Work with a research and insight partner that uncovers what matters most

Our research and insight practice helps organisations understand how people engage with their digital services – and why they behave the way they do. We combine qualitative research, behavioural data and competitor analysis to generate clear, actionable insights.

These insights underpin strategic decisions, shape digital roadmaps and help teams prioritise what will deliver the greatest impact – whether it's improving user journeys, optimising performance or staying ahead of competitors.

We use the latest AI technologies – ethically and transparently – to accelerate insight generation and support faster, smarter decision-making.

Our research and insight services

User research

Understanding how users interact with your websites and digital services is critical to delivering meaningful and effective user experiences. 

We conduct in-depth user and audience research to understand their unmet needs, pain points and desires. We then analyse and translate these insights into clear and prioritised recommendations to develop strategy, influence decisions and power roadmaps.

Data and behavioural insights

We provide end-to-end analytics optimisation and support, ensuring you gain actionable insights into user behaviour across your digital platforms. 

From setting up and configuring GA4 to track the metrics that matter most, to analysing user interactions through heat maps and session recordings, we uncover key patterns and pain points to improve user experiences and increase conversion rates.

Competitor benchmarking

We evaluate and compare the user experience of your websites and digital services against your competitors.

Our systematic assessment focuses on identifying strengths, weaknesses and opportunities to power roadmaps and influence wider product and business strategy.
