Market research in the United Kingdom – our capabilities.
From London to Edinburgh, Manchester to Cardiff, we are the go-to partner for market research in the UK
At Kadence we conduct market research for UK brands in all different sectors so they can set themselves apart from their competition.
From full-service research and fieldwork projects to granular communication strategies, we help our clients in the United Kingdom get to the bottom of what their customers want and need. No matter what market.
With over 30 years experience working closely with businesses in the B2B space, Kadence is amongst the top market research firms in the UK. From our United Kingdom headquarters in London, we help clients gain a clear understanding of how they can accelerate growth in their target markets — be that in the region or overseas.
Down the years we’ve helped some of the world’s biggest global brands tap into their audiences to deliver successful marketing campaigns, product launches and communication strategies. For example we helped Mitsubishi get more of an insight into how its vehicles were being used in the UK and we worked with Unilever Food Solutions to launch a range of multi-market products.
As one of Kadence International’s global offices, our UK team reflects our international outlook and can speak 15 different languages. So whatever market research challenges you’re facing, we’ll be able to design the best approach to help you hit your goals.
We are consistently recognised as one of the top market research agencies in London
