UNEARTHING DEEP INSIGHTS & INCUBATING NEW IDEAS
OUR MISSION
COSTLY SURFACE LEVEL
INSIGHTS
As a creative leader looking to land new ideas, you know the importance of injecting real customer insights and testing into your design process.
THE PROBLEM WE SEE
As a result of leaning more heavily on technology, retail feedback or big data to drive design, you're often left with expensive prototypes that lack a human connection, copycat designs, and low adoption rates.
In reality though, a shortage of time, resources and budget, can force you to outsource to agencies that don't understand your industry or needs and leave you with costly surface level insights that are rarely actionable. It's also hard to find great people to test new ideas with, and even harder to do it in an authentic environment.
Brands who integrate this type of approach can outpace peers by 228%.
Still, only 55% of brands are actually conducting this type of research today
And an intentional consumer experience can raise conversion rates by 400%.
WE PROVIDE DEEP QUALITATIVE RESEARCH
The majority of consumer research points to what people do, but qualitative research helps us understand why people do what they do. Together with our own fitness communities in our LivingLabs© and global network in our Lab2Street© program, we explore what people think and feel by watching, listening, and engaging with them, while they explore your ideas and use your products in a real life environment.
HOW WE HELP
QUALITY FAST RESEARCH
With communities of more than 1000 thought leaders and our unique lab spaces, we can recruit, connect, and test in an authentic environment quicker.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR BUSINESS
With decades of experience in teams just like yours, we get product creation, the role that insights play, and how to position them for success.
VALUABLE & ACTIONABLE INSIGHTS FAST
We change the game by putting our own communities and livinglabs© at the heart of your creative process. As a small and agile team, we pair our background in Fortune 500 and fitness community building with expertise in qualitative research, rapid concept testing, and content creation to get you thoughtful feedback that helps you make quick decisions and win buy-in from any downstream team.
WHAT SETS US APART
INDUSTRY EXPERTISE
As active gym owners and community builders, we live and breathe this industry, and can provide a POV from within it, rather than outside it.
