FAQs
Do you conduct research in the local language?
We believe that conducting research in the local language is crucial for gaining true depth of insight. Not only does it allow us to understand the intricacies of local nuance but also the wider culture that sits behind this. We’re proud of the multi-lingual team that enables us to do this. Between us, we speak over 40 languages!
How do you adapt international market research projects to account for cultural differences in each market?
As a global boutique market research agency, we have strong personal connections between our offices, fostered through secondments, international teams and regular global meetings. We collaborate with local market experts within our network on all international market research projects, harnessing their rich cultural understanding to guide the choice of methodology, shape the design of the study, and inform our analysis of the findings.
You have offices across the globe, but how do you approach research in countries where you don’t have a physical presence?
In addition to our global offices, we have an extensive network of trusted partners and local moderators. We work in close collaboration with these partners, conducting ‘cultural deep dives’ at the start of every project to ensure we have a rich understanding of the cultural context to inform the study. From Saudi Arabia to South Korea, we’ve worked with these partners to successfully deliver international market research projects across the globe.
