OUR APPROACH

CULTURE-CENTRIC CONSUMER INSIGHT

NERDS provides industry-leading consumer intelligence by surfacing insights that deliver accurate cultural understanding that enables brands to stay one step ahead of the ever-changing consumer landscape.

Cultural resonance is critical for building influential audience engagement, utilising opaque but powerful social bondings that drive brand perceptions and value. Cultural currency is the surest way to create consumer loyalty and brand sustainability.

As the industry-leading consumer research agency, we provide highly nuanced cultural intelligence which helps unpack your audience ecosystem, surfacing ways to get your brand consumer centricity through deep cultural understanding. We provide the source material to improve your brand cachet, elevate your place within the aspiration economy, and secure long-term brand sustainability.

Our work is collected from hard-to-reach consumer groups most companies struggle to understand and build emotional connections with.

NERDs research is gathered through our in-house research portal, Frontline and translated into actionable insights and distinct cultural connections.

Our research is co-authored with the communities at the centre of the movements your brand aims to align with.

We know consumers focus their spending on brands that share their cultural positioning and lifestyle associations.

We help our clients unlock the power of diverse and rich consumer insights and social understanding to craft unique and compelling cultural selling propositions. This begins with an informed and robust consumer understanding, this starts with us.

We are the preferred consumer research agency due to our industry-leading hybrid methodology research projects for the world’s foremost consumer brands. We partnered with brands such as Twitter, Puma, adidas, Nike, Levi’s and Budweiser to help position themselves at the centre of their strategic target consumer world.

Over ten years of getting Nerdy with research and insight has provided NERDS with a reputation as an industry disrupter and leading consumer research agency as we help brands unpack consumer mindsets, behaviours, practices, rituals, trends and ideologies.

PRODUCT TESTING & COMMS TESTING

Product and comms testing, spanning both quantitative and qualitative methods, guarantees your products are rooted in your target consumers' needs and desires.

SMARTPHONE ETHNOGRAPHY

Ethnography is a research methodology that observes respondents in their everyday lives to demonstrate how they spend their time and how they interact with brands and their environment. Smartphone Ethnography lets respondents capture and broadcast snippets throughout their daily lives, documenting their interactions within their environment, providing direct and real-time insight.

PANELS, WORKSHOPS & FOCUS GROUPS

NERDS works across a spectrum of quant and qual methodologies, including building bespoke brand panels, curating candid focus groups and hosting compelling and thought-provoking consumer/client sessions.

CULTURAL IMMERSIONS

Cultural immersions put your brand leaders at the centre of your consumer landscape, spending time in their world, offering candid, all-access insight into their mindsets, preferences, belief systems and brand needs, highlighting how to create a more engaging point of connection.

PSYCHOGRAPHIC PROFILING & SEGMENTATION

Psychographic profiling provides detailed consumer traits as well as attitudes, habits, and interests that can be divided into sub-segments – for deeper analysis and more focused targeting.

QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH

Quantitative Research, otherwise known as “quant”, refers to the process of gathering numerical data and analysis. This provides clients with objective findings relating to a much more diverse and robust respondent sample and can be used to extend conclusions about wider audience segments.

QUALITATIVE RESEARCH

Qualitative Research, otherwise known as“qual”, focuses on smaller respondent numbers and deeper, richer interview formats such as in-depth interviews, ethnographic studies, and focus groups etc. This methodology surfaces detailed and emotionally rich results. When coupled with quant research, qual can expand on and contextualise numerical data.
