We approach client studies with a unique skill set that includes formal anthropological methods, empathetic observation and interviewing backed by academic, consumer, and business-related experience. In order to connect the dots between clients and their most coveted consumer segments, we combine social and consumer-related ethnography as an approach to understanding people in the lived context they share with products, services and brands.
