what does
brains+cheek
actually mean?

Brainy + Cheeky

It’s simple. We sell brainpower. If we weren’t good at the quirky thinking that’s required in research, we’d be out of business. That takes care of the brainy part.

Small + Brainy

We are small, agile and proud. We take personal care of you and your project. We don’t churn things out. We take the time to think. We grow organically.

Cheeky

To start with, cheeky just means a bit more fun than usual. We believe we only have one life to live and we just want to enjoy everything we do. Enjoying what we do means genuine job satisfaction, team spirit and a sense of light-heartedness that you rarely experience in the workplace. This also drives excellent results for your projects.

Story Telling

Our promise to you: No death by powerpoint. We always keep a story in mind with the intention to entertain and create a spark in our audience. We connect the dots in an exciting, interactive and friendly way that takes you and your stakeholders on a journey. We don’t give you slides; we give you a narrative.

Qualitative Research
Is A Personal Matter

We’ve found that most clients are interested in buying the right research professional rather than buying a big company name. You want to work with people you can trust, who will never let you down, who will always be available for you and make you look good. Our client is a human being, and that’s you; not some abstract corporation. We are not researcher droids, we are your researcher friends!

Spreading The Love

We are brainy with a heart. We think passion is what you feel for and about people. And if that doesn’t drive your passion for the work you do, we reckon nothing will. So, whilst we are cerebral, we are also emotional. This is what also makes us some of the most sensitive qualitative research instruments in town.

What they say

I have been exceptionally impressed with the work you have conducted for us and it is a very refreshing change compared to other companies I have worked with. It was evident to see you fully embrace the project and I am already starting to think about additional rounds of research we can do and there is no one else I would wish to conduct it.


George Beale | Pfizer

We were extremely please with the work you did for us, in terms of delving deeply for the very elusive emotional insights and presenting such a polished and detailed delivery. There was no doubt that you squeezed as much as we could possibly obtain from the findings. The video deliverable especially proved to be extremely valuable part of the study and provided a useful tool for our Senior Management.


Julia C & Eric C | BI

I have really enjoyed working with you and have been very impressed with the quality of thinking, your engagement in the project and the opportunity to have a strong thought partner as we go through this process. You provide considered opinion and are prepared to debate issues to ensure appropriate solutions are achieved. Your enthusiasm is infectious and it is clear that you set yourselves high standards of delivery.
