GT & modern trade marketing

Win the shelf, win the
duka, win the basket.

General trade (GT Duka) and modern trade programs designed to move product where Kenyans actually shop — built on the same field discipline as our nationwide roadshows.

Two channels

GT and MT, run
and reported separately.

General TradeDukas & kiosks
Modern TradeSupermarkets & chains

Two channels, two field playbooks, one execution standard — reported separately so you can see what's moving where.

The problem we solve

Where most retail & trade
programs fall apart.

01

Stockists you can't verify

POS materials and offers that may or may not have actually reached the duka.

02

Modern trade, general trade — different playbooks

Two channels that need two different approaches, run by one disorganised team.

03

No link between activation and sales

Trade spend that can't be tied back to movement at the till.

What's included

Everything covered
in one engagement.

How we run it

The same operating
system, every time.

  • 1
    PLAN

    Route & channel split agreed

    Which dukas, which modern trade outlets, and in what sequence — costed up front.

    BRIEF

    Field teams onboarded per channel

    GT and MT teams briefed separately, since the playbook for each is different.

  • 3
    RUN

    Verified visit by visit

    Photo and field-reported sweeps, so a duka visit isn't just claimed — it's evidenced.

    Channel-split performance report

    What moved in GT versus MT, reported separately so you can see what's working.

Field note

"The agencies that win in Kenya aren't the ones with the best deck — they're the ones whose teams show up on time, every region, every day."

Common questions

Before you send
the brief.

What's the difference between your GT and MT programs?
General trade (GT) covers independent dukas and kiosks via route-based sweeps; modern trade (MT) covers supermarkets and chains via in-store activation and merchandising — we run and report on them separately.
Can you verify that a duka was actually visited?
Yes — field visits are photo and field-reported, so a sweep is evidenced, not just claimed at the end of the week.
Do you work with our existing distributor network?
Yes, we typically activate alongside an existing distributor or stockist network rather than replacing it — coordinating the marketing layer on top.
