Rewards channel
Build positive brand relationships by rewarding user engagement with e-vouchers or discounts for your product or service.
Positive social messaging
Associate your brand with a social purpose. Omang devices provide a non-invasive, personalised channel for positively messaging each learner, their family and community.
Consumer market insights
Consumer surveys provide real-time insights into this market’s needs, which will help your brand to improve the consumer experience and drive brand loyalty.
Talent pipeline
Interact at scale with learners in their final years of secondary school. We can help to identify potential and drive skills development through tailor-made content for those candidates.

Measurable
Social Investment
Odin Education is an interactive, data-driven platform, which makes rich information available for detailed return-on-investment (ROI) reporting.
Sponsors receive login access to their beneficiary school’s online dashboard, allowing them to monitor progress and performance in real time. (See example data.)
Some of the trackable indicators include:
- Number of active users
- Daily usage stats
- Most studied subjects
- Most accessed content
- Most used web platforms
This is not a faceless or undefined investment. Corporate sponsors can rest assured that their social investment is both quantifiable and significant, with a measurable impact on individual lives over time.

In Their
Own Words
Sibonisiwe Cakwebe
Learner | Newton Technical High School
“Having the tablet has truly been the best thing ever for me. Data used to be my problem as I couldn’t download the study guides and textbooks that I wanted but now I can. This has helped me a lot by getting extra work, books and others. This also helps me understand the work that maybe I didn’t understand well at school.”
Xhanti Qandana
Learner | Douglas Mbopa High School
“This is huge for us, as we come from very underprivileged homes. This device will enable us to function better, as everything we need is at our disposal. It’s like having a second teacher.”
Zolile Malotana
Headmaster | Nqweba Secondary School
“It is going to help the teachers a lot because now, learners can communicate with their teachers about any challenges they are having and, similarly, if there’s something that comes up from the educator, it is easy for them to communicate with learners through the devices.”
Putsoe Modukanele
Headmaster | Olien Secondary School
“Being situated in the rural part of the Free State, the norm would be that we are behind the times. But with the Omang device, we can keep up with the times and teach beyond the classroom. This device has allowed our learners to find information for themselves outside the library hours.”
