We work with data from a range of sources – from Social, Reviews and Search to Web, eCommerce and CRM – to deliver meaningful insights and leading analytics solutions for the world’s biggest brands.

We work across a wide range of areas, including:

• Consumer and Category Insights: unearthing fresh consumer and category insights such as needs, perceptions, trends and audience segments
• Product Innovation: uncovering consumer expectations and desires for product and product experience
• Brand Health and Strategy: unleashing the power of digital data to optimise the brand portfolio and monitor, benchmark and improve brand health
• Marketing and Consumer Experience: delivering data-driven solutions to inform marketing strategy and campaign activation
• Digital Performance Tracking: showcasing the metrics that matter through reports and dashboards to enable fast and accurate decision making
• Data and AI: pushing the boundaries with digital data, technology and AI solutions to give our clients a competitive advantage

You will get to see how other organisations and teams work, where they are today in terms of insights and analytics maturity and how can we help them use data – from informing their strategy through to activation. Our role as consultants is to help our clients on this journey.
