Protecting your reputation with intelligence-driven anti-counterfeiting investigations across Africa.
At Owana Consulting, protecting your brand from counterfeit products is essential to preserving both your reputation and market share. We design and implement comprehensive brand protection strategies that cover the entire supply chain, from manufacturing to retail, leveraging local expertise and advanced investigative tools.
Our approach follows a structured, intelligence-driven process to identify, mitigate, and eliminate counterfeit threats, allowing you to focus on growing your business while we ensure the security and integrity of your brand.
Our methodology is built on a clear, intelligence-driven process designed to provide full brand protection. We begin by gathering and analyzing targeted market intelligence to uncover counterfeit networks and identify key threats. This insight allows us to engage directly with suppliers, distributors, and local stakeholders through targeted surveillance and undercover test purchases, helping to strengthen legitimate channels and reduce market risks. Finally, we work in close coordination with law enforcement agencies to support effective enforcement actions and ensure compliance with local and international regulations.
Each step is guided by precision, ethics, and measurable results—delivering lasting protection for your brand and its reputation.
We conduct comprehensive market surveys, combine open-source intelligence with field investigations, and collect verified on-ground reports to map counterfeit activities, identify key hotspots, and understand the dynamics of illicit trade across targeted markets.
Through targeted test purchases and controlled surveillance operations, we trace product movements along the supply chain to identify the sources, distributors, and key networks behind counterfeit goods. This phase bridges intelligence with action, enabling a precise understanding of how illicit products enter and circulate in the market.
We compile and organize all evidence collected during investigations and work closely with competent authorities to facilitate enforcement operations and product seizures. This phase ensures that intelligence gathered in the field leads to concrete enforcement outcomes, strengthening market control and brand integrity.
Our three-phase approach delivers a clear and effective pathway — from intelligence gathering to coordinated enforcement — ensuring every action is strategic, evidence-based, and results-driven.
