Strategy and research

Market Research

Market research validates demand, customer priorities and market conditions before you spend. It's the groundwork that makes campaigns land.

We focus on research you can act on: is there enough demand, who exactly is buying and why, how do they choose, what language do they use, and where is the channel opportunity. The output is a positioning and targeting brief your campaigns and pages are built from.

FAQ

Market Research: common questions

01

How long does research take?

Typically 2-3 weeks depending on whether primary interviews or surveys are involved.

02

Do you talk to our customers?

Where possible, yes — a small number of structured interviews often produces the most useful insight. We can also mine reviews and support data.

03

Is this separate from strategy?

Research is the input; marketing strategy turns it into a plan. We often run them together.

04

What if research shows the opportunity is small?

Then it's saved you a much larger media spend. We'll recommend where the realistic opportunity is instead.
