Primary Research for B2B Leaders
Looking for Original Insights

Our team designs and carries out research using custom quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews to collect original insights and unique viewpoints. From this research, we develop whitepapers, trend reports, benchmark studies, and policy briefs that position your brand as a trustworthy source. We take time to thoroughly understand your target audience, whether that’s your customers, stakeholders, or the media.

Why Original Insights Perform Better than Generic Content

Content that is AI-generated or desk-based often uses the same format and storyline. Leaders and policymakers can spot this from a mile away. They want sound research and data generated from real voices and opinions.

Original insights mean you set your own standard rather than following your competitors’.

  • Quantitative surveys generate credible numbers that you, and others, can reference.
  • Qualitative interviews draw out the context, motivations, and human elements behind the data.

Together, these create reputable content that forms a strong foundation for policy and strategy.

How We Generate Proprietary Insights

Quantitative Surveys

  • We design and run surveys that reach the right audiences, with sampling and fieldwork across your priority markets and segments.
  • Statistically meaningful where required, with transparent methods and limitations.
  • Ideal for benchmark reports, “State of X” studies, and indices.

Qualitative Interviews

  • In-depth interviews with customers, partners, experts, regulators, and internal SMEs.
  • Thematic analysis that reveals drivers and objections.
  • Ideal for policy briefs and case-led whitepapers.

Stakeholder Roundtables & Panels

  • Virtual or in-person sessions with decision-makers.
  • Uncover emerging themes, outlooks, consensus and tensions that you can publish.

Insight Synthesis & Storylining

  • Triangulate surveys, interviews, and secondary data.
  • Extract clear findings and recommendations needed for valuable content.
