Small agencies (and their clients) are embracing partnerships for everything from video production to primary research.
We are a small but mighty, woman-led team of researchers.
We help you understand what your target audience thinks, feels, and does — so that you can make decisions that thrill them.
We help our clients make smart decisions
by understanding what people think, feel and do.
by understanding what people think, feel and do.
We develop and execute research strategies, from traditional customer satisfaction surveys to cutting-edge digital research, that unlock information about target audiences to help companies:

• Ideate product or campaign development
• Measure the ROI of a program or campaign

We utilize focus groups, in-home or in-store ethnographies, online research communities and one-on-one interviews to allow clients to:
• Drill down into attitudes and experiences — while allowing for discussion and ideation around best case scenarios.
• Understand how consumers are really using a product– and what their unmet needs are.
• Test reactions to content such as messages, ads, or packaging.
• Gain a rich understanding of a target audience’s attitudes and behaviors.

Online, telephone, and in-person surveys can:
• Provide “hard numbers” on awareness, attitudes, or behaviors. See how our online survey helped the American Red Cross drive publicity and enrollments by demonstrating Americans’ lack of swimming skills.
• Inform decisions. Combined with qualitative work, a door-to-door survey uncovered community sentiment so appropriate policy could be proposed.
• Measure impact of a program or campaign. We implemented a long-term consumer tracking study and mapped results to media outreach activities, justifying investment in a media campaign.
