AMSTERDAM – The first cross-market survey measuring the media habits, buying patterns and
attitudes of Africa’s most affluent people is launched today by global market research firm Synovate.
EMS Africa shows the emergence of an aspiring, broad-minded and brand-conscious upper class in the strongest African markets. It provides exciting and much-needed data for international media owners and advertisers, who are looking to win new business in these important economies.
EMS Africa tracks media usage, prosperity and influence across the top 15% of income earners in 12 cities across the key strategic African markets: Nigeria, South Africa, Kenya, Morocco and Cameroon. The survey measures consumption of nearly 50 TV channels, 80 print titles, 29 websites and 8 radio stations. It also monitors what affluent Africans own, what they intend to buy, and their attitudes to work, family, shopping and brands.
