About
AMR Group is the first comprehensive marketing support services agency in Afghanistan. AMR’s mission is to provide actionable, evidence-based insights to its clients in a way that is credible, transparent, and cost-effective.As 2014 came to a close, it became clear to everyone working in the Afghan private sector that the economy was cooling down. As foreign military forces and non-government organizations left the country, so did the high-dollar service and support contracts. In a leaner, more competitive economy, companies would have to get smarter with their marketing activities and budgets or face an untimely end.
Afghanistan Monitoring & Research (AMR) was established in November 2014, and received its business license in January 2015. AMR Group now consists of three subsidiary companies: Afghanistan Monitoring & Research (media monitoring and market research), AMR Production (visual media production and event management), and Rooms Advertising Services (property advertising and website development). Our full company profile can be accessed here.
