Consumers just buy stuff.
Citizens participate.
We are experts in enabling brands to fulfil their role in both people’s lives and in society. We are highly agile qual and quant insight specialists working in the UK and globally.
Think of them like our mini-manifesto; four principles that underpin our work and character.
Our values are the essential ingredients in our approach to insight. You will find them evidenced in all of our work, and across all of our team. This helps us to deliver impactful insight solutions across four distinct pillars; Brand, Comms, Innovation, Being.
Brand positioning, tracking, evolution and purpose.
Creating, evaluating and sustaining global campaigns.
Idea generation, winning concepts, user experience and sensory profiling.
Exploratory cultural understanding and social conscience.
We understand what makes consumers respond to comms and we know how to diagnose and tease apart the strategy, execution, stimulus – we nurture ideas to help shape and evolve.
We work with clients to help build their brands and to create consumer-centric strategies, through innovative and engaging research techniques
Our proprietary approach to brand tracking utilises explicit and implicit techniques within a core KPI framework, centred around the availability and relevance of your brand.
Through observation, exploration and understanding, we employ our fascination for human behaviour to derive exactly what it means for your brand.
From conception to launch, providing guidance on sensorial delivery of the products.
We hear ‘concepts’ but we think ‘adcepts’; a refined approach to concept testing that enables creative ideas to flourish and engages respondent’s System 1 and 2.
We have experience conducting research right around the globe, and bring that expertise to every project. However, we understand there are barriers to researching in-market and at such times we employ creative methods that deliver international research on a domestic budget.
In a world of algorithms and personalisation, segmentations are still one of the most powerful tools for understanding consumers’ needs and attitudes. We design, conduct and deliver a segmentation bespoke to your business.
We work in strategic partnership with some of the world’s biggest brands. We’re experts in creating bespoke, tailored responses to all types of brief. We’ve picked out a few projects to showcase our expertise but it’s just the tip of the iceberg. If you’d like to see more of our work, just get in touch.
The more you learn, the more you want to know. New issues to explore. New questions to ask. New challenges to meet. So, to help us stay sharp and savvy, we invest in our own thought leadership projects. It feeds our curiosity and informs our work.

Managing Director.
Kat is a qualitative expert, our RDSi Managing Director, and takes charge of all things HR. Having competed for Great Britain as a triathlete, it seems only natural that Kat should manage the project cycle, run the company, and keep us all getting along swimmingly.
Board Director.
Dave is a quantitative specialist with a diverse research background, including client-side media. Dave likes to sit… at his piano, on his motorbike, or with a favourite book.
Board Director.
Emma is a highly experienced qualitative researcher and RDSi Board Director. Emma’s love for observing human behaviour extends beyond Homo sapiens; she’s seen gorillas in Rwanda and orangutans in Borneo as part of her love for conservation biology.
Board Director.
Tim is one of our senior quantitative directors and a member of the RDSi Board. At weekends, Tim competes in downhill mountain bike racing, so he’s pretty good at things like risk analysis and getting places fast.
Board Member.
As a non-executive Board Member, and with an oversight on the RDSi accounts, Steve has to keep us on course when things are going smoothly and when life throws up the odd mogul. As a passionate skier, he is more than prepared for the challenge.
We are always on the look out for talented researchers to join our team. Whether you are experienced in either qualitative or quantitative research, or based in the North or South, we want to hear from you. Wondering if we will get along? Ask yourself these four questions; Are you curious about the world you live in, and the people around you? Do you work to high standards of integrity? Can you explain the most complicated ideas in the simplest of ways? And most importantly, do you have an opinion? If you answered yes to all of these, then send us an email now!
