Adam leads on quantitative research methods. Emma is your qualitative research expert. Whatever you need, in one place.
Research design
Finding the right approach
We can help from the start, developing your research aims and questions with you and coming up with the right research methodologies: quantitative, qualitative or a bit of both.
Focus groups
Start a discussion
We develop discussion guides and then expertly facilitate discussions between participants, whether that's in-person or online. We advise on and manage recruitment so we're speaking to the right people.
In-depth interviews
Dig deeper
Typically these are one-to-one interviews and could be online, telephone or in-person. Explore opinions and attitudes in more detail, which is particularly useful for sensitive or complex topics.
Online surveys
Efficient and effective data collection
We design and host professional, accessible surveys using specialist software. Our most regular online survey projects are staff surveys, resident surveys and audience surveys.
Online communities
Bringing the best of remote qual
We bring together online communities, large and small, using a specialist platform. Start conversations with and between participants and set a range of research tasks and activities.
Desk research
Let's see what's already out there
We undertake desk research using other data sources to develop area profiles, population health analysis, state of the sector reports and more.
Expert analysis
We'll get the most from your data
We might apply statistical tests to compare response groups, weight data against your target population or create new variables and segments.
Research reports
We find and tell powerful stories
We develop creative, visual and interactive research reports tailored to what you need using specialist reporting software.
Presentations and workshops
Understand what it all means
We share the findings from our research with a range of different audiences through presentations, learning sessions and facilitated workshops.
