How

Unravel

 

Understanding what makes people tick and finding out how brands can play a meaningful role in the lives of the consumer. That is our foundation and our passion. MARE stands for quality, and this is reflected in the sharpness of our insights. It is not just about asking the right questions, but also about connecting to the broader context and translating findings into actionable advice. That is what makes us top-notch researchers.

 

We offer a wide range of research types, varying from strategic to more tactical levels. This includes proposition research, positioning research, communication research and customer journey mapping. Together, we determine the right tailored approach.

 

To arrive at the right insights, we use a variety of techniques. Some MARE classics include:

  • Consumer safari
  • Online communities
  • Online research
  • UX research
  • Agile research
  • Feedview
  • Jekyll & Hyde

Empathy is our starting point. We put people at the centre and build from a deep understanding of needs, drivers and context.

Our iterative approach is characterised by alternating between generating a wealth of insights and ideas and creating focus by prioritising and making clear choices.
