Result: Culturally intelligent creative vs. one-size-fits-all approaches.
Testimonial
"99Designs contests gave us lots of options but zero cultural intelligence for our African market expansion. AMAKA's team understood our target audience from day one and delivered creative that actually resonates across different cultures."
