Ogilvy Africa has unveiled OBrio, a groundbreaking media intelligence platform designed to revolutionize the way businesses monitor and optimize their marketing efforts. The platform, aimed at delivering unmatched clarity and control, aggregates performance data from various media channels into a single actionable dashboard, offering the most comprehensive and customizable analytics in the market today. This launch marks a major step forward for businesses in Africa that are increasingly seeking data-driven solutions to maximize their marketing returns.
A Unified Approach to Media Performance Tracking
The OBrio platform is tailored to meet the growing demand for cross-channel performance tracking, giving businesses a unified view of their marketing campaigns across multiple platforms. From traditional media, digital marketing, and social media to mobile apps and websites, OBrio offers a holistic view of marketing returns, enabling businesses to make informed decisions that directly impact their bottom line.
Vikas Mehta, CEO of Ogilvy Africa, emphasized the importance of moving away from siloed metrics that often lead to fragmented insights. “In an era where data-driven decisions are crucial for success and marketing budgets are held accountable, OBrio shifts the focus from many isolated metrics to a single, unified metric of ROI,” he said. “We’ve developed a platform that goes beyond traditional reporting, offering real-time analytics and a powerful OBrio Score to give businesses the one-source-of-truth to measure marketing impact.”
Introducing the OBrio Score: A Proprietary Metric
One of the key highlights of the platform is the OBrio Score, a proprietary performance metric that provides businesses with an instant snapshot of their overall marketing effectiveness. This score is calculated using an advanced statistical model that evaluates marketing data across all channels, taking into account factors such as reach, engagement, sentiment, and conversions.
The OBrio Score provides a unified metric that simplifies the complexity of media performance into a clear picture of overall marketing effectiveness and return on investment (ROI). This makes it easier for businesses to assess the impact of their marketing efforts and identify areas that need improvement, ensuring they get the most value from their marketing spend.
Real-Time Analytics for Agile Decision-Making
One of the standout features of OBrio is its near real-time analytics. Businesses no longer have to wait for end-of-month reports to make crucial adjustments to their marketing strategies. With customizable reports, users can monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) that are most relevant to their business goals. This real-time access allows for swift decision-making, empowering marketers to optimize their campaigns on the fly.
“OBrio takes the guesswork out of campaign optimization. It reinforces our commitment to bringing world-class MarTech solutions to businesses in sub-Saharan Africa. Our solution is proudly made in Africa to help businesses make better marketing decisions while staying competitive in their industries,” Vikas Mehta explained.
A SaaS Solution Built for Africa
Ogilvy Africa’s introduction of OBrio as a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform makes it highly accessible to businesses of all sizes. The platform is available to marketers and businesses across Africa, offering a free trial period for those looking to explore its features. This accessibility aligns with Ogilvy Africa’s mission to democratize cutting-edge marketing technology, making it available to a wider range of businesses across the continent.
The platform’s user-friendly interface and flexible reporting features are designed with African businesses in mind. By leveraging OBrio, companies can manage their media strategies in a way that reflects local market dynamics while benefiting from global best practices in media performance tracking.

Ogilvy Africa’s OBrio platform is not only built to address the challenges faced by African businesses but is also created in Africa. This locally developed solution positions Ogilvy Africa as a leader in the region’s MarTech space, offering businesses the tools they need to make informed decisions and stay competitive.
OBrio’s name is derived from the word brio, symbolizing energy, enthusiasm, and liveliness. According to Mehta, “Our goal is to infuse data with that same vitality, turning raw numbers into dynamic, actionable insights that drive our clients’ businesses forward.”
