Questions people ask before booking
Do I need a brief?
No. Most good conversations start with a rough question and a decision you're facing. We work out the rest together. Or it could simply be an introductory chat!
What does it cost?
Every project is scoped to the decision it needs to support, so the final number depends on who we need to reach and what you need at the end. You'll get a ballpark on the call.
How long does a project take?
Typically projects can take between 4-8 weeks depending on complexity. We'll give you a realistic timeline for your question on the call.
What if I'm not sure research is the answer?
Then the call is for you. If research won't help, we'll say so.
What do we get at the end?
Not always a report. The format follows the decision, whether that's a workshop, a short video, an insight page or an audio summary your stakeholders will actually use.
Prefer to write it down?
Tell us about your challenge and we'll come back to you personally.
