Hiring external resource provides the objectivity you need and provides a cost-effective way of getting the expertise you need, when you need it.

What we do

BrandConcerns specialises in qualitative research. We work with our clients to support them where they need help – we can run the whole project for you from initial design right through to agreeing actionable outcomes or we can offer ad hoc support helping you in specific areas.

We understand that you can’t always plan when you need research help or, even what help you might need, which is why we’re flexible enough to step in at the last minute or take on part projects.

Whilst we specialise in qualitative research, we advise on quantitative projects working with one of our preferred partners to deliver the project.

Our team is highly experienced in both running large, complex research projects for whole countries as well as smaller, simpler ones for start-ups and micro SMES.

Our values

Depth – understand the whole picture / the context.

Pragmatic – actionable results

Tailored – not off the peg but research programmes that fit your specific needs

Team players – fit in with your way of working whilst bringing our own expertise

Expert – highly experienced but not dogmatic

Our approach to research

Our approach to research is very simple we have three golden rules – know:

Why? – are you doing this research & what do you need to find out

Who? – do you need to talk to

How – are you going to engage with them

Like all the simplest things, it’s harder than it sounds but by following these rules, we ensure that your research is focused on the needs of your organisation to provide the insights you need to move forward with confidence and commitment.
