The South African Audience Research Foundation (SAARF) is a non-profit organisation which publishes media audience and product/brand research on traditional media.[1]

It was formerly known as the South African Advertising Research Foundation (following a name change in 2012).[1][2][3]

It is primarily known for its research surveys AMPS, RAMS and TAMS[4][5] in addition to other products such as SAARF Development Index and the SAARF Universal Living Standards Measure (LSMs).[6]

  • 2013 (June): Clare O’Neill (chairman) withdrew from the board after SAARF Annual General Meeting (AGM).[13]

Surveys

The surveys are done by Nielsen on behalf of SAARF.[1]

  • All Media and Products Survey (AMPS): covers the total population of South Africa that is at least 15 years of age (prior to 2009, the survey covered persons 16 years and older). Interviewers with laptops do in-home interviews using Double Screen - Computer Assisted Personal Interviewing (DS-CAPI).[7] The AMPS data is released twice a year, based on 12-month rolling data.
  • Radio Audience Measurement Survey (RAMS): At the end of the above mentioned interview, a RAMS diary (containing a list of radio stations in South Africa) is left with the respondent for a week so as to gain radio listenership.[7] The RAMS data is released six times a year, based on period-on-period as well as year-on-year data.
  • Television Audience Measurement Survey (TAMS).
