Most Marketing Agencies Will Lie To You.
They'll Tell You:

They charge: Sh250,000 for a "modern" site
You get: 45-second load time on Safaricom 3G, hidden M-Pesa button, zero sales
What worked: Sh15,000 to add "Lipa na M-Pesa" in big letters. Revenue up 30%.
Lie #2: We'll Get You Influencer Partnerships
They charge: Sh150,000 for Instagram posts with 85K followers
You get: 2,000 likes (mostly bots), 1 sale
What worked: Sh500 M-Pesa referrals to existing customers. 48 new paying customers.
Lie #3: You Need Professional Video Content
They charge: Sh100,000 for 4K drone footage
You get: 47 YouTube views (23 are you checking if it uploaded)
What worked: Sh20,000 for customer phone video in WhatsApp groups. 5,000+ real views.
The gap between marketing that feels good and marketing that makes money is where agencies make their profit.
We Only Do the Second One.
We Don't Work With Everyone
We won't work with you if:
❌ You think marketing is posting daily on social media
❌ You need us to attend weekly meetings to prove we're working
❌ You're looking for the cheapest option
We'll Work With You If:
✔︎ You want truth, not what you want to hear
✔︎ You understand that viral posts don't pay salaries
✔︎ You want to build a sustainable and long-lasting brand
Three Things We Do.
Nothing Else.
We Understand This Market Because We're In It
Many agencies will tell you to "run Facebook ads" and "get an influencer." They don't understand:
➜ M-Pesa timing affects conversion rates
➜ Matatu culture influences content consumption patterns
➜ Sheng/Swahili code-switching builds trust faster than English-only
➜ Community recommendations drive 10x more purchases than ads
➜ Business hours are flexible, payment terms are negotiable, relationships are currency
We don't just "localize" international strategies.
We build strategies that only work here.
What People Say.
Gladys Mwiti PhD. CEO Oasis Africa Wellness
Pied Piper doesn't just execute campaigns. They rewrote how we think about our business. The 40% growth came from strategy shifts we didn't even know we needed. Most agencies make you feel good. These people make you money.

Grace Wanjiru, CEO of Safari Innovations:
They told us our website was killing conversions before we even hired them. They were right. Fixed it in 3 weeks. Revenue jumped 28%. I was annoyed at how right they were.
This isn't for everyone.
If you want an agency that sends you monthly reports you don't read, posts motivational quotes on your Instagram, talks about "brand onions" and "thought leadership," and makes you feel good about your marketing while your revenue stays flat.
We're not it.
If you want someone who will tell you the truth about what's not working, fix the specific thing that's costing you money, build systems that generate revenue, not engagement, and treat your business like it's their own, then ...
