Market research
Understanding customers is the bedrock on which business success and strategy are built. We deliver in-depth market research that blends quantitative and qualitative surveys with advanced research techniques like conjoint analysis, and internal and external sources of data to discover what customers really value and will pay for.
Our research is focused on capturing real market experiences and choices. We deliver models of market demand, identify customer preferences and key value points, illuminate unmet customer needs, and measure business and marketing effectiveness to keep the business focused on the needs of the customer.
Research for decision makers
Our focus is on understanding and modelling customer decisions in order to identify market opportunities, improve business and marketing effectiveness and to support business growth. We combine quantitative research surveys and qualitative insight with high quality analysis, and blended with external data and market intelligence to provide forecasts, and to identify pathways for growth.
Innovative research and insight
We are known for our sharp insights, ability to learn new markets quickly, and our innovative methods of research, often using trade-off and experimentation techniques, or blending qualitative research or database and observed data to understand market options and preferences.
Our focus on designing creative research to solve real business problems has led to the create of our in-house Cxoice Insight Systems that provides unique tools such as web assisted telephone interviewing (WATI) with tailored respondent prompts and options, custom designed conjoint and choice analysis, statistical modelling, non-linear questionnaires, fieldwork management, live-data presentations and automated reporting. Cxoice is designed to be an open technology platform able to develop new question types, mock up e-commerce systems, or overlaying survey tools onto live online systems to ensure we can fully address the business requirements without being constrained by third-party software limitations.
Focused on the business and commercial context
The business and commercial context determines what research is needed and how it can best be gathered. We work across sectors and focus on understanding the real business implications and existing business practices so the research goes beyond the data to real points of action. We then use our analysis and insight skills and technologies to solve business problems. Projects often include internal workshops, debriefs and interactive market modelling to explore what-if scenarios.

Basics of market research - principles, methods and approaches for students and non-researchers as part of our commitment to sharing knowledge. Specialist techniques in market research are areas that often involve prices, modelling and statistical estimation, or that blend data sources, or more complex statistics still require expertise. Whereas research into likes and dislikes or simple attitudes and preferences is easy to carry out, more advanced market research requires better tools and more statistical design.
