Independent quantitative research to inspire, inform and validate your critical marketing decisions.

There’s research. And there’s Proof.

Services

We provide bespoke, medium to large-scale consumer research that helps you see through the numbers. One, dedicated senior consultant collaborating closely with you, your team and your partners across all aspects of research:

  • Communications and Proposition Optimisation

    Evaluation of new concept, communications and propositions to give confidence about what works and doesn’t work – before launch or in-market.

  • Brand Health Assessment & Tracking

    Clarity of brand performance against your own measures and your competitors, not to look backwards, but to find differentiation opportunities for where your brand could go.

  • Category ‘Deep Dives’

    In an increasingly crowded marketplace, we can give actionable insight into attitudes, needs and behaviours of your target market, as well as their awareness, perceptions and usage of the brands that reside within your category.

  • Customer Research

    Understanding your existing customers can help inform strategies to retain and attract new customers. Our surveys will give you a clear understanding of their experience, satisfaction, likes loves and frustrations so you can plan ahead with confidence.

I’ve worked with Louisa many times and would highly recommend her. She clearly understands our business and brand objectives, and this is reflected in well-designed, bespoke research which enables us to confidently move forward. Her debriefs are both aesthetically and strategically sharp, excellently presented and deliver actionable recommendations. She is also a pleasure to work with, and goes above and beyond to meet tight deadlines and deliver additional analysis when required.
