We build the USSD menus, SMS services, publishing platforms and analytics dashboards that media houses, agencies and telecom partners rely on when traffic spikes and clients ask for results.
Media & MarketingTraffic surges, the shared hosting gives up, and readers go to a competitor or a Facebook page instead. You lose the ad impressions on the very day you had the audience.
Reports get stitched together from Facebook, Google and broadcast logs in a spreadsheet. It takes days, the numbers don't agree, and the client still asks what they got for their money.
Rural listeners, older customers and anyone on a basic phone miss out on smartphone-only promos, polls and sign-ups. USSD and SMS reach them, but setting it up with aggregators feels like a project of its own.
Thousands of messages, the same five questions, and a small team trying to answer them all. Genuine leads get buried under 'how do I enter?'
Your audience isn't one audience. Some read on a smartphone with fast data, some on a basic phone with only USSD and SMS, and most of them scroll past anything that takes too long to load. Reaching all of them takes more than a good-looking website.
From Accra, Zelus builds the technical side of media and marketing work for teams in Ghana and other African markets: USSD integrations, SMS and WhatsApp services, publishing sites built for breaking-news traffic, and dashboards that tie spend to results. Our digital strategy team can then help you get the most from what we build.
Each of these can stand alone or plug into what you already run.

The cost of a USSD application depends on the number of menu screens, whether payments are involved, and which aggregator you go live with. Our build fee is one part; the USSD code and session charges are separate and set by the aggregator or network. We explain both upfront and give you a fixed build quote once the menu flow is agreed.
Yes, as long as your aggregator covers them. We integrate through licensed USSD and SMS aggregators that connect to the mobile networks, so in Ghana your service can reach customers on MTN, Telecel and AT. We help you choose an aggregator, handle the technical integration and testing, and support the service after launch.
Yes. Each country has its own networks, aggregators and rules for short codes, so we work with a licensed aggregator in your market and build the menus and integrations from Accra. The same platform can run campaigns in more than one country, with results split by market on one dashboard. We'll tell you early if a country's approval process is likely to affect your launch date.
Yes. We build publishing sites with caching, a content delivery network and hosting that scales up when traffic spikes, so pages keep loading when everyone arrives at once, wherever your readers are. We also make the editor's side simple, because a fast site is wasted if publishing a story takes ten steps and a phone call to IT.
Yes. We build WhatsApp and website chatbots that answer common questions, register entries, take orders or capture leads, then hand anything complicated to a person on your team. We use the official WhatsApp Business Platform, so your number isn't put at risk by unofficial bulk-messaging tools.
You own the platform we build for you and all the audience data it collects. Ownership of the code and data is written into the contract, and at handover you get the source code, documentation and admin access. If you later move to another provider or bring development in-house, nothing is held back.
We do both, if you need both. Our digital strategy team handles audits, SEO, content plans and social campaigns, while our developers build the platforms and dashboards behind them. Plenty of agencies use us only for the technical side and keep the creative work in-house, and that arrangement works just as well.
Donor, beneficiary and programme tracking, field data collection that works offline, and reports your funders can trust.
