Human-First Marketing Strategy & Consumer Insights

We live and breathe cultural intelligence. We’re not just outside observers, but part of the very culture we’re studying, and that gives us an edge in helping brands connect authentically with real people.

We’re driven by a simple truth: people buy brands, data points don’t. So while we absolutely love data, we know that what truly matters is understanding the deeper human experiences that shape consumer behavior. We don’t just sit behind our desks creating data dump reports. We go out and roll up our sleeves—whether that’s throwing pizza parties at college campuses to test new product ideas or hosting champagne happy hours in homes to learn more about lifestyle choices.

While we’re proudly based in the U.S., our reach is global. We have access to a network of expert qualitative moderators fluent in over 40 languages. This means we’re able to deliver insights with a worldwide perspective, ensuring that cultural nuances aren’t lost in translation.
