Think about insights and intelligence for brands and BrandSpur Ng comes to mind.
This is a digital magazine whose sole purpose is to enhance the strategic decision making process for brand managers and owners through the provision of monthly market intelligence which cuts across different marketing activities.
As brands continued to spend and talk loud, BrandSpur Ng serves as the pool from which they can be monitored effectively to achieve that competive edge in the marketplace.
Our goal is to tell your brand stories like never before and help you narrow down the options to the most insightful activities that can impact your brand.
BrandSpur Ng exists to help manufacturers, brand managers, owners and entrepreneurs sustain their efforts ahead of competition through provision of monthly strategic intelligence which will help them find their footing in the rowdy marketplace.
We share insights on pertinent issues ranging from the economy (inflation, commodity prices, forex policy etc.), agriculture, brand events,activities, launches and promotions across different sectors including FMCG, telecoms, banking, automobile etc.
Recession in Nigeria is currently making manufacturers including brand gatekeepers and Entrepreneurs rethink their stand so as not to lose their hold in the minds of the consumers and subsequently their wallets.
While difficult times like this mostly favour big brands; smaller brands need to understand that communicating the brand’s assets such as brand awareness, reputation (competence , benefits, attributes, etc.), imagery and deep values among others in an unequivocal manner to remain unique(exclusivity), strong (saliency) and positive (desirable) ahead of competitors (especially market leaders) is a major way to grow or sustain brand strength (market share, growth rate, loyalty rate, penetration etc.). Brands in the height of recession thrive on efforts put into marketing communication because consumers don’t just buy the brand name; they buy branded products that promise tangible and intangible benefits which are created by the manufacturer.
BrandSpur Ng exists to help manufacturers, brand managers, owners and entrepreneurs sustain such efforts through provision of monthly strategic intelligence which will help them find their footing in the rowdy marketplace ahead of competition.
This is the maiden edition, and in this issue, BrandSpur Ng shares intelligence on pertinent issues ranging from the economy (inflation, commodity prices, Forex policy etc.), agriculture (Cocoa), events, brand activities and promotions across different sectors including FMCG, telecoms, banking, automobile, we also included a corner on young budding entrepreneur’s exploit.
The promise is to keep improving, however, we invite you to have a good read and you are welcomed to share your thoughts with us via info@brandspurng.com to enable us meet your expectations - Gracias!!!
Consumers’ spend and confidence has continued to dip due to recent economic realities in Nigeria; leaving brands to fight hard wars for their shrinking wallets.
Manufacturers today are faced with the difficult task of maintaining or reducing cost when every raw material used in production has increased. The real issue here is that the 2016 budgets for many manufacturing companies (especially those that are mostly import dependent) in Nigeria were not done while factoring the current scenario in terms of the customs ban, unstable exchange rate and high inflation. However, at the bottom of the rung is the consumer whose take home hasn’t increased with inflation gradually approaching 18%.
To win in this tough situation, manufacturers are strategically managing brands’ quality and quantity without undermining both from the consumers’ context in order to find the balance between cost and price. Hence they engage in extensive market research while sustaining or Increasing the tempo on communication.
This second edition of BrandSpur NG, not only shows the brands that are ‘loud in their talking’ across categories, it also puts together a spectrum of news about happenings in the business and consumer markets. It reveals the direction brands are adopting to stay afloat in this sinking time, prices of commodities, the impact of celebrity endorsement on brands as well as the potential of charcoal among others for your reading pleasure.
BrandSpur Ng’s aim is to spur you into action with this edition.

Welcome to the first issue of Fascinating Nigeria, the magazine that celebrates the best of Nigerian art, culture, sports, and entertainment, showcasing the country in all its beauty and versatility.
The All Progressive Congress (APC) hopes to clinch the No. 1 seat and they have released their Roadmap to A New Nigeria. If the People know about Government’s plans & programmes, they may have hope in Government’s promises and expect those programmes to be implemented.
As our People go to the polls, ask whoever is seeking for your vote to put in Black-and-White what they intend to do for the people when they get into office; even though talk is cheap, at least the people would have measure (KPI) to appraise Government against.

These slides use concepts from my (Jeff Funk) course entitled Biz Models for Hi-Tech Products to analyze the business model for Uber’s taxi service. Uber’s service enables anyone to provide taxi services and it provides dynamic pricing for better matching of supply and demand. Its value proposition for potential drivers is the opportunity to work as driver on their own hours. Its value proposition for user to lower taxi fares during most times of the day and a higher supply of taxis (and higher prices) during peak demand. The customers are tech-savvy and smart phone users who value their time. Uber receives payments directly from customers and keeps a percentage of these payments as its income. Uber’s patents for a demand-price algorithm represent a barrier of entry and thus a method of strategic control.
"The world's 200 wealthiest people have as much money as about 40% of the global population, and yet 850 million people have to go
to bed hungry every night."
Hugo Chavez, Venezuela’s socialist president: “The problem is not the production of food … it is the economic, social and political model of the world. The capitalist model is in crisis.”
The purpose of revival is for us to be empowered to impact our world with the glory of God. While we look across our nation and realize that challenges exist, we also see that the opportunities are great. What will you do? God is still looking for people who He can send on His behalf, to the world. Will you go?

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.

An astonishing, first-of-its-kind, report by the NYT assessing damage in Ukraine. Even if the war ends tomorrow, in many places there will be nothing to go back to.
