Activation

Transform research into brand and business building solutions.

 

Gathering and reporting on insights work is only half the challenge. Launching it into your organization, generating buy-in, building excitement, and keeping ideas alive are equally important. We help you take research a step further, with methods designed to help teams activate on your insights investment and move business forward. All of our methods are custom tailored to each clients’ needs, for maximum impact.

Installations

Immersive and engaging installations help teams and stakeholders internalize key takeaways from the research. Physical activations encourage memorable experiences and facilitate important conversations about your customers – how they think, what they want, and how your product or service fits into their lives.


Video Storytelling

People internalize insights in different ways. Some teams will respond well to charts and numbers, but others prefer to hear about consumers in their own words. We tap into professional in-house video production to humanize your customers and help socialize research findings. From sizzle reels to highly produced video clips for broad distribution, our video deliverables create memorable impact.
