OUR INSIGHT PHILOSOPHY

Challenging the traditional approach to market research

In the world of the always-on, connected consumer, you need a special kind of agency to help you deliver the right experience to your audience. Brass Insight works in an innovative and agile way, with senior researchers and marketing specialists, to unearth truly impactful insights.

The digital revolution has changed how consumers live their lives - from connectivity, through perceptions of convenience, to interpretation of loyalty.

Therefore we must adapt in the way we approach obtaining, understanding, and activating insights. We’ve defined a number of core areas that underpin this philosophy.

Immersion

Experience design thinking helps us frame the needs of the brand.

Traditional consumer journey models don’t necessarily work so well in today’s non-linear world of always-on, always open. Conventional business models have been turned on their heads, by organisations employing experience design thinking. We do the same too. Every facet of our approach to insight has the brand, and its consumer experience, at its heart.
