theirs. I enjoyed every bit of it-- and the food as well. Haha!
