About us
Who we are and what we stand for
Who we are
The insight industry is dealing with a period of unprecedented change. In the face of this rapid evolution you need a research partner, not just a supplier.
That’s us.
We’re a market insight agency that’s been turning customer confusion into clarity since 2011. From retail to financial services, media to technology – we work with brands who refuse to guess what their customers want.
We’re the passionate researchers who turn insight into opportunity. Our curious and friendly team gets to know your customers inside out, so you can too.
We work as your integrated collaborators – immersing ourselves in your business, challenging your assumptions and revolutionising how you see and engage with your customers.
Our approaches blend human expertise with AI-enhanced tech to deliver insights built for implementation – not endless analysis, but decisive direction that transforms how you act. Whether through our always-on Insight Communities or custom research, we focus on insight that demands action and delivers the competitive edge needed to drive businesses forwards.
We use our expertise to uncover the opportunities in your data that others miss – the ones that turn uncertainty into momentum, and potential into competitive edge. And we do it all with an energy that leaves you fired up to act.
What we stand for
“We get under the skin of your business, challenge what you think you know, and give you insights that force decisions – not reports that gather dust.”

Our values
Why do clients choose Researchbods?
Passionate
We’re the agency that calls you with ideas, not just updates. When others stick to scope, we spot opportunities. Your wins get us as excited as our own, and when projects hit roadblocks, we get creative, not cautious.
Curious
We’re relentlessly curious about what makes your customers tick and your business thrive. We keep questioning, keep improving, keep finding angles others miss. It’s how we spot transformative opportunities for improvement everywhere – and create actionable strategies to capitalise on them.
Friendly
We skip the corporate speak and talk like humans. Complex findings become clear stories. Statistics become ‘here’s what this means for your business’. And we work alongside you. We become part of your thinking, giving you direct access to the people doing the work, so problems get solved in minutes, not meetings.
Tech-enabled, people-first
We build tools that enhance our researchers’ abilities and amplify their impact. Our proprietary platforms handle the data crunching so our people can focus on the insight crafting. We automate the mechanical, amplify the human. Because understanding behaviour takes more than algorithms.
Collaborative
We collaborate as equals because shared expertise creates stronger insight. When we’re in the room with your stakeholders, we’re there as your strategic allies, championing insights that move your business forward.
Innovative
Innovation happens in partnership with our clients, not in isolation. We run proof-of-concepts together, refining approaches until they deliver value when tested on real challenges. We’d rather perfect one breakthrough approach than chase ten fleeting trends.
