Frequently Asked Questions
Here are the most common questions we receive, along with our answers
Superside offers efficient self-service creative delivery, which works well if you have internal project management and cultural expertise. AMAKA provides a dedicated Project Lead who becomes an extension of your team, managing all creative operations while bringing authentic cultural intelligence from 57+ countries. Choose AMAKA if you want strategic partnership and cultural expertise; choose Superside if you prefer platform control and have internal cultural guidance.
MAKA excels for authentic global expansion, especially in African, Asian, and emerging markets where cultural authenticity matters. Our talent provides real cultural insights, not just translation services. Superside works well for markets where you already have cultural expertise or are targeting primarily Western audiences with established brand presence.
Both platforms offer subscription-based creative services, but AMAKA includes dedicated project management and authentic cultural intelligence in the base pricing. Superside may require additional cultural consultation or project management resources. AMAKA typically provides better value for businesses needing cultural expertise and personalized partnership.
Yes, with added cultural intelligence. AMAKA's global team works across time zones for 24/7 productivity, and our Project Lead model often delivers faster results because cultural context is built-in rather than researched separately. You get Superside-level efficiency plus authentic cultural expertise.
AMAKA's personalized Project Lead model scales perfectly for both. Startups get enterprise-level creative operations and cultural intelligence without the overhead. Enterprises get the authentic global perspectives and cultural expertise that Superside's standardized approach might not provide for diverse market expansion.
Both platforms maintain high creative quality, but AMAKA adds cultural appropriateness and authenticity as quality metrics. Our Project Leads ensure creative excellence AND cultural intelligence, while Superside focuses primarily on creative execution quality within their standardized processes.
Many businesses use AMAKA for culturally-sensitive projects and global market expansion while using other platforms for standardized creative needs. AMAKA excels when cultural authenticity and personalized partnership matter most.
