Our Philosophy
Our Believes
Intuitive Research
3i-s Research use a wide and varying range of approaches and tools in their work, but are not guided by methodologies. More than anything they apply their own intuition and experience to any research problem. Research should be enabling, it should inspire. It should not be thought of as a consumer arbitration process.
Insightful Thinking
Research without thinking is at best superficial, and at worst dangerous. 3i-s Research professionals work through consumer response, looking at where that response comes from, and what it means for brands going forward. Their language skills and backgrounds contribute to a world view taking cultural relativism as given; this leads to marketing solutions that understand cultural idiosyncrasies, while looking to the big idea which gives a brand its force.
