Advertising market research.
Optimising your campaigns through powerful market research
Ash Awasthi
Advertising Agency Market Research Lead
We work with advertising agencies to help them maximise the impact of their campaigns.
By marrying our expertise in market research with your creative capabilities, we can help you develop ads that cut through and deliver value for your clients. We can support you at the start of the process, unearthing the core human truths needed to inspire great creative. We can also test ads prior to launch, helping to refine campaigns so that they resonate with your client’s target audience and deliver against their objectives. Finally, post launch, we can help in evaluating overall ad performance, pinpointing opportunities for your clients to increase the impact of their marketing spend.
Our experience in this space is vast. We’ve helped ad agencies get closer to their target audiences and test ads across multiple markets – and with various audiences – from farmers to vets to investors.

What Makes Japan’s Social Media Feeds So Quietly Distinct?
In Japan, the loudest thing on social media might be silence. While nearly 80% of the population actively uses social platforms, few are broadcasting their lives. They scroll quietly, post sparingly, and conform to cultural expectations of privacy and restraint. This restraint reflects meiwaku—the deeply rooted cultural norm of not drawing attention or causing discomfort, […]
Why Scooters, Not Cars, Are Leading Asia’s Electric Future.
While the world watches Tesla, a more profound electric shift is unfolding in Asia. And it’s happening on two wheels. More than 9.6 million electric two-wheelers were sold across Asia in 2023, compared to fewer than 2 million electric cars.

Popadelics’ truffle-dusted shiitake chips were gone by midday. And when the Natural Products Expo West wrapped for the year, trend watchers were left with one […]
How Market Research is Adapting to the Attention Economy.
Every second, a huge amount of content competes for our attention—news feeds refresh, notifications alert us, and videos play automatically before we can skip them. People aren’t just scrolling through; they’re avoiding, filtering, and tuning out. This overload of information has made our attention very valuable. Recent studies indicate the average human attention span has […]
We knew from the start that the inaugural GoBear Financial Health Index was going to need the right research partner to realise our vision. This team needed a curious mind, sharp analysis, as well as the willingness to roll up their sleeves and get hands on with us. Kadence International has proven to be that partner and the study’s success has exceeded my expectations. I am excited to see future iterations of the study with them by our side.
