Interim and project based strategic insight and research consultancy
From an award winning researcher
Business questions are universal
I can help you fathom out the answers
I’ve spent twenty years advising companies like ITV, eBay, Rightmove, Sony Mobile and Macmillan Cancer Support on how to devise the market research and insight they need to move their businesses forward.
During that time I’ve learned most businesses have similar business questions: how can we grow, how can we develop new ideas fast, is our marketing working, what does best in class customer experience look like, how much should we charge for our products?
I will work with you to forensically define what it is you need to know to answer your questions, advise on how best to maximise your investment in research and then deliver you commercially impactful and focused insights
Where will growth come from?
What can I do to reduce attrition?
How can we develop new ideas & products - fast?
Is it working?
What does best in class CX look like?
How do we get the most out of what we already know?
How I can help
You may be a new business in need of insight for the first time or an established clientside organisation or agency.

Where appropriate I'll draw on network of specialist experts eg semioticians, data modellers

About me
Most research projects require more than one methodology. Which is good because I'm methodology agnostic: I'll define your business and research needs and advise you on the best ways to get insights back which are actionable, commercially focused and deliver great vfm. Here are some examples of the kinds of business questions I've loved tackling so far

Methods ranging from desk research, qual, conjoint, Kano and behavioural sciences helped a broadcaster define its pay TV strategy

This study unravelled the networks that ignite when someone is diagnosed with cancer and the roles each person plays in a cancer journey, providing invaluable guidance to inform service and fundraising strategies for this household name

“Suzanne is a rare creature indeed. She just gets it. She understands TV research and schedule demands, she understands VOD, the web and anything digital, but most of all, and this is the most valuable bit, she gets consumers. She is uniquely able to join up the dots between platforms, content, TV shows and all sorts of consumer behaviours with their emotional and practical needs. If you have a product that needs insight or measurement to drive insight, Suzanne is brilliant. I've never worked with anyone so talented in research and I've worked with a few!”
