Going deep, we discover the world below the surface—the triggers of human behaviour
To explore deep-seated thoughts and feelings demands research designed around tools that access the subconscious. Images, storytelling and metaphors are the tools and are always a part of our work. We tailor fit these tools to the methodology that will best deliver against the business objectives and budget: online surveys, one-on-one interviews, diaries, ethnography, small groups or some combination of these.
