We’re taking quant somewhere new. We’ve ditched the mind-numbing elements of trad surveys and replaced them with a huge array of fresh and varied questions. Some capture the instinctive and the emotional, others get people thinking hard.
Engagement is our super-power. People tell us more and give us more time so we can provide our clients with richer insight.
Tracking studies get paunchy: “big, but a little out of shape.” We help clients cut the expensive flab, extract more from every respondent and deliver more value.
Our three-step survey development model ensures a tracker is fit for purpose, maximising return per respondent. Sensitive indicators – from Emotional Footprint to Brand Momentum – provide more sensitive measures of brand travel. And our diagnostic 'qual-infused' approach – combining ‘System 2’ and ‘System 1’ responses – means we go beyond the ‘what’ to ‘why’.
We love qualitative research, but it has lost its edge – focus groups have become formulaic. It's time for a little revolutionary thinking.
We engage people in the round: tapping into the social, cultural and the commercial, taking you into real lives. We flow – from home to street to workplace to digital.
Everywhere we push, provoke and seduce – it’s worth it.
In a multi-touchpoint world, brands are less about their USP and more about their purpose and persona.
We can reveal how consumers view your brand and the needs they see it addressing. Uniquely, we can map your brand persona against any competitor.
This clarity has aided major brands – Vodafone and MTV among them – ‘to truly see ourselves as our customers see us’ and move on.
Most of what we think about brands is so trivial, so barely thought through, we will happily change our mind in a second” – so says Byron Sharp, one of marketing’s sharpest minds.
Brand health is built on these ‘trivial’, ‘barely thought through’ feelings. Being vital, your research must read them. We pioneer ways to capture 'fleeting' thoughts - via 'Effortful Likes', 'Bubbling' questions and more.
Most ads seek to connect with viewers on an emotional level in some way. Traditional ad testing captures this ineffectively, or not at all. Harnessing our tech skills and using the latest learnings from neuroscience we deliver nuanced and actionable insight into emotional power.
We also explore how advertising 'affect' translates into brand effects providing clear guidance on the brand momentum it delivers.
One of the hardest things to get right is an employee engagement survey – certainly one that goes beyond a box-ticking exercise.
For real insight, you need to break down the barriers that get in the way of full and frank feedback. Our starting point is always to focus on creating surveys that engage, inspire and – using our proprietary software – listen.
