Insight Communities

Stay closer. Move faster. Think smarter.

Insight Communities built for today's challenges.

In a world that never stops changing, traditional research methods often struggle to keep up.

Consumer behaviours shift overnight. Budgets are under pressure. Insight teams are stretched thinner than ever. And yet, the demand for fast, accurate insight has never been higher.

That’s where we come in.

Whether you’re looking to do more with less, get closer to your customers or make confident decisions in record time, an always-on Insight Community gives you the power to act, not just react.

What’s an Insight Community?

It’s your own private hub of verified customers – ready to engage, test, share and co-create.

From a few hundred to tens of thousands of participants, our Communities bring your audience together in one secure, branded space, so you can:

  • Tap into real-time feedback
  • Explore attitudes and behaviours as they evolve
  • Test new ideas, creative or propositions
  • Track changing sentiment over time
  • Build deeper relationships with your customers


No more guesswork. Just fast, informed decisions grounded in real insight.

Why choose a Researchbods’ Community?

Flexible support

Whether you want to do it yourself, or get full-service support, you’ll get access to a dedicated team of experts – from insight specialists to community managers – who act as an extension of your own. We keep your Community engaged, your projects on track and your outcomes aligned to your goals.

At the heart of our model is our Client Services team – strategic account leads who are dedicated to shaping your Community to meet your wider business needs. They’ll help define objectives, find the right solutions, track ROI and ensure your stakeholders stay engaged and informed.

Our experienced Community Managers handle the day-to-day running of your branded Community – everything from managing content calendars and engagement strategies to monitoring performance and member wellbeing. They make sure your Community remains vibrant, relevant and ready for insight.

Getting started is simple. Our specialist Onboarding team owns the Insight Community set up and brings in the right experts at the right time, from platform design and branding to profiling and launch. We’ll make sure your Community is built to succeed from day one.

It’s not just about collecting data. We combine behavioural profiling, brand data and ongoing feedback to build a 360° view of your customers. Then we distil it into stories and strategies you can act on with confidence.

Short- or long-term. From 100 to 100,000 members. From product testing to cultural tracking – no two Communities are the same. We’ll help design the right solution for your business, no matter your brief or budget.

Not ready for a Community?
No problem.

Our Insight team is made up of seasoned researchers, sector specialists and creative thinkers who know how to get to the heart of a challenge – fast.

Whether you’re testing a concept, exploring a new audience or looking for strategic guidance, we can deliver standalone research projects tailored to your goals.

If an Insight Community isn’t the right fit now, we’ll meet you where you are – offering the same level of expertise, rigour and actionable thinking through ad hoc or ongoing research support. And if things evolve? We can easily scale up into a Community when the time is right.
