WhyFive is a consumer insights consultancy powered by a unique South African data set called BrandMapp.

At WhyFive we believe in the power of understanding the WHY behind human needs, perception and behaviour. Using an imaginative and creative online survey that sheds light on all sorts of ‘whys’, we uncover facts that lead to insights, that ultimately inform strategy. It’s how we hope to make tomorrow a little better than today.
