Market understanding research.
Identify trends and market nuances to position your product or service for success.

Understanding the wider context of a market is crucial in helping you differentiate your offering and identify new opportunities for your business.
Our approach to market understanding research is designed to provide a deep foundational understanding of how markets think and act, so that you can understand the most relevant way to position your products and services, as well as find whitespace for innovation.
We approach market understanding research by looking at the wider spheres of influence on a market, taking a macro understanding of trends and behaviors before zooming in on specific nuances within your desired target audience. We partner with you throughout to ensure we build on your existing knowledge, to deliver new news.
To inform market understanding research, we bring together insight from a diverse range of sources: consumers, subject matter experts and secondary research materials – including your own past learnings and established cultural norms. This approach allows us to combine broad contextual learnings with targeted findings that we can workshop into detailed action plans with your team.
The impact market understanding research can have on your business:
Develop a rich macro understanding of a market to inform your strategy
By understanding the lifestyle, needs and wants, attitudes and cultural context of your target audience, we can provide a clear list of tangible actions based upon market observations.
Find whitespace for innovation

Their ability to understand business goals and translate them to research objectives as well as a high degree of flexibility by collaborating with clients and providing recommendations that are otherwise overlooked differentiate them from other research agencies in the market.
