Qualitative

Interviews
We conduct one-on-one interviews with your existing and target customers.

  • Broad audience coverage (B2B, consumer, customer and non-customer)
  • Multi-market coverage
  • Experienced moderators

Quantitative

Surveys
Surveys are a valuable source of data when used correctly. We use surveys for sizing behaviours and attitudes identified in the upfront qualitative phases. This ensures surveys are always intuitive, engaging, short and to the point.
  • Short, engaging and easy-to-answer survey design
  • Best practice guidance on the types of questions that are most valuable
  • Data collection designed specifically for market sizing
  • Global coverage (60+ markets) and translation services
  • Clear ways to visualise data and findings that are not overwhelming
Advanced analytics
Advanced techniques include simulations within a controlled research environment using a conjoint or trade off exercise to determine the relative importance of price or brand or other features of an offer.
Demand testing
Demand testing is another method we use that puts your early-stage prototype into the real world to understand engagement through measuring click-through-rates or conversion to sign-ups. We help you develop a series of landing pages, and a carefully configured social media campaign that can help to identify the strength of demand and strongest campaign messages.

Audience segmentation

We’ve been designing and working with segmentations of leading global brands for over a decade, so we have seen first-hand what works well and what doesn’t.
We see the primary aim of segmentation as helping teams to adopt a customer-led mindset in all the work they do. It’s a useful method of internalising the customers’ needs and motivations.

Our approach is to root customer personas in Jobs to Be Done. Why? Because a customer is often misunderstood based on the demographic box we put them in. A bunch of customers that look the same demographically could have entirely different needs. By tying together the core demographic attributes (whether that’s age, or company size) and the core Jobs to Be Done of those customers, we can more easily speak directly to what they need.
  • Explore the different buyer personas / segments in your market
  • Identify the biggest value opportunities based on audience groups which are either large, niche but high value or currently underserved
  • Determine which Jobs to Be Done matter most to your different audience segments
