Market research can be boring, difficult to understand and, on the whole, frankly draining. Many don't use it. The right people don't engage with it. And it’s fast losing its seat in the boardroom. Yet it doesn’t have to be difficult and it doesn’t have to be dull. It doesn’t need to bust budgets and it doesn’t need to take forever. At Watch Me Think, we help global brands walk in their customers’ shoes. Using videos taken by the customer at the place and in the moment of use. Our mantra is to compel. To excite. To discover and distill. To make it real. To make it come alive.Everything is visually transcribed, semantically analysed, indexed, made searchable, clippable and shareable in your own private/company library. 5-second punches of illumination, argument-winning highlight reels, 1-page exec summaries, qual reports. We’ll even come and present the findings for you. Nothing is spared to make this an easy, fast, high-value, low-effort commission. Projects can be completed in <7 days in >50 countries.An end-to-end video research service. Dealing in sums not dabbling in parts.No other video research company is trusted by as many of the world’s leading FMCG/CPG brands as we are. Not even close.We make research worth watching. And worth keeping. At WMT I manage UK and non-English speaking projects in 40+ countries (and counting). Turnaround times for some of these projects can be less than a week, so ensuring WMT’s processes and procedures can click smoothly and quickly into action is part of my remit.I'm responsible for building relationships with our partner agencies from Rome to Riyadh, Shanghai to Sao Paulo.I also oversee the delivery of our video highlight reels including the translation, captioning and editing to ensure the consumer led insights are brought to life in a powerful, engaging and often surprising way.I've been known to drag colleagues (smiles in tact) up trees and across lakes for the greater good and thus far without retribution.
