We're a human-centred, visually driven research agency. Understanding and capturing culture and behaviour makes us tick. We carry out in-depth, immersive visual research worldwide to bring our clients closer to real human stories & experiences.

We enable our clients to visualise in context. We help brands and organisations uncover opportunities to improve and expand through understanding and observing culture and behaviour. Our behavioural insights lead to growth, new business and initiative/design improvement.

Our clients often approach us with a question or knowledge gap. Have you and your organisation needed to know: 

  • What it's actually like living in the communities & environments your organisation engages?

  • What the numbers behind your quantitative research really mean?

  • How can we improve the design of this product/service to better meet people's real needs?

  • Why that key consumer group isn't doing what your other research predicts?

  • What impact an initiative or intervention had on the lives of people it was designed to serve?

  • How to tell your stories from your customers or end users perspective?
