Growth is hard because real change is hard.
The next 10m or 100m customers are always more difficult and expensive to get.

As business leaders, you know there is a bigger growth opportunity out there than can be accessed by simply optimising your tactics.
But with one eye on today’s numbers, choosing the right focus for tomorrow’s growth with so many competing growth levers, data-points and business agendas is tough. And as your business matures, the weight of legacy, of ‘we tried that and..’ gets greater at every step.
With limited time and resources, picking your way through this minefield of data, insight and opinion to a simple, well evidenced strategic way forwards can feel overwhelming.

Everyone talks about growth and being customer-centric.

To understand the market as your customer sees it, we need to profile their
underlying values and emotions
and
their real-life behaviours and choices:
where and why the money flows.
Read more: Outsiders and underdogs are winning all the time because...
The consultancy world has always overplayed the rational and bottom-line efficiency, but tend to be robust. The agency world gets the emotional, but can lack the commercial rigour.
We believe there is a sweet-spot between underlying emotions and commercial behaviours which is rooted in customer data.
Deep-rooted currents of values and emotions shape our perceptions, our fast intuitive judgments about the world, brands and how we act.
