Capabilities

Full-service qualitative and quantitative research across Greater China and Asia-Pacific. Methodology follows the question, never the other way round.

Our approach

A simple ambition — to reach our clients' objectives and develop a clear strategy to achieve them. Research is creatively designed around your objectives, scientifically grounded, and interpreted with the human factor so findings become actionable strategy, not reams of data.

We believe in scientific methodology and the latest technology, but we are not driven by it — it is a tool for delivering quality work. We always apply the human factor in analysis so the meaning is clear to our clients.

How we run projects

01

One project manager, end to end

Each project is handled by a project manager responsible for all stages — proposal, instruments, fieldwork, processing, analysis and recommendations.

02

Same moderator, every session

For qualitative work we use the same moderator across all sessions so insight builds cumulatively across sessions and markets.

03

Regional partners, our standards

Field management runs from Hong Kong. Regional partners adhere to the same quality guidelines; we attend markets personally for briefing and debriefing.

Quality: member of ESOMAR, QRCA and MRS — we adhere to their professional codes
