Our Research Offering

We believe research
should be generative

Rooted in holistic thinking - and driving energy and action.

We help clients answer big questions.

Where will our future audience growth come from?

How can our mission truly galvanize our workforce?

What’s our next billion dollar product?

How can we shift our presence in people’s lives from functionally useful to emotionally valuable?

How can we define a living vision for the future of our organization?

Big questions like this demand a broad view.

We gather inputs from a wide range of participants – inside and outside our client’s organization – to approach the inquiry holistically. In doing that, we apply a mix of methods – from in-depth interviews to quant surveys, from salons to digital diaries – to arrive at richer insights than single-source research methods can.

And we design for impact in delivering our findings. Slide decks rarely galvanize change. So we build tools: websites, posters, immersive rooms, to bring the thinking to life and inspire generative action.

That’s why we always co-create bespoke engagement plans

Inspire

2–3 weeks

When you need answers to make big decisions quickly, we leverage a range of innovative research methods to quickly gather directional nuggets of wisdom or to prove a given hypothesis.

Investigate

4–6 weeks

When you’re looking for deeper insights like understanding behavior across a range of demographics or audience groups as a foundation for brand, business, or product development.

Immerse

7+ weeks

When you need strategic rigor and statistical significance found only in comprehensive research, using both qualitative and quantitative inputs to define your strategy.

We deploy a variety of methodologies to understand the human systems around your organization.

In-depth interviews

This feels like getting to know a complete stranger, and by the end of a conversation, knowing what it means to be in their shoes.

Surveys

There’s strength in numbers – our surveys can help you reach untapped audiences to drive insights at scale.

Ethnography

We are embedded within our participants’ lives to understand the culture that is impacting them and explore how it impacts their emotional and functional needs.

Concept testing

To pressure test our ideas, from products to model to campaigns, we may create simulations that reveal customers’ willingness or conduct user testing that enables us to learn about usability, form and function.

Comeptitive review

We scan the market to understand the competitive landscape, including how customers currently address their needs and how they may perceive our offering.

Co-creation workshop

We’ll work side by side to design solutions together, gathering feedback, arriving at insights, and making edits in real time.

And we actively engage teams...

...by delivering tools that equip and inspire your people to take action today or design for tomorrow.
